OT day again!

We had a busy day yesterday.

After the boys were off to school and breakfast was eaten, off we went to the gym.  Iz went to kid gym and W went to his parent-child swim lesson.  Only one other parent-child set showed up and they left early so W got lots of extra attention from the instructor.  We stayed an extra fifteen minutes because the kids for the next class were late.  Once they showed up, though, W and I headed out--even though it was an open swim time in the pool and we could have stayed, if his instructor is teaching a class, he thinks he should be right there, too :p

Iz had fun in the kid gym and when we picked her up she was sitting with another little girl looking at books together :)

Home for lunch then off to collect the Busy Little B from school so he could go to OT.  B got extra prizes in OT because he spotted a pair of nail clippers and voluntarily clipped one of his nails!  This may seem like no big deal but B is extremely tactile defensive in many areas and one of the worst is his nails.  Kid's brain processes the sensations of clipping as extreme pain and one of the things he has been working on in OT (unsuccessfully up until this point, I might add) is desensitizing his fingertips so nail grooming can happen.  It was a HUGE moment for him :)

After that we headed home to wait for the Super Kid and then took him straight back to the rehab center we had just left so he could have OT :p  He has always had really low strength in his hands and this has made things like tying shoes and writing rather painful as his hands tire quickly.  His handwriting has improved to the point where its actually quite nice when he starts out but as his hands begin to hurt, his writing is barely legible.  He's done OT in the past to help improve hand strength but they are working on it again.
