Eden is learning so much! Whenever AEA comes to work with her I learn new ways to help her learn and figure things out. She is always exploring but it's different the way she does it and rarely figures out how to use a toy without being shown first. We have been working with her on this toy and she is only recently fully understanding it. She has known for a while that when she pushes down the blue lever the ball comes out but she couldn't figure out how to reload it. Then when she figured out she had to put the ball back in the top she would try to just throw the ball at the opening and most of the time it wouldn't make it in. Now she is able to place the ball into the opening on top and do the complete reload/unload cycle. She is doing this same way of learning with other things. I think it is just amazing to watch her learn things. She just has to be taught a couple of times and she gets it most of the time. For someone who doesn't have a corpus callossum, learning won't come easy, but I am thankful for these little teaching moments! There is still one thing she is going to learn about this toy and that is the yellow dial. She isn't grasping the turning of things yet, so this toy will be teaching her for some days to come!!
I think this photo is great! She is really starting to like the bath and is learning that water isn't something to be so afraid of! She splashes like this from the moment she gets in to the moment I get her out! It has earned her her own bath time so the girls aren't constantly being splashed. Plus, it gives her some time to have a big tub all to herself to enjoy it!!
