We talked some about his gross motor skills as assessed with the Bayley III standardized test (done at his neurological appointment Tuesday) and it was interesting to hear her perspective. Job scored 1/10 which is certainly low, but this doesn't measure his progress, only where he is in relation to his typically developing peers. I'm not frustrated or despairing in his progress right now (though I definitely have before!), but it was good to clarify precisely what was measured in that score ("norm-comp" vs chronological skill building).

Swimming in PT!
More firsts! Job got to go swimming with his PT today! I love watching him interact with Miss Kendra. It makes me so happy that he isn't just comfortable with her, but trusts her - especially because she makes him do all sorts of hard things!
