Oh Wednesday. That day in the middle of the week that's a little better than Monday, but not quite close enough to Friday.
Today was Littlest's PT assessment....let me just say that I didn't think she needed it, but, we're playing their little reindeer games so we can get her Speech Therapy going again.
Anyway, on with the appointment....she did NOT want to play today. It all started when the PT asked her to 'Stand on one foot and balance." Littlest's shoulders slumped, and her face said it all "This again?"
I am sure the PT and the OT are well meaning women who firmly believe in what they are doing, but I think they are a tad misguided in this case.
My daughter is 6 years old. I do not expect her to have neatly printed, well formed letters. I would never expect her to catch a tennis ball in one hand when it is thrown at her....why would I? 99% of the time I can't.
We did learn today that she has a wicked arm, and decent aim....when the PT asked Littlest to throw the ball at her, and throw it she did. Over-hand even. I may have chuckled inappropriately ( but quietly).
Next week,the first Speech session. Should be interesting. ;)
The PT may be a little more careful what she wished for in the future. . .she has 3 older brothers. . of COURSE she has a strong throw and a practiced aim! (they may outrun her little legs, but not her arm, GO YOU little miss! ) Gotta love the hoops they make you jump through if you land "outside the box". :oS
