my fancy new suit

My OT and PT went to a training this weekend and came back with this special suit that provides special support and pressure for children with low muscle tone. So they were quite excited to try it with me. Some kiddos respond right away with a noticeable difference...others have a more subtle response. I was in the latter category. But that's ok, we are going to try again at our next session and then decide if we need to invest in this device.

Mom was joking with my therapists that this suit was simply an effort to even the playing field. She said that other parents were probably saying we need to lower the "cute" factor of Mighty Maxwell, so let's come up with this silly suit for him to wear. They thought Mommy's idea was pretty funny! :)


And guess what, I am just as cute as ever in my fancy new suit!





So here I am getting manhandled by Jill and Eileen. Just kidding ladies...I love ya! :)

The suit needs to be really tight to provide the right support.










What do you all think? Lower my cute factor? No way!


















I immediately crawled over to my favorite table and showed Eileen my new cruising skills! I love, love, love to move!


I did seem to have slightly more problems with moving from various positions with this suit, BUT I engaged in lots and lots of really good squatting. Very impressive!
