Wednesday - Tantrums at OT

Gracie again had a rough night, she would toss and turn and cry out in her sleep. Just as it was time for me to roll out of bed, I got her to a calmer sleep state. She awoke a little before 6 a.m. and needed some snuggle time, so we rocked for about 15 minutes before we started getting ready for the day. It's amazing how taking that time for snuggling, can make or break her mood.

Gracie went back to daycare today and I'm told she had a good day. Jeff picked her up for her OT appointment at the clinic. It was wasted time and money today. She had one success and that was zipping her zipper on her sweatshirt. She did do a purposeful release too. Other than that she was uncooperative, wanted to go everywhere she wasn't supposed to go and when not allowed to do so would do a drop flop to the floor and cry or scream. Our OT tried mightily, Jeff and I tried mightily to engage her, but it was not to be done today. We finally cut our session short by 15 minutes as we knew it was going nowhere.

Gracie mellowed out a bit on the way home and was a good girl as I made dinner. She sat at my feet and listened to music and played with food packages. She ate a good dinner and then splish splashed in the tub.

She was so tired this evening and was asleep by 7:45 p.m. I don't think she has moved since she fell asleep.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
