This morning the Occupational Therapist worked with Kendal using scissors. Aren't we supposed to keep scissors away from toddlers? Apparently using scissors is a 22-month skill. Are 2 years olds really using scissors to cut stuff? I told Sue (OT) that I wasn't so sure about this new "skill". And getting her to tear pieces of paper - what is all that about? Sue says that it makes her isolate her finger movements and also helps work her wrists. I never really thought about all the different movements that we make actually work so many muscles. It's truly amazing how God created us.
All her therapies are going so well - TEIS (Tennessee Early Invention System) has really been an amazing resource for us. I know that because we acted so quickly, Kendal has made huge strides over a relatively short amount of time.

Yes. Two year olds do use scissors to cut things. Just not the things they're supposed to, lol. Just a warning.
Oh yeah..keep a close eye on her hair LOL Also, coloring and drawing really helps develop those little muscles as well. Just be warned 2yos don't like just paper for their creations either LOL
Kendal is doing really great, Kerrie! You guys are doing a wonderful job:)
