So, Bob has a new trick
Bob started being more aware and trying to help do things about a month ago. Like helping pull up his pants. So around the beginning of this week, I noticed he sent down to about 12" from the ground and pulled up his side. I was like WOOO HOOooOoOOoOOo! Do you realize what you just did?!?! You reached all the way down and helped pull up! So, I've added a new exercise to his balance exercises, to help develope this new ability. I put a kleenex box on the groun, end up. Then while lightly holding his gate belt in front & back (not supporting, just there incase he starts to tip) - he bends down to pick it up. The 2nd time I did it, I moved it from right under his right hand dropping to a little more in front of him. Will develope that more central very slowly, as he will need to get stronger balance going with his hand to the middle or he could flip over... so baby steps. I tried a few with the box on it's side, but he couldn't reach it.... yet
