New Bath Seat

I ordered Ben a new bath seat that sits him more upright. Even thought he can sit upright on the floor, he still hasn't mastered the tub (his trach, poor balance and tightness in his hamstrings make it very challenging). Ben's old bath seat was a special therapy seat that reminded me a chaise lounge. Ben enjoyed it, but he really wasn't submerged in the water and I felt like it wasn't helping to eventually transition him into the tub one day without any kind of seat since he would be use to leaning back so far. Ben is learning to like his new seat and he even splashed around with his hands yesterday (that was a first for Ben since his hands never reached the water in his old bath chair and his has a lot of sensory issues with his hands).
