Friday at the Farm: The Art of Hugging

Gwyneth had a short bout of crying today near the end of PT.  She had been standing at a fridge playing with magnets and was getting very tired and afraid when Leslie didn't hold onto her.  When Leslie tried to walk away to get the walker, Gwyn started crying.

She had been walking around the whole time, being challenged by Leslie to walk while holding onto less stable objects like a foam swimming noodle or hula hoop. Or to let go of one hand while walking.  This is challenging for her because she is fearful of standing or walking without being held.  Leslie said she has "mastered the art of hugging" to try to get support when she's standing.  How funny that Gwyn tries to use her cuteness to get out of PT work.
