Today Mandy brought a chair for Megan to use to learn how to go from her knees to sitting - unfortunately the chair is a little too high for Megan so she will have to learn to stand up to then sit. Megan was too tired at the end of her session for Mandy to show me what she is supposed to do, so I doubt we will make much progress on that front before next week.
The chair is slightly higher than her music chair - maybe an inch higher, if that. Megan was sitting in her musical chair and kept trying to reach the piano on another toy so I turned the chair around. She immediately tried to stand up, but the music chair plays a song when you leave the seat and it was very distracting. So, I changed chairs so there would be no distractions.
Megan reached up and using her fingertips held onto the piano keys and pulled herself to standing. She then stood there by herself and played with various toys. She did this several times, for several minutes at a time. On two different occasions she was a little "reckless" when standing up (she practically jumped up)and she started to fall over sideways - both times she reached out and grabbed onto a toy and righted herself.
We were so proud of her - she did such a great job and not only did it by herself she instigated it herself.
