Our kitchen has proven invaluable in our occupational therapy efforts at home! Levi washes dishes, rolls dough, shapes cookies, peels and chops potatoes, scoops out squash, etc... With the chilly temperatures, a butternut squash soup sounded fantastic today. Always looking for ways to grow Levi, it occurred to me that scraping the squash out would strengthen his fine motor skills. He had to securely hold the bulky squash in one hand while using the other hand to spoon out its contents. Whew! That gooey, stringy mess was hard work for him, but he gave it a good go.
