Pumpkin Pancakes
I’m no Molly home maker but every once in a while I try. Especially when I have sick kids who need to start eating again. This was a fun breakfast. The kids love to help cook. I remember Luke’s very first occupational therapist telling me how great it is just to include him in every day activities. Things like; Pushing a laundry basket, sorting clothes, sweeping with a broom, washing kid friendly dishes, letting him help put away groceries, cooking together. She said another good one is letting him spray and wipe off tables. That takes some muscle to push the towel across the surface. Sounds good to me. Just go ahead and clean the whole house Luke! This is the greatest OT idea yet! Really if you think about it, these activities do use huge amounts of coordination, muscle control, and skill. Fine and gross motor skills. Cooking remains the favorite for Luke.
I did manage to get Luke to eat a couple bites, but he is still really trying to fight off this flu. I’ve had a house full of sick kids all month long. This has been awful. Please say a prayer. I hope this is almost over. I’m ready to rip my hair out!
