week 24.

Another successful week for Emmett. Zena is still on vacation so he saw a different speech therapist, named Erin. Zena requested her for this week and she was awesome. Emmett felt really comfortable with her and cooperated the entire session. They mostly worked on using full sentences with verbs and proper nouns. 

OT went well too. Teanna was able to get Emmett to try out a new therapy swing. He hasn't liked this in the past, but this week he was tolerating it. Swings are hard for him because of his proprioception challenges. We have also been working on swinging at the playground and have been able to get him to swing three different times. Emmett also tried playing in a bounce house, which is similar to a trampoline. He has been afraid of these, but tolerated it for a few minutes laying down. Ethnie tried to get him to stand up and jump, but that was to scary for him. 

Emmett also stared preschool this week! I was so nervous about this. He seemed excited to go, but did not want us to leave. We stayed with him during breakfast and while he walked to his classroom. His teachers said he did really well for his first day. He has gone twice so far and both days went great. Therapy will still be on Wednesdays, but in the afternoon instead.
