Weekly Update -- 6 - 12 April 2009

Yay, I'm 118 weeks old today!

Masinja had his 13th ECI session this week. He's had some improvement since the last session, although he is still mouthing a lot of his toys. T.M. and I need to work with him on choosing certain items that are okay for him to mouth and redirecting him to those items.

Masinja's teacher is going to get a feeding continuum from the feeding specialist, so we can work on his texture aversions. As far as speech is concerned, Masinja is now using color words and his teacher wants us to reinforce that by having him identify which object he wants, i.e. "Do you want the red block or the blue block?" Hopefully by his next session he will be using his color words more frequently.

Masinja celebrated his 2nd Easter today. Since he is still too young for loads of candy, we gave him clothes instead. He also got two sets of drum sticks. I know T.M. and I were probably crazy to willingly give him drum sticks, but he has a set of bongos and a tambourine which he absolutely loves! We figured we might as well start him early since he obviously loves music so much and he bangs on everything anyway. :o)

That's all for now.

Peace,
