Our start at STAR

We've finished two days at the STAR Center, and Sam is having a great time. He was so excited to see Lindsay, his OT. When she came into the waiting room to get us, Sam started acting shy. When she suggested that we go to the gym, Sam jumped up and followed her quickly. It seemed like he didn't remember the gym at first, but once he saw the rainbow room (a bunch of hammock looking stacked colored climbing fabrics) he knew exactly what to do. Then he remembered many of his favorite activities. 

Sam has also tried a few new activities right away. Here he is ziplining. 

Here he's playing in the ball pit. Last time the ball pit was his favorite spot. This time it seems to be the rainbow room. 

More ball pit. 

 

As you can see in the above picture, Sam is wearing headphone and a backpack. This is new to Sam for this trip. I'm not sure what is supposed to accomplish. In this picture the headphones were not playing music. Tomorrow some music will be added. I'll get the scoop on the purpose of the gear and report back. 

Of course we've had some fun adventures too. We went to the Denver Aquarium on Monday morning. It was a great aquarium. 

 And we've had ice cream too!
