Another Great Session

Raquel had a great session yesterday with Cari. I was hesistant when she arrived, and even told her I didn't know what to make of it because she was extremely tired from not napping. She was a bit whiny at first but was very cooperative throughout the entire session. She wasn't talking much at all, but she was laughing and laughing throughout it. And she did really well. They changed a few things after the meeting Wednesday night, and yesterday it showed that the adjustments were made in a very positive direction.

She had another great session with her today. Again, not talking a whole lot, but very cooperative for the most part - especially considering it was her second day in a row without napping. It was nice to end the week on such a positive note.

Another great milestone happened today. One of the things Raquel's former physical therapist was working on with her was building confidence in walking on unfamiliar surfaces and at unfamiliar places. Today, she did great at the mall! Mike said it took her a little while to get used to it, but once she did, she was walking all over the place and playing with the other kids. Go Raquel!!

Here she is cruising down the family lounge.



And playing with big sister with some of their toys.



Playing in the "rubber room".


Watching Gabby try on some really cool hats.



And here she is - ready for the nap that never happened.


Another therapy week comes to a close. Looking forward to the weekend and a couple days off. I'm so proud of my little girl and all of her accomplishments!
