GRATITUDE: Jasper’s first OT session went so much better than both he or I expected! Playing the floor is lava in the sensory gym and having an OT that knows about Dungeons & Dragons was such a huge win and a major relief. Grateful Jasper and I had lunch
FOCUS: Today I predict is going to solely revolve around giving the kids everything they need to build up awareness and independence skills. Jasper has his OT appt, then D&D at the Rec center. Remember to tell him how great a job he did pivoting when Nikolas and Varun didn’t show up and he had to walk to the Rec center alone, wait for Henry alone, not panic when Henry didn’t show up but really was just inside the lobby area instead, also for his walk from Rec Center to Burlingame Ave and meeting us along the way. Fostering the library study room dates for Juniper, Violet, and Lena. Tell Juniper how much of a leader she is and can be, how impressive they got so much work done with if just the short hour of time! This week I’ve constantly had on my mind different ways to build connections with my kids. Overall, this experiment has worked…but I’m so incredibly tired trying to remain in the moment with each of them.
