Audrey is Awesome at Mary's

The past two OT sessions have been REALLY good. The first one, last Wed. was the third of three therapy sessions she had in one day. She was a trooper! No fussing at all. We did a lot of work on her kitchen set. We worked on nesting cups, shape sorting, stirring, using her pointer to activate her blender, standing, weight bearing, etc. I couldn't even tell she'd been working hard all day. I was really proud of her.

Today I brought in some extras. We worked on a pincer grasp (looking good on her right side, focusing on improving her left), stacking 1" cubes (hard, but she stacked two), placing foam shapes on a peg (none hit the peg today, but great attention and effort), and separating plastic oreos using two hands (needed help). She weight beared in 4-point for 25 seconds, twice! I'm working hard on keeping her hips and knees bent while she straddles my leg and leans/reaches for objects and then sits back up. This is hard and she wants to straighten her legs and as she reaches down. I did get some good (unintentional) standing from a seated position on that one. So far so good.
