He sat straight up with both his legs under the table. I took out the objects from the box one by one in order; pig, lid, pan,  fan,  bun,  hat . He named the object correctly except for the bun that he called  bread.  We repeated the first step, and he correctly recognised the objects.  I then took out two objects at the same time and gave the initial sound of the object's name.
