We decided that we needed to get out and enjoy some fresh air, so we decided to explore campus. As we were passing the Stake Center where Una works, Maikale began yelling, "Hi mooooooommmmm!" over and over agin! We decided to walk in and see if we could find locate Una, so Maikale could say hello. They were both excited to see each other! We continued walking around campus and naming everything we saw: birds, clouds, sun, trees, flowers, grass, babies, and people. I would point and say the name and she would repeat me. Every person we would pass I would say, "Maikale say hi to your friend," and she would give a half smile and say, "Hiiiii." 

We also visited the library and I read the Big Books with Maikale and we played Ipad matching games.

Today we tried a sorting game, but Maikale wasn't able to grasp the concept, so we (I) sorted the objects and talked aloud as I did the sorting. We went through puzzles, coloring, and painting with a very short attention span during this visit. I think Maikale was very over tired, so she laid her head on the pillow and we massaged her legs and back. I think Maikale enjoyed the roller on her back, Sini even took a turn massaging during this visit.
