I usually like to just hang with Pip and do our own thing while I’m there, but every once in a while it’s nice to sit in on PT, OT or speech.
A few weeks ago, Pip and I went over to the therapy village for OT and we got to do puzzles, legos and put big wooden beads on and off of a little rope. I love therapists. It’s such a wonderful career. Their whole objective is to create a quality of life, and it really works. Piper can walk and play and climb and do things she wouldn’t have had the muscle development or understanding to do otherwise.
Anyway, here are a few pictures of our little OT sesh.
She kept watching the other kids in the village and not paying attention to her own projects. Funny girl!
When we got back to the room, we picked out a book to read.
When will I stop gasping at how big she is?
I have a cousin who is in school to be an OT. Her levels of kindness and determination astound me. Piper is so lucky to be in such good company!
Also, love the Pippy braids!
I just gasped at how big she is too….her standing there in her big girl jeans just made my head spin. When did your little baby turn into a big girl??
For reals! She is growing so fast! Cute little Piper. I’m still sad I didn’t get to visit her. Next time!
i was just going to say, look at her! look how big she is! i don’t think you ever will. i love it.
piper standing up so straight in those cute braids and moccs reading that poignant little book makes me get a little emotional! i’m so glad she has such a great team working with her (and you)!
I love her. That last picture is freaking adorable… She really is such a big girl!
she seems like a sweet little baby..well, big girl
Can Piper talk? Or is the speech class helping her learn to talk/pronunciate things?
She looks super grown up in that last photo!
Look at those darling braids and that sassy pose in the last picture! You are so blessed to have her and such a great medical team. Thank you for sharing with us once again.
She is soooooo beautiful!
it’s nice to be appreciated as a therapist, especially with little ones like Piper. A lot of parents seem to think we are “just playing” or that it is something they could easily do and that it’s not worth the cost. Thanks for the love, we appreciate hearing it!
Dressing your babies in blue jeans always make them look at least a year older, i think!
Love it!
I’ve been reading you blog since a few years back when I googled “toga costumes” and came across a picture of baby Piper in her toga. I seriously died and fell in love. I can’t believe how big she’s gotten!! She’s the cutest!
yay, OT power! i’m a pediatric OT and it’s the best job around… i love my kids to pieces and can’t imagine life without them!
Before I read your caption I was thinking the same thing! When did Pip turn into a big girl?!
Love the jeans and french braids. That Pip is one Hip Chick!
I love your blob! Piper has grown so much… Please forgive me but I am uncertain: Piper is doing so well, is there any way she can ever leave the hospital to come live at home? I just see how far she has come, and just think it would be wonderful…
Oh she is big and beautiful! I am so thrilled for you guys at how big, healthy, and perfect she is!
What a good little piper!
