Confetti!

I'm spending a lot of time lately going through old IEP/IFSP paperwork (the goals set by myself, George's teachers & therapists, and the school district), preparing for next year. I came across one from about a year and a half ago. George's Autism therapist gave us all kinds of exercises to do that would help strengthen his hand muscles.

To work on his fine motor skills.

To teach him how to use scissors.

I think he's got that skill down pat. Luckily his gross motor skills are doing great, he can help me run the vacuum this afternoon.
