Bailey’s OT

Filed Under Gymnastics, O.T., Thoughts, Two Years Old | 4 Comments

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve written a real post. I have to admit, I miss it. I really do. I have been emotional lately anyway- I can’t believe how big my sweet little girl has gotten. Today was her last occupational therapy appointment. She is eating, and we are continuing to work on her vestibular “issues” if you want to call it that. Her therapist is so proud of the progress she has made. I have to admit that as much as I hated taking her there, I was sad for it to be over. It’s hard to say goodbye to someone who has helped your child so much. They really become important in your life. We’ve seen her twice a week for basically four months now. She has gone to summer camp in their office. We’ve had tears and triumphs and lots of lollipops. We’re done.

I promised myself (and Bailey) that when she finished we could start gymnastics. We went to her first class last week and she loved it. She is doing flips around the bars and walking on the balance beam (with the teacher’s help, of course). My girl is fearless and if I don’t keep up with her she’ll just try it without me or without her teacher. Yesterday she started trying to do summersaults off the edge of the couch. We also had to pack up her high chair because she was pulling it over to the couch and jumping off the couch, trying to grab the back of the chair and swing. She makes me nervous.

A friend and I were talking yesterday about our daughters’ personalities. Hers is more hesitant and cautious. Mine plunges headfirst into just about anything. I hope that serves her well in life but that she doesn’t get hurt too much along the way.

And because I haven’t shared any pictures in a while…

And playing dress-up with Mommy’s glasses and the Silly Hat-
