In and Out

James can be a stubborn little muffin.  So, when I see that he is enjoying some PT-ish play I try (however successfully) to cultivate it.  This morning he wanted to play with his dinosaur toy that bounces balls around the room.  For the first time, he was interested in what was inside.  So, we worked on putting the balls back in and I think he began to understand the concept.  The fine motor aspect of holding the small ball with one hand is still difficult, so it is hard to tell, but I think the positive encouragement helps (that seems to be the ticket).

We also worked on "in" as he got a ride sitting in a box.  Thanks for that idea, Daddy!

As you can see, he liked the freedom of being shirt-less.

With love.
