climbing!!!

Jack has been making great strides in therapy and working with mommy. He has been learning to climb. He wasn't very interested in it at first but once we found a spot where he was truly motivated he picked up on it fast. We started by putting his steps at the end of our bed and letting him climb up. He loves to play on the bed and was excited to try to get up there himself. Then, on Saturday, I was cooking in the kitchen and Jack climbed up the steps into our arm chair to be able to watch me. He is doing so well! In this video we are working during OT with both the steps and a wedge. We even had a little game of peek-a-boo! I couldn't get the video to turn the right way on screen but it doesn't seem too bad. Way to go Jack!!!

Awsome Job Jack!!
I always thought about kids with special needs who do not have stairs in their house, how would they learn to climb them, that is a great idea you all have there.We have stairs and Eva is going up them all the time. But if we still had our home we didnt have stairs so that is great.
Keep it up Jack!!
Hugs,
Crystal and Eva
