Boys will be boys

During this weeks OT session Lucas' therapist decided to try something a little different in the beginning and thought a structured activity where Lucas could not crawl away would be good for him.  Especially since this involved him sitting on the swing with her and allowing her to accomplish the intended goals while he thought he was playing.  (Gotta love therapists!)  Since Lucas enjoys being on a swing so much he thought this was one of the best sessions ever. After he spent a good amount of time working on the swing he was able to work on challenging his crawling and working with crayons and markers to make dots and vertical lines. During this session we got to work on our core strengthening, hand-eye coordination, following directions and a boatload of fine motor skills that I didn't even get to capture in photos since I was too busy watching and learning!
