Saturday Mornings Aren't For Cartoons Anymore!

So, we thought Marc was going to have an easy, relaxing weekend... Boy, were we wrong. Marc and I had a sleepover last night and our day started earlier than I would have chosen. Marc was awake at 7:30 this morning, so I got up too. I got him some new clothes from the drawer and he complete dressed himself, a marvelous feat! His breakfast came at 8:00, promptly followed by the OT lady at 8:06. I guess breakfast is a little slow on Saturdays. Marc finished his HUGE breakfast and we headed off to OT where he had to "plumb" some PVC pipes and then put some nuts on bolts. He was also given a menu from a diner and has to figure out some money questions. We returned to his room and decided to play a game. So we ventured down to the dining hall and picked out Yahtzee, not the easiest game, but good for Marc to practice his addition (a little OT session with me). After that we rested and watched Pleasantville until 10am when the speech/language lady came. There he worked on following written directions (needing VERY minimal assistance) and then listening comprehension. This proved to be a little more challenging but he found that with taking notes, he could answer her questions. We went straight to PT from there where Marc practiced some balancing on a squishy platform and catching a ball at the same time. He did well with this activity but it tired him out pretty quickly. Mom and Dad showed up at the very end of PT. We came back to Marc's room where he and mom played a card game, as dad read a magazine, and I blogged this little morning recap. Marc is pretty tired and has now laid down for a little rest before lunch comes and visitors start arriving.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading our "daily" blog. Keep checking back for updates from the fam!

Love, Amanda
