Swimming provides amazing sensory input and Thomas is really starting to love it. It provides great vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile input. Now that he is feeling confident at the pool and not as anxious, he never wants to get out of the water. In the beginning of the summer, he was so scared to put his face in the water, now he is a little fish :) Even got Liam in today as well up to his belly. I of course bribed him with treats for when we got out, but also distracted him to the fact that he was getting wet by having him try to squirt daddy and Thomas with a water squirter. He thought it was hilarious and kept him in the pool for about 10 minutes!
