Big accomplishment!!!

Av can now button her own shirt!!!!! Even when she is wearing it. I have to admit this is something I have never worked on at home with her. Just not something I think about. The only thing she owns with buttons (shirt wise) down the front is a hideous pair of princess PJ’s that she does love but does not wear them that often. Her OT has been telling me for weeks this is one of the activities they do weekly. Really good fine motor work for her. First it was really big buttons on a shirt on a table. Then they started working on smaller and smaller buttons and putting the shirt on. I’m not sure at therapy though she has ever done it totally by herself. Well she did at home a few nights ago. She got those PJ’s out and did it and came running over to show us what she did “all by myself!!” We were amazed. The buttons were not lined up though and after telling her that she unbuttoned them all by herself and re-did it correctly! It’s really pretty darn amazing. The last couple of nights she has worn those PJ’s and every night she button’s them. She loves practicing it and is so proud of herself. She is too cute.
