Sensory Seekin'

Over the past year or so, we've learned a lot about sensory issues with both of the boys. I plan to post more on that later this month, but I thought I would share with you Elijah's 2nd favorite way he seeks sensory input....Dumping out the tub of Legos and "swimming" through it!

His favorite way is not picture worthy. It involves pulling the nearest child down (tackling them) and rolling over them. :-/  He's even started doing it to Jonathan now, which is NOT cool. But he is quickly corrected and usually can be redirected.

This type of sensory seeking seems to go in cycles. This cycle started late last week (noticed by the "slithering" on the church floor), but it had been a few months since he was craving input this badly. I do hope it is over soon, but more importantly, I hope I can learn more ways to help him. We do several things to give him more input, but I would love to hear more ideas.  If you have a child that needs extra "input", what do you do to help him/her?  I'd love to hear more ideas!! Please do tell!
