When I arrived today, Brittany was there and was getting ready to
start Tony’s OT session. During Tony’s OT session, I was planning on
cleaning up the living room but when she was taking him into his room
he grabbed my hand and wanted me to come in for the session as well.
I told Tony I had to go to the restroom and would come in as soon as I
was done. He did not want to go in without me, but was fine with it
once Marlaina joined him.
This was the first OT session I have sat in with Tony. So it was good
because I got to see the things Brittany was working on with him.
First, she handed Tony a board and told him to pick a color and place
the token in the slots on the board. He had no problem completing
this task and seemed to enjoy seeing the tokens slide into place.
After Tony completed this, she started to work with him on using
scissors. They found a page in a magazine that had a picture of
water and then proceeded to find pictures of fish to cut out and glue
on top of the water. Tony seemed to have a little trouble working the
scissors but liked the part where he got to glue and pat the fish onto
the picture. After this Brittany was working with Tony on drawing
things on a a piece of paper. She was trying to get him to pick a
color crayon and then draw a circle like hers. We all know Tony LOVES
his crayons and could not pick just one, but wanted the whole box.
This led to him becoming extremely upset and having to end OT early.
After Brittany left, Marlaina took Tony upstairs for a nap. This did
not last too long since he never ended up falling asleep and ended up
coming back downstairs. The rest of the afternoon Tony and I played
with the people and went outside to play in the bus. While we were in
the bus, Tony rolled down all the windows (which he does by himself
very well!) and sang out them. He did have trouble rolling them back
up and even tried to put turtles hand there once to see if that would
help. When he was ready to leave the bus he got up to the front
quickly and was trying to get out without me. I put my arm around him
to help him out and he bumped his head on the side of the bus. Even
though he didn’t hit his head hard, he was quite upset after this but
was comforted as soon as he saw his mom. Once we were back in side it
was quite evident that he was very sleepy and ready to go night night.
So Anton took him upstairs to go to sleep.
