New Idea
We started creeping(hands and knees) with our new program. S's knees swing out to the side, so Bette suggested putting painters tape down on our mat to guide where her knees are supposed to go. I finally decided to do it, and surprisingly, she was totally into it! She was the little train trying to stay on the track. I have a piece of purple duct tape across the middle where I joined the mat together. She was creeping over it and said, "Watch out, we're going over the water!" So I decided to put tape all the way across the track to make it look like real train tracks. It is really cute and she was happily creeping along without complaining. She is so obsessed with numbers and counting until we finish. We do 10 laps in general, so she obsesses about doing 9 and 10 because those are the last ones. She says, I don't want to do one and two and three, I want to do 9 and 10. I told her I don't care what she calls them, we aren't counting anymore and I'll just tell her when her time is up. Well, that doesn't work, and I finally tell her to just stop asking. I know this isn't the best solution, but her constant questioning doesn't allow me to have one thought of my own. I think I'll ask for advice on the attach group, maybe someone can offer advice. I know obsessing is so common, and I really don't want to stop her inquisitive nature.
