Therapy Sleigh Creation!


Barbara, Retta's occupational therapist is full of great ideas!
She is always coming up with exercises and activities for Retta to do around the house...with pretty much what ever we have laying around the house. She had the idea of putting Retta in a box and moving her across the floor with a rope to work her core!
 
 
Szymon took the idea and created a Christmas Sleigh Ab Machine!
 
 
Complete with candy cane reigns and a piece of old carpet for extra ZOooom!!
The wilder the ride the better!
We practice "GO" ......and......."STOP!"
 
 
Retta attempted to share the sleigh with her boyfriend Burke while he was over for Christmas crafts one Saturday afternoon... but she was more interested in pulling his hair.
....Sorry Burke.
 
Naked and ready to paint!
 
While decorating the Christmas tree I came across the ornament I made with Retta's itty bitty hand on Christmas day last year. (I absolutely could. NOT. believe how small it was)! I had to something to capture her hand print again this Christmas!
 
 
This year's print was much more chubby!
We made nice plump tree branches.
And Yes! ....We wore trash bags for protection!
 
The sleigh has yet to get old!
 
 I am guilty of piling laundry up in the basket (on top of Retta) and taking her and the laundry wherever it needs to go to be folded.
 
Retta thinks it is hilarious!!!
She LOVES to dig for dryer sheets...and then fight Buzi for them!
