Our first day of therapy

Today we spent time crawling on the floor, poking, rubbing, massaging, spinning, swinging, etc. We had tons of fun doing it, it was not a chore at all. Best of all, S loved every minute of it. I saw changes already, maybe it was because of our new attitude. S voluntarily got in the baby cradling position for one of her bottles today. She did a little bit of snuggling today all on her own. It's not something she hasn't done before, it just seemed initiated by her. Of course I'm looking for anything and everything. Time will tell if this was a coincidence or she's already making progress. I will try to list all of the things we are working on so I can have a better idea what progress we are making. I tend to forget a previous problem even existed once it's gone. For example, S used to hit herself on the cheek or head when she was frustrated. I re-directed her hand to go over her mouth so she could make the woo-woo sound with her hand. She responded well to this, and did that everytime she was frustrated. This behavior had stopped completely, and I was only reminded that she used to do it when she repeated it a month or so ago. Once we move on, I don't look back. That's why I will list everything so I don't forget where we started. I'm journaling with the hope we will be an inspiration for other families who might want to try this therapy. I don't expect to be unsuccessful, but if we are, then it is also valuable for people to assess if this is right for them. Every child is so different though, it will be hard to tell, but my daughter's symptoms are pretty textbook.
