Fill in the blank and walking

Megan has mastered the "fill in the blank" game.  I can sing something to her and then the next time leave off the last word and she will fill in the blank.  She doesn't always do the correct sound but she tries.  I will sing "baa, baa, baa, b" and then the next time leave off the b and she will do it for me.  Or sometimes she throws in a different sound, but the good news is that she has the concept down.  This is a good step in the direction of mimicking new sounds.

On Tuesday when I picked Megan up from school she was a walking, walking, walking girl.  She walked out the door of her classroom a few steps, turned around and went back in 3 times.  When I finally got her going the right direction she walked all the way to the front door of the building which is at least 250 feet of walking.  I am sure she walked closer to 300 feet because she kept turning around and going back the other direction.  She would go up to doors and knock, she pushed the button on the water fountain, she played ring around the pole.  It was crazy and fun to watch.

She has gotten very good at holding onto something, squatting down, picking up something and standing back up.  Yesterday she held onto her therapist hand and walked around the arena picking up Easter eggs with Sam after her horse riding session was over.  She did great, even on the uneven dirt.
