Writing

Abby has really been into writing thank you cards and cards for any type of occassion. She enjoys writing all the letters except she has a hard time with S and G. She generally asks me to write those letters for her but the other day she said she wanted to learn how to write them. I printed off some tracing worksheets from the internet and she spent about 10 minutes tracing G's and S's. It was fun to watch her concentrate so intensely and was interesting to see how tired she got. She tends to have weak hand/finger muscles, which she works on with her OT. This was the first time that I could really see that the weakness in her fingers was not allowing her to do exactly what she wanted to do. Her OT sent home some hand exercises for her to do each day and we will see if they help.
