Good school reports!

I picked the Busy Little B up for school so he could go to OT and his teacher was telling me how much progress he's made recently in the social areas of school.  He's participating in small group more, doing partner work, talking to other kids, etc.  That social skills group he's doing through the local rehab center is really helping :) I'm noticing that he is more social and getting along better with other kids in waiting rooms as well.

He had a good OT session and his OT is so proud of him that he's handling things more calmly instead of with meltdowns.  We are still working on this at home ;)  Although he is doing better about talking things through instead of immediately jumping to being upset.  It is a work in progress!

It was also the big kids last night of this swim session so they got their certificates.  We haven't quite mastered all of the level one skills so they'll be repeating level one but they are all getting closer!  I think if the Super Kid really works at it, he could advance to level two soon.  Iz is getting close, too.  I think it will take the Busy Little B longer because he has such trouble coordinating all the different parts of his body (one of the things he works on in OT) but he's doing better each time :)

The Super Kid was finally feeling better yesterday.  He was home from school again because he hadn't hit the 24 hour mark but by late afternoon he was good to go so he went to OT at the rehab center.  He likes OT, likes the different therapists he works with but that anxiety gets to him so he's sometimes hesitant to try things in front of other people and is pretty stoic while there.  His temporary OT Miss S (the same Miss S that first worked with Iz) was teasing him last night that she almost saw him smile when they got him to try out the trapeze swing and he couldn't stop himself from grinning back at her :p  Now that he's tried out some of the swings and liked them, hopefully he'll be open to doing them again because its a great way to get that big motor movement he craves when he's sensory seeking.  I'd love to have a basement or something to set up swings and crash pads or something for my seekers!
