My eldest decided to give mum a lie-in and prepared breakfast for all 3 boys this morning. He did a fantastic job of preparing coco bombs for himself and 'twoson'. In fact, he did just fine sorting out weetbix for 'threeson'. His only mistake was to 'warm' it in the microwave for 30 MINUTES instead of 30 seconds!!!
The picture is what was left of the weetbix plus bowl after approx. 15 mins in a 1000W microwave! As the warning goes, 'Folks, don't try this at home'.
Just over an hour later, the house still stinks. I will be preparing a 'recipe' later to be stuck to the kitchen wall in a prominent position to cue 'oneson' through the process of making weetbix successfully in future!
The 'recipe' will take the form of a simple photographic story with simple sentences. I may also turn this in to his first 'social script' book. Most folks with ASD kids will be familiar with the type of thing I mean.
Yes, I did eventually remember to praise and congratulate 'oneson' on his excellent caring behaviour towards his siblings this morning (after the smoke had cleared sufficiently to breath without coughing).
