Notes

Yesterday, we had to go out of town for a wedding, so no NR. This morning, S asked, "Are we going to do exercises?" For someone who protests all the way through, why does she ask? I have always said her body knows she needs it. Her tummy crawl is progressing, but she just can't seem to get her left leg to do the work. She protests about the fetals, which are the easiest. How are we supposed to make it a pleasant experience when we have to force her through them? I make her snuggle when she's finished and she doesn't like it. It reminds me we aren't as far as we need to be for attachment. We have come so far though, we'll get to where we need to be.

I found out the listening program that Bette thought we could use cannot be used at this time. I'm going to try to convince the OT to do a listening program for sensory. The OT acts like she has some knowledge of attachment, but when mentioning the listening program, she spoke of going back to early times. Then she said something like, "Oh never mind, she was an orphan." Gosh, why aren't there people who get it? Why should I have to travel all over the country to get my child help? It looks like I need to do that. People act like they know, but they only want to understand as much as they already know, they aren't open to learning more. I don't know if this is the case with our new OT or not, but that comment really made me nervous. I will talk to her and see what she means. We were discussing something else at the time, so I didn't get into it.
