Do you ever just have one of those days where you feel like your entire first year of your child's life has been nothing but getting her arm to move?! I'm definitely having one of those days today. I don't even think I've ever purchased a toy for Camryn without it being for some type of therapy. Even while we are feeding her I put it in front of her left hand so that she is enticed to use it. I hope during this second year I get a chance to enjoy Camryn a little more and not be totally encompassed by getting her arm better.
On another note, we have her one year early steps meeting on Tuesday to go over our new goals for her second year. I wonder what happens when she turns 3? I know Early steps stops but than what? How much therapy will she need?
Yes! I have absolutely been there....more than once. I even have family trained to pick out toys that will challenge Jadon to use both hands. Jadon is 4 yrs old...things have slowed down a lot for us right now. We are down to once a month therapy right now as our therapist completely trusts us to do the work at home that we need to do. She told us to enjoy this break and we plan to!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy I'm not the only one that feels that way!! We are even using toys that are technically not age appropriate just so we can get her to use her hand and arm correctly. :)
