As we expected, Kaylia's second night on the new regime was a lot better ... she
came upstairs twice but accepted going down again.
The puzzling recent headaches issue may have been solved .... we think it's the dreaded constipation again! Once again, it would be so good if we could hold a better conversation with her ... if she could tell us what she was feeling, we would have a much better chance of finding out what was wrong!
Therapy today sounded so good! Lia started a new activity that involved Kaylia telling her what music was being played .... Kaylia really got into it and was very excited.... doing the actions and singing along. The whole therapy thing is very good for Kaylia ..... not just from the basic aim of developing her abilities ... also from the viewpoint of satisfying interaction and activity. Most activities for a child involve imagination ..... and for a little person who has no imagination, therapy gives her something other than mindless 'stimming'! She gets structured social interaction .... she gets rewarding feedback .... she gets mental stimulation (distinct from stimming).
Today I received the first Christmas newsletter .... it will be hard to know where to stop when writing ours this year!
