So what is Ollie's occupation anyway?

Oliver had his Occupational Therapy (OT) evaluation yesterday. Beth, the Occupational Therapist from the Raleigh CDSA, brought several switch-activated toys for Ollie to try. He loves the "Bouncing Butterfly" plays music and vibrates when he touches the super-sensitive plate switch. Each time he pushes on the switch it starts a new song - Farmer in the Dell, Home on the Range, Do You Know the Muffin Man, etc. He thinks it's sooo much fun! I love watching the smile on his face when he starts it. He's so proud of himself.

Beth was pleased with the "regular" toys that we have for him. We've tried to pick lots of lightweight and easy to activate toys like pinwheels, Oballs, Beanie Babies, helium-filled balloons, etc. She also liked that we had a bean bag for him. (Thank you's to Megan - our PT from Pediatric Therapy Associates - for the suggestion and to Santa for the delivery!)

So we have a few of the "adapted" toys on loan from the CDSA for the next month. Hopefully, we'll also have a feeder seat on loan in the next week or so. It may not work any better than the reclining booster seat we already have, but it's worth trying. Ollie loves his sweet potatoes!
