Our Saturday at Home

The last few days Evan has been fighting a cold. He always seems to get sick around this time of year and when Evan gets sick he doesn't bounce back quickly. This weekend we decided to stay in and take it easy. This morning Evan fell asleep in his bean bag chair watching the Wiggles. This never ever happens it was so cute!


Playing with pots, measuring cups, plastic bags... it kept him entertained for almost an hour!


Last week we took Evan to see a Neurological Ophthalmologist. Evan did great, but was not too happy with getting drops in his eyes. The doctor told us his MRI looked good and so did the structure of Evan's eyes. The doctor explained that we are still not sure exactly how Evan's brain processes what he sees and it could be helpful to do some visual therapy with him. One of the suggestions he had was to add some more black and while contrast.

So, yesterday I decided to made a hanging mobile to go over his crib. I made it from differnt size embroidery hoops covered in black and white fabric. I love how it turned out! And Evan seems to really like it too. 


Some other things we have been doing for visual stimulation have been reading books with black, white, and red images and I've made some flashcards with different black and white shapes to show him. He has been doing really well at tracking these cards.


Looking forward to having friends over tomorrow for a cookout and football to celebrate a good friends birthday. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
