Ethan has been doing great. He is still going to therapy and they are working on his aversions. His speech therapist gave us some exercises to do at home. We have to touch certain parts of his face and (I forget the name of them) do "C" shapes around each side of his mouth. Sometimes he likes it and will imitate them but other times he pushes your hands away. That's ok. On the days he is accepting the exercises we try to do a little more and on the days he is not liking it, we will do the minimum and not cause him a lot of stress about it. We are going to buy a new sprinkler today so he can run around in the water. He likes the little kiddie pool too. But the sprinkler will let him get his head and face wet without worring about him dunking under the water. We tried the figer paints yesterday evening and he didn't like getting it on his hands. We will keep working with that. Everyone have a great weekend.
