Part of our daily home therapy activity is choosing books that Hendrix wants to read. He loves everything about animals. He also has this fascination over peek-a-boo and flip books. He also loves reading about books with games such as hide-and-seek and tag. I am amazed by his consistency of the sequence of books that we will read for the day, starting from those that he likes best to the least ones. No matter how many books I put in, he always manages to dig through and find his favorites.
This lockdown is tough especially for kids like Hendrix who needs therapies to develop. But when I am anxious, he is the one who consistently reminds me, in his own little ways, that he is okay and that he is moving forward. Progress is progress, no matter how big or small.
