Another Lap Pad completed and other news...

I finished up the lap pad that I was working on today.  The picture below was taken while I was still working on it so it does not show the whole length, but I think you get the idea.

I also wanted to show you another use for the weighted blanket.  "N" shutdown during lunch, so Ms. "E" his BI draped his blanket over his shoulders.  He started coming back around and was back to his old self by the end of lunch.  Again we aren't sure what triggered his shutdown, but just wanted to show you another use for the blanket.

Our Life Today

Today started out well until "N's" therapy session.  Then he shutdown immediately and for a long period.  We haven't seen one of these "little" episodes in awhile.  He responds so well to his Ms. "E" that even she was surprised.  She ran up and got his "heavy" blanket and wrapped him up like a burrito.

After about 15 minutes of heavy blanket therapy, we finally got him to do his visual chart and say the words "potty time"although it was barely above a whisper and fairly unintelligible.  During potty time, I gave him some story prompts to talk to Ms. "E" about when he was finished.  He walked out and started talking.  The more he talked, the more he came back to himself.  Not sure what triggered this shutdown since it was in the middle of lunch, but really glad we are done with it for now.

This is what I am working on currently.  It is a heavy blanket for a friend of ours.  I am really behind on this project so I am trying very hard to get it finished for him.  So on that note.... Ciao Ciao Brown Cow!
