CHAMP Camp Day 3

Abby planned a ton of cool experiments for Luke, as well as literacy based activities this week. He used the frog in this picture to hit a lily pad target (with sight words). The reading specialist in me was elated!!! And the mama in me was beyond proud of his efforts to "read" this week. 

I loved Abby's flexibility with Luke. She knew his learning style and played to his interests. I can't say enough about her patience and her adaptability. 

Therapy is hard work. And since Luke has been in therapy for so long, he shows signs of being therapatized. He knows the tricks of the trade and attempts to use his smarts to outwit and escape if he can. Abby rolled with it and even came up with activities "on the fly" to keep his attention and divert his attempts at getting out of practice.  I cannot say enough nice things about her. She made therapy fun, meaningful and memorable. 

After Day 3 of CHAMP, we headed across the street and had lunch at Tonic.

Great food and even better company. 

Tomorrow is graduation and although we are ready to get back home to our girl, we are going to miss DC and our friends from camp.
