Let's go to the park and enjoy some vestibular input

Addy had both OT and PT yesterday morning. She got good reports from both therapists, and we got a list of what to keep working on: drinking through a straw, more soft-cooked finger foods, and any textures that still tickle the tongue for OT; and straighter ups and increased vestibular inputs (swings, sitting in the grocery cart, rocking on a yoga ball, etc) for PT.

Addy's Easter dress is mostly finished. It needs to be hemmed, the neck needs to be finished, and the bloomers need elastic in the legs. Super fast pattern, even with a slight detour to deal with a flaw in the fabric that I noticed too late in the project. Addy's just getting big enough to start developing her artistic side, so I think some full-coverage vinyl or nylon smocks may need to be my next project.
