Bumbo Seat....

Something we found for Hope was a Bumbo Seat. You can find it on line at....www.bumboseat.com. It was a wonderful help at helping Hope learn to sit up. Our Physical Therapist thought it was a good investment for us to make. Here is a picture of Miss Hope sitting in hers.



They now have a tray to use for it but when we had Hope in it, we had went to a discount store and bought a wooden lap tray and that was a wonderful fit. It gave us a place to put Hope's things on it and make her sit up to it.

You can now find them at various chain stores or on line at auctions.

Enjoy

Handwriting without tears...

Above is a picture of some of the pens, pencils and markers that I have bought for my children. I have fun looking for new things out to use. I have golf pencils and they are wonderful because I don't have to break a full sized pencil in half.

I also found this site through someone andI just love it and love their stuff. It is something for any child. When one of our OT's showed us the program, one thing that she had said was that sometimes the kids with different abilities get all the "fun" stuff. It is nice when a program can help any child. I have the books for pre-k to cursive. This is where I learned to break the pencils, crayons and chalk. If you want to look at the program you can find it at Handwriting Without Tears. I think you will enjoy the site and I just love the wooden letters, the magnetic letters and magnetic writing board and the playdough.

Hugs
