Weekly Update -- 28 December 2009 - 3 January 2010

Yay, I'm 156 weeks old today!

Masinja had a pretty uneventful week. About the only thing to report on is Speech. He is still working on the vocabulary cards, but in addition to verbs, his therapist is trying to introduce pronouns. She is starting out slow by getting Masinja to identify boys and girls. So far he is having a hard time differentiating between the two. Another skill that his therapist is working on is imitation. Masinja has a hard time with this as well. His therapist has been working on gross motor imitation with him from the start but she has also incorporated the use of blocks. She uses two different color blocks and tries to get Masinja to build a tower just like hers. He struggles with this quite a bit but I think it's because he just wants to play with the blocks :o) Every time she builds her tower and asks him to make one just the same he either reaches over and grabs her blocks or tries to stack his blocks on top of hers! It will take some time, but I know he'll get the hang of it eventually. Thank goodness his therapist is very patient :o)

That's all for now.

Peace,
T.M.M.
