I love the grouping - very creative! (I must admit I do feel a little worried for the bear though too - LOL!) I’m so glad that you have a good therapist working with you - that makes a huge difference in our worries as parents.

Oooh! What lovely grouping! It looks like a pow-wow- maybe the polar bear is telling them all a story? Perhaps a game of duck-duck-goose? Very cute!

I love his little set up with the bear, poor bear! I don’t have advice for the teaching tones with lions but I’ll have to think about it, there must be a way to incorporate it. It looks like you have some pretty angry looking lions and then if you have happy looking lions and just start with those two tones and make them talk to each other? Anyway, looks like he had a great time with all those pictures!

Lions, and tigers, and bears!! Oh, My. Do you think he would sit through a viewing of “The Wizard of Oz”?

Its great that he has such an interest in something that you can use.

It looks like Jack had a pretty good time with the lions. The polar bear does stand out, but perhaps the bear makes friends with the lions despite being different. : )

This is too cute. It is wonderful when there is an interest that you can totally indulge in and use for all kinds of learning things. I bet you could come up with some sort of “lion” way of teaching voice inflections. We are still struggling with voice issues and understanding meaning behind them here. Do you have to watch how you speak and hold yourself all the time? Maizie is so sensitive to my behavior and how I speak. If I am retelling stories to Joe she will get very upset when I seem excited. It can be tiring, I think always having to explain why I am speaking or looking a certain way. Now whenever I see lion things I am going to think of Jack.

That polar bear does look like he is in a scary spot.
