I am the same
So I did all the things I had said I would on Friday
Except that I did them all on Sunday
First , Visual Schedule book looked something like this
I bought this from a woman on Ebay more than a year ago - The hardest part about the visual schedule is having all the options and also having the scheudle with you
R really understands it - all the pictures have images as well as words so he can read them as well and it really helps him understand what comes after what
I ended up keeping a little pad so I could write things down as well
Second ,Pretend play Scenarios
1. did several versions of a tea - party ( failed - no interest at all)
2. Did several scenarios of doll playing with a ball( that you can see in the picture as well ) - this is a scenario R has created for himself because of a Blues Clues Book
Third Picture Book - Book about R
Collected all the materials - I think I am going to start with the simplest and cheapest . A power point presentation of R's day with captions etc
- like
"R likes to play in the sandbox" with a picture like this
( with labels on everything ) etc
I plan to end the book with simple what questions like
"What color is the sandbox?"

I love your ideas. Great job. Your little boy is so adorable.
You got a lot accomplished mama..
congratulations.
Oh, a tea party may not be fun for a boy..
My whole house is [still] labeled as they still get stuck with words like 'trunk' and 'green' oh and 'hall'. Once the scaffolding is in place it just helps everyone so much it's well worth the time and investment.
Best wishes
Good for you! You got a lot done; I can't wait to hear how it's working as time goes on.
Since R loves numbers, maybe he can be the guy at walmart, selling you toys for fake dollars.
You did way better than I do when I make a To Do List!!! I am just awful with following through!! Don't get discouraged that the pretend play didn't work out. That's a tough one. It almost never works when I plan beforehand. Usually Daniel starts something and I try to expand from there..and that may or may not fly!!
