Here's another picture of Natalie I didn't share in the hustle of Christmas time...it's more of a brag post, really. It's been very challenging for Natalie to draw or color because she lacks coordination in her fingers and hands, and she has a hard time pushing down hard enough to make a mark with anything besides a marker. She actually does pretty well for Christina, her OT, but neither her teachers nor I can replicate that performance at school or home.
Until now...
I was so proud to see her coloring this picture with crayons. There's so much more coverage on the page than I've ever seen her do: usually there are 3-4 scribble lines and then she quits. I was so excited I forgot to correct her holding of the crayon...she always grabs a writing implement with a fist, but will hold it properly if we place it in her fingers for her.
Go Natalie!

Way to go Natalie! Coloring is so hard! (that's what Logan tells me)..however he has really improved since last year though from what his teachers tell me~ we can't seen to replicate the coloring at home either..
