Frankie had his monthly session with his TVI today. She brought some great new toys that he really enjoyed! The first was blocks to string. First she practiced stacking the blocks with Frankie and he stacked about 3, which is a new skill for him! Then she helped him sting them on a string and he worked at that for a while putting them on and taking them off. She introduced some circle and oval stringing beads, as well. It was great for his hand/eye coordination, something he needs to work at a lot because of his vision.
She also brought a pop up book. We had done some already, but he really enjoyed this one because it was about farm animals. He was saying some of the animal noises and really got into exploring each animal. He loves books where he can touch something, touch and feel books are great!
Lastly Frankie got to play with texture toys shaped like cans. They had a texture on one side of the "can" and varieties of bumps on the other. They also were different weights to teach heavy and light. We got to keep them and the stringing blocks, so we will be busy for the next month! In February, Frankie's TVI is going to come to his eye doctor's appointment.
