Pedaling a trike with contact guard to stand by assist for a distance of 10-15' to work on lower extremity strength. Stand on either leg 3-5 seconds without loosing balance. Bunny hopping, clearing both feet together at the same time, of the ground 2-3 times.

• Using signs or words, Kinnick will receptively or expressively answer a variety of simple wh- (what, who, where, how) questions, during 4/5 opportunities with a variety of educators. Questions may include (What is _____? How does she feel?)

• Kinnick will correctly produce early developing consonants (p, m, n, g, k) in the initial and final position of words, with 70% overall accuracy.

This may not sound like much, but try doing them with your eyes closed. Suddenly, they all become a bit more difficult.

I'm excited to see Kinnick meet all of these new goals. She's off to a good start. Tonight, Kinnick counted from 1-10 without help! Of course when we got the recorder, she refused to count for us. We'll work on getting it on video. She has also started using a tippy cup. She lifts the cup, brings it to her mouth, and takes a few sips. It's a start!
