I've had company, so I knew it would be hard to keep up with the therapy and the journal. S has her cousins here, so her sensory simulation is pretty well taken care of by them. On Friday, when she was playing with her 8 year old cousin, she flopped down on her belly outside and attempted to crawl! She realized she couldn't do it on grass, so she got up, but it still amazes me how natural it is for her. I am so grateful to have found this therapy while she is so young. She did a lot of her tummy crawling yesterday before anyone came over. All of her sisters and cousins were sitting at the table for dinner yesterday and I wanted to put her there with the 6 of them. She hasn't sat in her high chair since last summer, she actually acts scared of it. I lifted her up and she tried not to sit in it, but I wanted to see if I could get her to stay in it. She reluctantly complied, and I scooted her up to the table and gave her her plate of familiar foods, plus a new food. She sat there and ate with them for nearly the entire time they were there. I was so proud of her for staying there AND for eating. She seems to be talking so much more. Today at church, her big sisters were whispering to eachother and I shushed them. S said, "Shhhhh, quiet". It was so cute.
I got a phone call the other day about the Early Intervention Center. They have a spot for her and we have to go in for an observation day. If the center and I agree that it's the right place for her, we have a spot! I think this will be great for her.
We've been back to the old position for feeding, but this morning I asked her if I could hold her like a baby and she got into the position. She has been more compliant in general to my requests. I am so excited for her, she must feel so victorious.
