Maggie Gallagher, future children's therapist
That was SO cute. Karl was doing Jamie's PT[1] on one of the beanbags. Maggie then started doing PT for a teddybear on the other one. She was following Karl's lead, doing the same kinds of stuff. It was adorable. She's already been helping do the same sorts of speech and sign work with Jamie that his therapists do.

Powerful hugs, squishes, pushing into joints, etc. "The proprioceptive system refers to components of muscles, joints, and tendons that provide a person with a subconscious awareness of body position."
