Simply Amazing
My little Peanut, my child with DS, had such an amazing day. We, my husband and I, had decided early on in Peanuts life to do anything and everything we could to help her get the best start in life. Having said that, we have therapists coming in and out of our house daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Just when it seems that all the theapy is nothing more then a dialy routine, with little improvements here and there, Peanut surprises us. Like today. We have been working on picking up blocks and putting them into a box, then taking them out again. Peanut go the putting them into the box, following hand over hand instruction, but finally today she did it all , all by herself, with only verbal cueing. Hooray for Peanut!!!

Sounds like little peanut is going into one of those "gets it" phases where everything suddenly clicks. Enjoy.
Naomi, It seems that peanut goes thru stages where she gets fine motos, but lapses back in gross motor and visa versa, that's why every little bit of achievment is so incredibly important . This month it seems to be a tie between gross and fine motor. we have a lot to work on, but small steps...
