I Don't Know Where To Start!

So much has changed in the past 9 days. We backed off of the fetals and things calmed down again. Daddy went with her to Chinese class while big sis went with me. This proved big sis was the trigger. Although she wasn't attnetive in class, she wasn't disruptive either. Then came re-eval day on Monday. I knew things were good, but I wasn't really prepared for what I was about to hear. We are done with tummy crawling!!!! Yay! I am so happy about that. The next big news is that we are almost done. We just have some crawling and fetals and then we should be finished by the next re-eval. We are going to do a little more BIT and probably some cranial sacral. My goal is to be finished with ALL therapies by the end of this school year. We may need some on going attachment/counceling, but if that's all we have, I won't complain. I can't believe the end is in sight, it has been a long time coming. Hard work pays off.


Something extraordinary happened the evening of our re-eval. We were going to visit her big sister at school for her birthday. We passed a stray kitty that the neighborhood has been feeding. She piped up saying, "I wish I had a kitty!" The first thing that makes this so unique is that she never said she wished for anything. Our old almost 20 year old kitty died within 8 months of S coming home. She did like him, but hasn't really shown any interest in animals even though we have 2 dogs. I have seen her occasionally feeling their fur.
The other strange thing is that for the past 2 days she has been calling me mamma. It has been mommy or mom for the longest time. Maybe the new fetal pattern? I don't know, I just know it's different.
I'm still getting used to the good news that we're almost done. It's just too good to be true.
