Recently, we found that Ben has a new activity, or at least one we hadn’t seen him doing before, involving sorting large wooden beads of various sizes, shapes and colors using dowel rods. What cracked us up was how he removed them for another round. This past Sunday when we arrived, he was in his room playing with the game. When he saw me he quickly shifted to putting his shoes on. I asked him if he’d like to finish the bead game and he happily turned back and finished.
