B was a blast. He is so optimistic and so cheerful and gets so excited about everything that we did. I was perplexed as to what to do with him because his mom asked him not to get out of the wheelchair because he has recently had hip surgery. I was planning on having him get out of is wheelchair and see if he could play with the fine motor skills objects and see how well he could stand (if at all) and how well he could move his body in general but we were not able to do that very much. So I was challenged to find things to do but honestly B just feeds off excitement from anyone. If I sounded excited about an activity he would get excited. If he sounded excited about an activity and I got excited about it, his excitement would multiply. He was super friendly and outgoing and excited to show me what he was capable of doing in his wheelchair. His mom was super fun and friendly but his dad was a tad on the grumpy side. So I feel a bit of pressure from his dad.
The pool was awesome... B was FEARLESS, maybe a little too much. He had a hard time following directions in the pool, he just wanted to do his own thing so getting him to focus on skill development will be my other challenge.
Overall the night was great. I LOVE B. He is super adorable and I really enjoyed meeting him and getting to know him. It will be interesting to see what we can work on together.
