Bean Bags

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody,

I just e-mailed Kristy about this but I thought I would ask all of you

since many of your children are older than Vinny (11 months on the

9th) I'm looking for bean/sand bags for Vinny to play with. We've

been having problems with transfering from one hand to the other but

when he was at his OT evaluatiion he picked up the bags(that were very

heavy) and transfered them from one hand to the other with no problem

(making me look like a liar). The therapist thought because it was

heavy he was able to do it because of his low muscle tone(which I still

don't get, the kid is stronger that his 5 yr old brother)some how he

realized the toy was in his had. They say that if a toy is light it

doesn't regester that their holding it, which baffles me because he

plys with toys all the time. Do you have and suggestions for me? By

the way, I don't want to make them, I don't have the time or the

patience!

On another note, while he was at this OT evaluation the therapist told

me that she thought he would have a lifetime problem of not being able

to let go of things on que. She said that it would not register in his

brain fast enough and he was going to be delayed. Let me just say that

this woman was very assertive with my baby and there were a few times

that I wanted to lunge(I hope I spelled that right) because she was

being so rough with Vinny, she even left a few red marks on him.

Through the past 10 months I've notice that everything that these

idiots have said about my son has been VERY false so I was wondering if

anybody has every heard of the diagnosis.
