They said immediately after being done with the water table she went to the craft table for more than 20 minutes. Because she is confident in her standing her attention span with tasks skyrocketed. Her teachers are thrilled about her walking/standing and incredibly increased time at tasks. She walked all over the school today and she is so stinkin cute that everyone fawned over her, which she loves. On the way home her entire class walked with her. It took quite awhile because she kept stopping to clap for herself. She is having so much fun.
Yesterday was Megan's speech session. I hadn't said anything to her therapist yet but we were seriously considering a change. Well...after yesterday we will be staying put, at least for now. Megan had an amazing session. She made the sounds she was supposed to make, she imitated actions, she was even saying "mmmm" when she wanted music without being prompted to. When the therapist would remove the toy she would say "mmm" immediately to get it back.
After her day with the walker and then the amazing speech session I decided to see if she would feed herself lunch. I tried within the past week to get her to hold her own sandwich and she wouldn't even touch it, but yesterday was a new day. She fed herself the entire thing without throwing food once. She even asked for more when she was finished. She did great with her snack, ate it without throwing and then again at dinner. So on day one of trying again she did all three meals perfectly.
This morning she did knock her bowl of peaches off of her tray but I am not sure she would have had a problem if they hadn't been in a bowl. She fed herself lunch again today. She did throw one piece of food but didn't repeat that behavior.
