Week 2 wrap up: Audrey made huge strides towards crawling this week! She is so very close and I think in a few days she will have it. Her therapist has really broken down the steps of crawling for her which I think is key with Audrey’s motor planning and processing. Moving left arm, right arm, then knee, other knee is what she has been doing with her.
We have 5 full therapy days followed by a post assessment before we head home next Friday. I can’t believe it’s already been 2 weeks here. (On Saturday). So very fortunate for this opportunity. It feels good to know that Audrey has made progress and knowing I have more tools to take home in order to further that progress is worth everything.
The amount of new textures, sounds and toys has been endless here. It’s amazing to see how well she has adapted to it all.
New things Audrey is doing:
*Transitioning to all 4s and starting to rock in the crawl position
*Transitioning to non dominant side to sit up
*Signing “more” much more consistently
*Putting 2 hands down to pull up into tall knees
*Using her right hand as well as her left which is something we have been working on for a year since she favors her left.
*Putting toys “in” appropriately instead of just taking “out”
*Tolerated lots of toys with sounds
New textures:
*Bean bin play
*Shaving cream play
*Playdough play
*Moon sand play
*Prickly balls in bean bin and rubber animals
*Touching soft pop up animal in farm book
*Tried M&Ms
We are continuing to have inconsistent sleep but I think the more she learns, the better it will get. It may be something we struggle with for quite some time though.
Can’t wait to see what she does during week 3!
