Therapy

Nicholas has set a new record for himself in his stander.  He stood in it on Wednesday for 39 minutes!  While he is standing, one of us keeps trading out toys on the tray where he doesn't get bored.  Also, we have started letting him watch Netflix and youtube on the laptop.  We have to put a blanket over the keyboard because he likes to hit all the keys.

Nicholas' PT, Casey brought in something new this week for him to use.  It is a bench.  She puts Nicholas on his knees in front of it and of course he plays with his toys on the bench.  The bench helps to prepare him for crawling by placing the majority of his bodyweight on his knees.  Everytime she puts him in the crawling position, he gets VERY angry!  He hates it.  The bench is being used as an aid to help to get him to crawl.  He seems to be getting closer too.  When he is on the floor playing, he scoots to reach for his toys.
