We decided to stay close to home for spring break this year, and I'm so relieved to get a chance to relax and goof off. I spent the first several days reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" and "The Girl Who Played with Fire," and I can't wait for the third book in the series to be published in May. I've made it to yoga most days and started to do some light running & walking, and it's felt good to do more exercise. Luke did one gymnastics clinic, front and back handsprings, but he's also really wanted time to just lay around the house. Grandma Barbara came for four days to visit, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the boys. The big news really is for Aaron. He had his assessment at Green Hill for continuing occuational therapy. The therapist let us know that he'll qualify and we set up his appointments. We talked about motor planning as a possible additional area of concern, and definitely a source of frustration.The cool thing at Green Hill is that they do therapy for half of the time on horseback, which is supposed to be wonderful for core strength and for increasing proprioceptive awareness. Aaron was so excited by the horses, and really wanted to ride that day. We talked about motor planning as a possible area of concern, and definitely a source of frustration. Grandma Barabara distracted him for a bit with ice cream, but he asked about the horses several times through the day.
