Today the kids, Rob & me sat down & had fun with paint. I got all the paint together and set it out nicely on the table. Then I got the pasta Meredith wanted to use to make daddy a necklace and she got to work. And of course no day is complete without Sean partaking in the festivities. So he painted too.
Today was my first lesson in why younger siblings get to do everything younger than their older brothers & sisters. We just couldn't leave him out. It was lots of fun and a big mess. Nothing better than that right?
It also felt good. We spend so much time making sure Sean does enough of his exercises and making sure Meredith eats. It's nice to just spend some time having fun.
I'm heading to the dr and Rob will be here with Sean for his speech therapy today. So I started dinner already. We're having spaghetti with meatballs. Sean was right there to help.
See how nicely he's sitting in his seat? That's no accident! He's doing amazing things these days. I am so excited to see such quick progress from the physical & occupational therapies. I'm still feeling out the occupational therapist. So far she seems nice & we seem to work well together. Hopefully it will only get better. Sean always gives her funny looks that he doesn't give his other therapists. He throws lots of side eye her way. Hmmmmmmm
And in other news..... if you take your pants off in the house and Meredith happens to see you do it, she will immediately tell you "don't pee on the floor." I guess I have reminded her of this a few times. So this is now a daily reminder from her to me. And thank goodness no? How many times would I have peed on the floor if she hadn't reminded me?
Looks like fun! I often think about the things kids in institutions miss out on when you think about activities such as cooking and painting.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of paint did you use?
I hope you feel better, it is awful feeling tired!
Thanks. I always wonder about that too. :( We use the crayola paints. Everything from them is non-toxic.
ReplyDeleteOOOH fun does Sean keep his fingers out of his mouth yet? I really want to let Austin paint but everything goes straight to the mouth. Maybe I should let him paint with pureed peas. LOL
ReplyDeleteEverything goes right in his mouth, but he had fun and I couldn't just leave him out. Ya know? Definitely let him explore his foods to use them as paint. Sean loves that!
