Speech keeps going well. Bug is sticking with Kathy for the fall. She wants to bring in another therapist to work with him for a day, to see how well he's generalizing what he's learning (ie, can he still communicate with someone new?)
OT went so fabulously well! Bug pedaled on the tricycle FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!, pushed himself on the scooter, did a scooterboard and rocked it. He also did an alphabet train jigsaw puzzle and by the end was putting the pieces together correctly without assistance. Best of all, NO fussing! Yay!!! Was an amazingly good session. :D
Home stuff has involved lots of the same. We're still working on conquering potty training. We've gotten him to sit for up to 30 seconds at a time, but he still won't go. It seems like he will come back downstairs and wait for us to not pay attention and then pee somewhere. So our next attempt will be leaving the bathroom so he can have some privacy. I forsee lots of peeing on the floor in the bathroom.
Bug has been quite engaged with us with reading, which is always fun. He and Wiggle seem to be undergoing a very developmentally appropriate power struggle: taking books away from me, so I can read a different one, or taking things from each other, or being displeased that the other brother is playing with some noise-making thing. Tiring, but appropriate. I'm hoping that we can start getting them to interact more positively and work on cooperative play with both of them.
That's last week wrapped up. I'm working on overhauling our schedule board and starting to think of ideas/themes to focus on for devoted PRT time with Bug. So busy. As usual.
