Physical therapy went soooo well this morning! Over the weekend we
got Addy a little step stool to use for a bench to sit on. (Toddler
sized chairs have legs that are too long for her petite legs, but the
little stool is just the right size for her to sit on and have her feet
resting on the floor.) For this morning's exercise routine, the
therapist had the stool in front of the sofa with a couple of toys just
out of reach on the sofa seat. Addy sat on her stool and pulled herself
up to standing to grab her toys and then sat back down on the stool for
a few seconds (actually she kept going for a small paperback book that I
have sacrificed for the greater good of her entertainment/motivation).
Then the book went back up on the sofa and Addy stood back up to grab
it and sat back down again to read it. She did about ten "ups" before
the therapist cut her off to keep her from having sore legs!
Addy also had a pretty good report this morning from play
group--second week in a row for that. She likes story and songs time,
and had some snack, but doesn't care for sitting in the swing during
outside time. Apparently she even talked to the volunteers quite a bit
this morning (so much so that they commented on it at pick-up time). Now, if only I could convince her that the nursery at church is just like play group, only without the swings...
