In addition to everything else, Trinity is working on getting into the crawling position. She is NOT a fan of this, but we have found that if we distract her with a toy then she does pretty good...
Fussing a little bit while getting into position! She wants to roll over to her back..:)
In position!! (Cody uses his back legs to hold Trinity's legs in place in the kneeling/crawl position, then puts her hands out to support her. She will almost always keep her hands in place herself, but likes to throw her legs flat. Him supporting her legs helps her not do that and hold really well.)
Finding the distraction....
LOOK!! She is holding it!
This ball is called a peanut, it is the same as last week, just helping her work on her core balance and strength.
Rolling back...
Rolling front....see how straight she is sitting..:) GOOD JOB Princess!
The Peanut ball ,as we call it because of it's shape, is a great tool. however they are expensive. A great inexpensive alternative is just a regular round ball. It helps if the ball is bigger than the child so that their feet don't touch the ground, but anything you can get them to sit on to roll around where they have to use their stomach muscles to help catch themselves is perfect!
Today was a PT Workout kind of day...
