💛 Logan’s Summer Prep: Finding Our Rhythm & Celebrating Progress
We’re easing into summer with intention—not perfection.
Around here, that means letting go of the Pinterest-worthy plans and leaning into what actually works for our family. And for Logan, that’s a blend of structure, sensory-friendly moments, and space to just be.
Logan thrives when he knows what’s coming, so we’ve been preparing for summer by focusing on routine, communication, and giving him choices. Some of the things we’re doing right now include:
✨ A simple visual summer calendar to help him feel more in control of his days
✨ A “calm kit”— a favorite fidget, blanket and his comfort item—so he can handle transitions more easily when we’re on the go
✨ Letting him lead—whether it’s choosing between swimming or a quiet backyard bubble session, he’s learning to express his preferences and we’re following his cues
And friends… he’s showing up in new ways.
🌟 Logan has been initiating more—asking to go outside, requesting certain music, and even pointing to what he wants. That independence is huge.
🌟 He’s starting to use more purposeful language like “all done,” “move please,” and “my turn”—and not just in therapy, but in real-life, meaningful moments.
🌟 His appetite and oral feeding have improved so much that we’re building more independence during mealtime, one bite at a time (we call them “Logan bites” 💪).
The sunshine has been good for him. He’s calmer, more regulated, and smiling more. We still have hard days—because that’s real life—but we’re seeing so much growth and I’m just beyond proud of him.
This summer isn’t about checking all the boxes. It’s about helping Logan feel safe, heard, and empowered in the season we’re in. And so far? He’s leading the way beautifully.
