Christmas Tree Exercises

The physical therapist wanted her to practice reaching for things, and so we decorated the tree some today for exercising.

I made you all a video of it.  I thought you might like to see how Mommy is doing and how I am tricking her into doing her exercising.  I'm pretty proud of me - plus, as David noted, "We're getting the tree decorated too."

  1. I watched the video on Facebook. You have an amazing amount of patience and decorating the tree was a wonderful idea! You might be able to do that a few times and I was thinking another way you might be able to keep her reaching and stretching might be to decorate and redecorate her room (move stuff like knick knacks and maybe pictures around). You could take several things down from walls or shelves and then have her hand them to you to put them back in different places. Just a thought.

  2. Redecorating the room is an awesome idea! I will do that. Plus, that way she can have some input into what is where :-)

    I'm going to have her help decorate the little trees in the living room in a few minutes here. She really enjoyed it - and I hope that she'll like it again tonight. She's so changeable.
