Audrey's December OT

Audrey's attention and participation in activities continues to be good. Her upper body is getting much stronger and she wheelbarrow walked 25 steps when supported at her knees. This month, she stacked 8 blocks and put a bead on a string, but couldn't advance it down the string. She is very good with basic puzzles and always gets near the correct piece...if she doesn't get it in all the way. She keeps working on drawing lines and circles---her vertical line drawing is emerging, but she still requires assist to form horizontal lines. She holds scissors and touches them to the paper...not yet snipping it, but she's getting the idea. OT isn't at school during mealtime, but after talking to her teachers, they are doing a good job having her work on getting into her chair and holding/using a spoon. Go Audrey!

That is great news Molly! These days, we see Audrey using food utensils very well at home (not surprisingly, if it is something she really likes!) Also, we see her stacking a lot of stuff around the house, not just blocks—-books, other toys, and whatever else she can find on the floor, which in our house can include any number of items.
We love your blog posts! Please feel free to use them as a way to remind Kama and I what we should be working on at home too! Thanks Molly!
