Summer’s Developmental Therapist saw her on Tuesday. When she arrived Summer was still having her nap. She was very excited to wake up and see what Marg had in her toy bag.
Marg has quite the fan club as she prefers to work with Summer in the presence of her peers. I have seen it in action... and she looks a little bit like the Pied Piper...
She brought a large bin of "girly" Lego (Little mermaid) and somehow a few toy story Lego was mixed in so the boys were happy too.
Summer was very interested in the Lego and we put Arial in the shell. She made a tower etc. Now I know why she was so interested in wearing her Ariel pyjamas last night!
When they went outside they did drawing with the mess free marker on the fence. They used a very large piece of crayola paper and the markers that turn into colours.
Using magnets that are a variety of shapes making monkeys etc. and puzzles that were magnetic, Summer’s friends put the puzzle pieces in and Summer used a tube shaped magnet to pick up the pieces.
Summer’s favourite activity was the bubbles. Marg and Summer were both sticky when that activity concluded!
Marg mentioned that Summer was a little tired yesterday and she thinks the novelty of the cast has worn off. She is excited to try anything but sneaks her casted hand in from time to time. In most cases it was o.k. as it made the quality of her movement better and more symmetrical.
When trying more challenging skills Summer sometimes adjusts her body to allow her to get her arm in the correct position. She is much quicker at picking up items now.
Summer continues to help Marg with her "running" when all else fails. :-)
