Yesterday was a very long day. It started with 3 hours of therapy and ended with a pool party. In between we had pizza and did some shopping. Benaiah continues to impress his therapists and is making great improvement. It is fun to watch how excited they get when they come out to talk to me. He is doing as good as he did with First Steps as a baby. They say he is a great kid and they are loving working with him. In OT, they worked on saying shapes and colors and he would repeat them but could say purple on his own. In Speech they worked on Miss Niki's kindle. Benaiah is obsessed with cake, so they made cakes and played with a doll house. He made her laugh when he insisted his brothers wear hair bows. The PT had Benaiah on some exercise equipment and he did great and came out jumping when he was done.The word motor planning disorder has come up and we are watching him with it. It makes sense as he struggles at times with how to use things and Apraxia falls in there too.
After therapy, we had Pizza. We had lots of time to waste before the pool party. Have I told you how much Benaiah loves Pizza? Our waiter was great and he saved the day when Benaiah melted down cause he could not understand that the pizza had to cook.
Finally, the pool was a hit. Benaiah has always loved water and he was getting quite daring with just water wings on. I worked therapy into the pool party. He was able to balance on these lily pad type things and did stairs up to the water slide. He loved the water slides.
