I took home one very happy boy this afternoon! Someone was so glad to get his cast off. It seemed to itch him much more this time and he did get a big bug bite right where the cast hit his upper arm. So, Griff came home with a goody bag from camp. What does one get from constraint camp? Well, there is a pencil sharpner, 2 pencils, a sucker, plastic coins ( I have to say that this one seemed weird at first, but great for the pincer grasp on the right hand), 3 packs of homemade play-doh (great for squeezing w/ righty), a whistle (might hide this one) and a toothbrush and toothpaste. They sent home an adorable picture of him, a t-shirt he painted , a clay something he made (not sure what it is, but you know mommy is keeping it!), a picture with feathers... This is great because the boy does not like art. Most of his school art has 1 crayon line through it and that is it.
Here he is with his cousin Caroline. You can see where his sisters "signed" his cast.
An ambulance was outside therapy yesterday. He was so excited he could hardly stand it. He ran straight to it!
And, while Griff was at therapy we went and got some cupcakes and had a little picnic between storms.
A big thank you to Vanderbilt Pediatric Therapies. We feel so fortunate to be a part of this study, free of charge! We have the best therapists - Laura and Lindsey! We have had several therapists at VU and they are all awesome, I even taught one of them years ago. The 8+ camp therapists and volunteers are all so wonderful w/ 12 kids at this camp.
