11/16
We loved Camp Hippo so much! It was an equine riding program as well as normal PT, OT and speech, but Grace didn't get to ride the horses. Darn! Anyways, she went a total of 9 Wednesdays, and they were three hour sessions. She absolutely LOVED going, and was always so excited! She did very well throughout the entire three hours, and would crash right when she got in her car seat for the 1/2 hour ride home! It was so sweet to watch her work with her therapists. I really wish they were closer to Rexburg so we could continue receiving services, but sadly, they were in the opposite direction.
I was so happy to see that the Hippo, their mascot, was showing for Grace to take a picture on! It had been covered the entire time we went there because of construction, but it just so happened that he was uncovered on our last day.
Oh the swing!!! She LOVES LOVES LOVES this swing!! Right when she realized where we were going each Wednesday, that's all I heard, "swing?" "Wee?" Silly girl!
Here is Grace with her PT working on the trike. There was only one time that she actually pushed her foot down on the pedal to make herself go. The rest of the time, it was Flynn pushing her legs. But she did GREAT keeping her feet ON the pedals after he put a wedge behind her back to get her closer to the pedals.
Shaving cream fun with the speech therapist. This is to work on writing letters, but she's way too young for that, so for Grace, it was more about the fun!!! SHE LOVES SHAVING CREAM!!
This is Grace's speech therapist, whom she adored!! She is wearing a vest to help her with deep pressure, so she can be more relaxed during therapy. She was REALLY everywhere all the time, and the vest really helped. Here they are working on imitating. The therapist would say the noise the dog makes (from the book) and Grace would imitate. This is wonderful because it gets her used to making more noises than she normally does. She also learned to "feel" the letters that are coming out of her mouth, like with "p" you get a puff of air, or "s" gets a feel as well. Wonderful therapist!!
And Grace just had to show off in the tub after a long day of therapy!! What a cheekie girly!
What a sweetie!
