week 31.

Emmett did really well at therapy this week! Unfortunately, there were two speech therapists out and there was another patient who needed Zena's services, so Emmett did not get to see her. But, a different speech therapist sat in on the OT session and they basically team taught Emmett. At first, Emmett was overwhelmed by all of the eyes on him, but he cooperated nicely. Erin (speech) worked on saying complete sentences the entire hour. Irene did massage with lotion and brushing, then worked mostly on feeding. Emmett did so well and was tolerating a lot! He ate pancakes with syrup, licked a chicken nugget, and touched a green bean. He also ate yogurt with raisins and cheerios mixed in. I was so impressed with my buddy. :) After eating, Emmett played in the rice bin with cars. He gets really excited doing this and has a hard time keeping the rice in the bin.
At home, we are working on eating more with utensils. Emmett is trying really hard and is doing great. He is also walking around singing songs from school. He doesn't like it when we notice he's singing so we try to ignore it, but it is so cute. I love listening to him and knowing that he is learning.
