Oliver At 10 Years

July, 2002
At
10 years Oliver can -
- choose in advance, some things that he will do
during the day, e.g. state which video he will watch after dinner.
- he can help in the kitchen and enjoys trying to
weigh and measure the ingredients.
Oliver is willing to try something new to eat when he has made it
himself.
- greet strangers at Disneyland Paris with
'bonjour!'
- follow routes on the London Underground. He will give a running commentary of
the stations he passes and connections to other lines. Some Senior Citizens have thanked him
for providing a useful service!
- enjoy going to the theatre. He will sit and watch sensibly and join
in where appropriate.
- go on the water slides at the swimming
pool. Oliver does not tire at this
activity and would happily stay on this activity all day. The water slide is one occasion where
he does not make a fuss when he goes under the water or gets his hair wet.
- play marbles and will often hit the 'target'.
- remember a few steps of a simple dance routine
and keeps good time with the music.
- sing a few songs using the karaoke machine. This is also helping with his reading.
- enjoy a short bedtime story. He especially likes the Mr Men
books (by Roger Hargreaves) and remembers many of the characters.
