I don't feel that I have gotten in a rut with the plans I make for BE, and I don't feel like I am personally in a rut. I attribute this to several things, first of all BE has fun with everything and he has such a great attitude about it all that anything that I have tried with him he has enjoyed. Secondly, I have had several ideas that I may not even get to because we only have one week left. So that has been a bonus. I think that if I struggled coming up with things for us to do I may get stuck in more of a rut. Since I have so many ideas I don't feel like I've been stuck in a rut.
I think what the others' have said about letting our participants have some choice in the activities they participate in has a lot of pros and helps us stay out of a rut. I was planning on doing that with BE last Tuesday. I had 3 ideas I was going to let him choose from. He ended up not coming, so 2 of my 3 ideas will still be available to us this Tuesday when he comes and I plan on letting him decide between the two of them.
He likes the rock wall so that is one option
The other option will be to put a puzzle together, I also have some modeling clay we will make things out of, and then we can put shaving cream on the table and "paint" on it. All activities that will help our FMS. I know that he will enjoy all of those options.
Honestly, there are so many options with BE which makes it a bonus for me. If he didn't like so many different activities I think I would have a much more difficult time staying motivated.
