Joshua is sitting in a tumble form chair. He is waiting for his speech therapist, Angela, to set up his toggle switch. That is a switch that is placed near his head, kind of like a joystick. The switch is connected to a toy, when Joshua hits the switch with his head, the toy turns on and stays on as long as he keeps his head touching the switch. When he releases, the toy turns off. We are hoping this will allow Joshua to "play" by himself and maybe even do some basic communicating one day! His favorite toy is the bells.

Joshua had 2 therapy sessions today. We had a few minutes between sessions, so Joshua and I got into the ball pit together. Joshua is coming up with a plan to hide from his Physical therapist, Denise.

Joshua and I came up with the perfect plan. I hid him in the balls...Joshua found this funny!

Well, as you can see, Denise found Joshua and he had to follow through with his therapy session. He is working on an exercise ball which helps with trunk and head control, and here they are working on stretching his side muscles. Joshua was a real trooper today. He handled both sessions very nicely, and managed to stay happy the whole time!
