Not too much to report this week. Therapy went well. In speech, Zena is working on getting Emmett to use description words while he plays. He needs a lot of prompting, but he is trying.
Teanna (I just realized this week that I've been spelling her name wrong) worked with Emmett on the therapy swing for awhile. She tried to get him to go into one that was bowl-shaped, but he was too afraid. She also worked on puzzles with him, which he does not like. He gets very frustrated and wants to stop. He also does not like having to take the pieces apart and put them away. Not sure why this bothers him so much, although Teanna said that is normal behavior. The other thing Emmett got to do was play with different textures. He played in a rice bin and then with putty. He was hesitant with the rice, but seemed to be okay with it. But he loved the putty. He was sticking beads in it and pulling it apart.
Emmett's birthday was on Friday and it was a great day for him. The only time he got upset was when he had to stop playing with his new toys and head to bed. I think he would have stayed up all night playing with his new gifts. He is very grateful for them. :)
