Interested in Pictures of homemade BIT cards

[texaslady22]

I made a TON of homemade Bits.

I used 8.5 x 11 cardstock because it was so much less expensive.

Mostly, I went to the used bookstore and bought art books, science books, etc and cut and pasted. Then I did laminate them using laminating sleeves.

You can see a picture of some of my homemade Bits here. I enjoyed making them. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wGfTgMP9nBw/Rl8dOBmE8zI/AAAAAAAAAhI/flliZejyx_0/s1600-h/DSCI0145.JPG

Let me know if you have any questions!

Your bit looks so nice.  I love making bits too.  It is exciting to think of all the things you can teach your baby.  Thanks for sharing.

Attached is a photo of some of my homemade bits. I use those magnetic photo albums and either do full size which can be filed, or I cut them and store them in photo boxes.

Since January my 3 year old with Down syndrome has learned 10 inventors and what they invented, 10 composers, the flags of South America, about 30 flags of Africa, about 20 breeds of dogs, 10 organs of the body, 10 composers, 10 missionaries, 10 world leaders, some word cards and some math dots.

It has been a long road to get here though. When Josiah was 18 months I showed him a card with the word “good-bye”. I didn’t say anything, I didn’t make any gestures, and he began to wave. This was the first time I realized that he was understanding the words I was showing him. I was  also showing him dots and pictures. Unfortunately it took another two years before he was ready to show me more.  I persevered during that time, though I confess that I wasn’t as consistent as I would have liked. Sometimes I would be on the program then we would take a break, but in January I decided to get back in full tilt and was thrilled.

My friends are amazed when they see him because on the outside he appears like a toddler. He is not very verbal and shows me the answers by pointing.

I share this to encourage you all to persevere. Your child will get it if you don't give up.

Wow, Denise Joy!  That is amazing!  I'm going to forward your post to my girlfriend who has a 16 month old daughter with D.S.

By the way, I don't think your attachment was "attached"   But then again, I'm pretty tired and may have missed it...

[kizudo]

Seriously!  It wasn't there a minute ago!  I swear.  Sheesh.

[kizudo]

Okay...not that you care...but I thought I was losing it.

I figured it out - when you go in as "guest" the attachment doesn't show up...after I logged in to comment I was officially "in" and presto, your attachment was there.

Sigh...time for bed

Kizudo, you sounded even crazier when you tried to explain yourself.. I laughted out loud..
J/k..
By the way ..can someone tell me how to show your baby these "bits" properly?
