Last week the physio set Maisie homework to learn to reach out a grab an object that she's looking at. Well, Maisie wasn't getting very far with this assignment even with lots of encouragement but it was just a matter of time before Amazing Maisie achieved her task.
As we all know Maisie doesn't do things the easy way and highlighted this to Daddy while having her daily bath. Maisie loves bathtime and often splashes around although not really very purposefully. Today Maisie knew exactly how much water she was throwing out of the bath so Daddy put a wee yellow duck into the water for Maisie to play with.
Maisie quickly noticed the duck bobbing around on the waves she was causing and this is when she decided it was time to complete the task set by the physio. All week Mummy and Daddy had been trying to get Maisie to notice objects that would be easy to Maisie to pick up but our Amazing Maisie obviously didn't find this challenging enough.
Oh no, Maisie decided that she'd wait until there was a wee yellow duck crashing around on the waves in her bathtub before attempting to complete her homework. After many attempts and lots of laughing (from both Maisie and Daddy) Maisie eventually caught the duck.
Maisie did this a few times and was so pleased with her achievement that she hasn't let go of her wee yellow duck since;
