Due to Mason's recent heart surgery causing
some delays in his motor development, he and Gabriel are at around
the same developmental level. They've been working on rolling and crawling, in
between lots of sleeping and eating!
Zoey (PT) jumped at the chance to add these
lovely little boys to her therapy timetable- we're so lucky to be able to work
with children of all ages in therapy and change the activities and goals
accordingly.
Both boys are responding really well to the
extra help with moving, and at this rate will be crawling and probably walking
in no time! The other day when I was in the baby room, Mason and Edward were
relaxing together on the floor. Mason
decided to show off some of his new found rolling skills and rolled up to
Edward to give him a pat on the head! Later, when I saw Gabriel in the toddler
room he was trying with all his might to crawl to a rattle a little out of his
reach- it won't be long Gabriel, keep trying!
Its so encouraging to watch these two boys
develop and make progress; to see the benefit that surgery, love and lots of
care has in their lives.
