It’s been another great week and I’m super excited to see my youngest is finally starting to show signs he is outgrowing delayed fine motor skills problems!
Sunday: we headed to Lifebridge (the church split from where we attended for 5 years) and heard the new pastor. Then we rushed back to the church we’ve been going to for 2 years because kid’s choir was singing in ‘big church’.
The boy was beyond ecstatic to sing on stage. I thought it was a big deal because the song incorporated sign language. That’s been a bit of a struggle before with his right hand.
Monday: Spanish Class. This hour has become very special to me too! Last semester teaching I arrived later and left earlier never even seeing any moms. It’s been sweet to connect as a mom and not just their kids’ teacher!
Of course we ran downtown quickly for more rock hunting and scored a beauty.
Tuesday: Dentist. Poor kid will have a lot of these visits in his future. His bottom teeth are so cramped a regular brush can’t flex to get them clean.
It was nice being close to home – I am loving the fact that tennis practices are over and I’m not driving all over.
Another delayed fine motor skills victory: new bike with hand brakes. It’s really a new-to-him bike passed down from his brother who hardly used it. I was really worried it would lead to instant accidents, but he’s come back every time in one piece.
Thursday: Geography Class I brought Legos so students could build the Great Wall of China. The day was outrageously beautiful so after class we had to rip open new kites & enjoy the afternoon outside!
Friday: We’re off to a homeschool birthday party at Monkey Joe’s! I am fully aware that this might actually be the last time my kids enter that place since they are outgrowing it.

I have a few with delayed fine motor skills. I’ve been wondering about taking action to help or waiting it out and providing lots of opportunities for growth. Thanks for posting that your boy is doing better!
Gives me a bit of hope. 🙂
