Weekly Therapy Update & More!

Geeze!  It's Friday already?!?!
 
YO GABBA GABBA!!!
is the big thing in our house right now.
 


I'm not sure who was the first one to put it on Netflix for the kids - Chris or Grammy.  In any case, both Raymond and Lily love it!  A LOT!

Here are the therapy updates from the week:
 
"Raymond did a lot of sitting Indian style and some side sitting occasionally.  He did a lot of squatting play, picking up objects.  Attempting to transfer to half-kneel from sit to stand.  Did head, shoulders, knees and toes.  Raymond did well for me on our first day today.  He was engaged in play for a bit of various activities.  No tall-kneeling or half-kneeling today but he did do a lot of movements and activities."

"While singing Raymond attempted to fill in "roll", "pat" (verbally) for pat-a-cake.  Nice approximation.  Sang songs - pictures - signs were introduced for each song.  Raymond looked at pictures and handed a picture to me several times to sing song again.  Played with "M" Leapfrog toy to encourage production of /M/.  /M/ was modeled several other times.  No attempts at imitating sound but was able to close lips in imitation.  Raymond's attention to task was good today."

"Raymond attended well for 30+ minutes sitting to start and complete FM activities.  He completed several puzzles, used 2 hands together for stringing beads and potato head, and also scribbled briefly (and interest).  Good direction following and participating today."

"Raymond needed some prompting in order to follow directions.  Raymond transitioned throughout the routine today.  Raymond did a nice job taking turns today."

UPDATE FOR LILY
 
"Lily is working on imitating and requesting.  When prompted, Lily will attempt to repeat.  She was successful at understanding the power of requesting and initiated on her own after examples were given.  Lily is increasing her vocabulary but requires cues to do so."
-Tara, Speech Therapist

Next week is going to be a busy one - especially Wednesday.  Wednesday I take Raymond to see the surgeon to schedule his surgery to remove his gallbladder.  That will finally be done.  Thank goodness!
 
Until Next Time!
Lots of Love,
