Weekly Therapy Update & More

Isabella continues to love school.  The elementary school was having spirit days this week to coincide with homecoming.  Everyday of the week had a different fun theme for the kids to get involved with.
 
Monday was Favorite Team Jersey/Shirt...

Tuesday was Crazy Sock Day...
 

 
Wednesday was Mix Match Day...

 
Thursday was Crazy Hair Day...
(I honestly was expecting her to want something more "crazy")
 
 
 
And today is Red and Black Day (the school's colors)...
 
 
Miss Lily wanted her picture taken too...

 
 What an expression!
 
After about a dozen shots, this is the best one I got of Raymond : )
 
 
 Here are Raymond's therapy updates for the week:
 
"Raymond gave me a hard time today.  He was sleepy and just wanted to sit on the couch.  Raymond did not want me to touch him at all.  He did "ring-around-the-rosie" one time with help to stand through 1/2 kneel.  He sat in sidesit briefly and practiced tip-toe standing 3 times.  Raymond worked on balance reactions by pulling the balls off the Velcro which is difficult for him to not lose his balance.  Ended the session working on 1/2 kneel to stand on the couch holding onto the back with one hand."

 "Raymond was awesome today.  He worked on words. 
Used lotto game - Raymond was able to answer 4 what is it? questions and match picture to picture.
He was able to show me triangle, circle, square with minimal prompting.
He said car, plane, square, circle, eyes, mouth and nose.  He identified 3 colors - with signs.
Great session - very attentive = worked on actions.  Brush hair and get dressed."

 "Raymond was a little more cooperative today but still prefers to play in sitting.  Raymond practiced:
1)  Sidesit with legs to the left
2)  1/2 kneel briefly with a lot of support
3)  Jumping over objects 6" with help
4)  Play in standing while fishing briefly"

"Raymond was a little more reserved today.  He signed "play" and said "ooh" when I arrived.  Raymond said "GO" with the racetrack.  When asked questions, Raymond answered "yes!" or "okay!".  He imitated purple and blue for shape sorter.  Worked on imitating sounds for vehicle puzzle."

The new therapist will be started to come out next week to shadow.  The transition should be interesting!  I'll let you know how it goes.
 

 
 Until Next Time!
Lots of Love,
