Tuesday before Therapy 5/14

Today we have therapy. We go twice a week for an hour. Plus the therapy we do at home every day. I think one of the biggest challenges we are starting to face is that Camryn knows what she likes and doesn't like. She doesn't like being told what to do. Last Friday, at therapy she literally cried through the whole half hour of physical therapy. Not just upset and whine and complain but the type of cry where she is screaming at the top of her lungs. She's crying bloody murder. She just didn't want to walk and be bothered. We tried bribing her with food but she was just too upset. I know it sounds cruel but we work through tantrums because she needs to do the therapy and because we don't want her to think that if she cries she wins. She's at the age now where she is testing all of us. She was fine through the other half hour of occupational therapy, we fed her almost the entire time so she didn't complain. Like I've said before, she'll work for puffs. Another issue that has come up is that in physical therapy we are working on walking because that is where Camryn should be but in occupational therapy we are still working on weight bearing so both therapy sessions kind of work against each other. I guess we'll have to see how today goes. 

                                      

Camryn loves the Happy Baby Puffs or the Graduate Puffs! Thank Goodness for puffs. We wouldn't get through therapy without them!
