Math Genius

WEEK

7

According to this week's article, Scott should have short intervals where he's quiet, alert and ready to learn. If we talk to him, sing him songs, and present him with simple arithmetic, he will start to catch on quickly. Also, he is supposed to start making "pre-speech" cooing noises.

We have noticed that he's more alert and aware of his surroundings. He seems to recognize us more now and reacts with the occasional smile. Today I called his name and he immediately turned his head to look my way and let out a little coo. We just live for these moments.

Today Scott put his safari gear to the test when we took a trip out to the mailbox. His camouflage boonie hat served him well in the the afternoon sun. It's been incredibly hot here the last few days, so Scott mostly hides indoors and does Sudoku puzzles.
