Jay has thought of a new way of expressing himself so this is the first of a new type of post. I think it is both beautiful and tough to read.  I appreciate this new venue for your expression Dad!

...After Breakfast

Let’s take your robe off

We’ll hang it in the closet.


There’s your toothbrush.

Put it under the tap.

Here’s some toothpaste.

Push the top button

Yes that’s the one.

Push it.

Now brush


Spit


Rinse the brush.

Under the tap

Now brush again.


Spit


Rinse the brush.

Under the tap

Turn it off

The small button

Yes, push it.


Here’s a towel.

Dry your hands.

And Face.

And the brush.

Put it on the stand.


I’ll fold the towel

And put it on the rack


Here’s your hair brush.

Brush your hair

We’ll put it in the drawer.


… Before Bed


There’s your toothbrush.

Put it under the tap.

Here’s some toothpaste.

Push the top button

Yes that’s the one.

Push it.

Now brush


Spit


Rinse the brush.

Under the tap

Now brush again.


Spit


Rinse the brush.

Under the tap

Turn it off

The small button

Yes, push it.


Here’s a towel.

Dry your hands.

And Face.

And the brush.

Put it on the stand.


I’ll fold the towel

And put it on the rack


Here’s your hair brush.

Brush your hair

We’ll put it in the drawer.


…. And again tomorrow

…. Each day

…. 20 minutes of life

…. Together
