Mirror Mirror on the Wall

My Bookie is a real handy man. Today we went to Bauhaus (similar to the Home Depot) and got a huge mirror for Vincent. Not that my boy is vain, but Sophie, his therapist told me about the wonders a mirror can do for his development. By looking at himself in the mirror he gets distracted and forgets to think that what he is working on is hard or that he is tired - to a certain point of course - and he keeps playing while looking at himself. So Bookie mounted it on the wall in the living room as soon as we came home. And Vincent absolutely loves it! He was laying there playing and talking for quite some time! He was babbling on and running in the air with his little legs. Being as cute as can be.

In Vincent’s therapy we are working on teaching him how to grab things when he is on his tummy and on learning to sit. To this point he could care less at grabbing things with his hands, but he has gotten pretty far with the sitting part. I am really proud of him. The mirror should be really useful for this too. I will keep you posted
