Mommy and Me

Today was another FUN Mommy and Me class!  We really enjoy Mommy and Me class, not only are they a lot of fun, but the kids get the interaction together and so do the parents.  As is typical with our class, we had our 30 minutes of music at the end.  Some people don't think that kids really get this portion, but in our classes experience they do.  It is a very important part of their therapy.  Trinity loves to bounce and shake to the music and before she could move a lot she would really perk up when it came on.

Here she is with one of the types of shakers we play with, she spends 1/2 the time shaking it and the other 1/2 eating it!

Our friends and Mommies in the background shaking!

Some like to get up and DANCE!

While others are content to shake where they are....

Miss Cynthia brought out some new "shakers" for us.  These really help with sensory because the kids like the bright colors.  If you don't have the skills to make something this fancy it is easy enough with a hair scrunchy, or even a piece of ribbon tied in a circle, with other ribbons tied to it to make streamers.

The bells were new to us today too...AGAIN Trinity spent 1/2 the time eating them! So this one is not only good for the sensory portion, but also for arm strength. This many bells on a band are a good work out when you get to shaking them, especially for those with low muscle tone. SHAKE IT TRINITY!!

  (HINT HINT Grandma: We would love a strap with bells or a band with ribbons for our next birthday or gift giving opportunity!)


Today was a great Mommy and Me kind of day...
