Up a Ladder
While Alice was busy stealing koosh balls, Porter was working on climbing a ladder. He got pretty good at it over time, but Theresa kept making it more challanging by varying the amount of tension she put on the bottom of the ladder to hold it in place. The less tension, the harder it was to climb.

Having a little trouble half way up.
Starting again from the bottom.
Stuck again, mid-way to the top.
Once he reached the top, Porter would climb into the lycra swing.
Later in Porter’s O.T. session he also spent some time swinging on the trapeze again. You can either download the movie to your desktop or just click on the link to play it in your web browser (assuming your web browser has the quicktime plug-in installed).
At Porter’s O.T. there is a laundry basket literally filled with kooshes of varying sizes. Naturally, Alice’s cat burglar tendencies kicked in and she started making off with as many as she could carry.
For a long tim, Alice was scared of the slide. She’d reluctantly go down one with Sarah or me but she never quite seemed like she was enjoying herself very much. But lately that’s all changed. At Porter’s Montessori, she happily climbs the steps that lead to the slide. And once there, she now gleefully comes down the slide without a moment’s hesitation.
