We went to my kid’s first physical therapy appointment this morning. There doesn’t seem to be anything severely wrong; he’s just simply not very motivated to practice balancing on his own.
The physical therapist put this interesting toy in front of Otto (not his real name). It’s like a VTech/Fisher Price piggy bank that chirps numbers at you when you put big plastic coins inside him.
It seems Otto needs a lot of distraction when practicing standing, getting otherwise uncomfortable. I’m not panicking yet – maybe I’ll never panic, what use would that be – but we’re going to get lower furniture for him and practice pointing his toes inward.
