			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We went to a playground on Friday for a playdate. I really didn&#8217;t want to go for two reasons. For one, it was super hot and humid. Two, I have been avoiding playgrounds for the past few months. Going to a playground always results in a meltdown.</p>
<p>Luke can still only use the toddler swings. He will see the other kids playing on the other playground equipment and want to join in, but he can&#8217;t. If I put him down, he will scoot in the mulch/dirt to try and play. It&#8217;s sad because I know he really wants to play and he doesn&#8217;t understand why he can&#8217;t. Once he can at least stand on his own, he can do more, but for now we are not going back to the playground:(</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to my mom, I was also a butt scooter like Luke. I never really crawled, but I started walking around 15 months, which is still considered late if you go by the book.</p>
<p>Our physical therapist mentioned one day that butt scooting is usually an indication that a person has low muscle tone. So, now I&#8217;m wondering if I maybe had it too, but not as bad as Luke. I have never been very athletic or had a lot of endurance. I managed to make it through basic training though:)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just hopeful for Luke&#8217;s future. I hope that his hypotonia is something that he can overcome and eventually catch up to where he needs to be. It&#8217;s fine with me if he is never athletic, but I know this is something that would be more difficult for a boy to handle. He is already very smart, so I think he will be more studious than athletic anyway. Only time will tell us for sure.</p>
