Our Week

Therapy update:

Quintin has made some real progress with his eating. He still has a ways to go, but he really has come a long way! Dinners continue to be the biggest battle. His ST is still not 100% sure as to what is making it difficult, but she has given me a great deal of support and direction! Here is Q enjoying a baked cheese omelet, sausage, and pears. I am so proud of him & hopeful that his progress will continue:-)

One thing that Q uses in therapy is a weighted vest. It helps give him deep pressure or input. Of course they charge you a small fortune to purchase one. My crafty mother made one for Q. I still need to get some weights for it, but for now we continue to use the OT's weights. She even found really cute police fabric so Q can wear his vest just like daddy:-) Thanks Mom!!!!! (AKA Me-Ma) Here are a few pics of Q in his vest. For now he has to wear it inside out and backwards so he can't get it off or take the weights out of the pockets.



This morning Q was lucky enough to spend some time with my sister and the twins while I went to work. While they were at Toys R Us, Q spotted the Thomas the Train section. He is officially obsessed with Thomas. He loves his new Thomas lunch bag so much he was kissing it:-) Thanks Stac!!!!



And finally.... we ended our day today with a playdate. Quintin had a great time! They have a HUGE blowup jumpy:-) Thanks Karin for letting us come and play!
