Today started out with Tony being completely out of sorts due to the fact that he had eaten something containing gluten. He was super hyper, anxious and seemed irritable. Marlaina took him upstairs for a nap and he slept for a few hours. I was actually going to leave since I waited around for a little over 2 hours…but I was really glad that I stayed because Tony did some really cool stuff after he woke up. We warmed into playtime playing with the “big ball” as I rolled him back and forth on it for awhile. He watched the Wiggles, had a sandwich, and then he decided he wanted Marlaina to play his wooden recorder. She blew into it and Tony reacted with a giggle and then he tried to blow. With this in mind I asked Marlaina for bubbles to work on blowing. I started blowing the bubbles in front of him and before I could even say the word Tony had volunteered the word “bu-bble”!!! How cool is that!? It was even cooler because both Anton and Marlaina were there! I repeated blowing the bubbles and Tony repeated the phrase several times. Totally worth staying for, right? Tony continued to work well in therapy as we started playing with the shape sorter Megan brought (great idea by the way). He really concentrated on getting the shapes to fit and did a couple on his own. Tony even began sticking his hand into the bin to retrieve the pieces.I think Tony had an awesome day in therapy…I think being well rested has a lot to do with it.
