More therapy?

We went to our weekly speech therapy appointment and we talked to our therapist about how Myah has been acting and she mentioned that it could possibly be some sensory issues. And if it continues we may need to think about putting Myah back into occupational therapy. 
When she first mention OT i was very hesitant, not because I don’t think she needs it but because we have had multiple evaluations and went through two therapists in the time we did have OT. 
Our first therapist just seemed like he did not like working with kids, like if they annoyed him, and he had no patience for them. (He ended up leaving to another place to work with adults) 
Our second therapist was just mean. We felt like she would hold Myah down and force her to do the things she wanted her to do. I know they want them to focus but holding her down is NOT ok. 
We just dont want to deal with her again and she is working the day Myah has speech therapy so we would most likey be stuck with her if we stayed at that center for OT.            
We are thinking of waiting until she sees her physiatrist in the middle of the month and mentioning it to her. If she does think she needs OT then we will definitely get her into see one but it will probably be at a whole different center. 

Having a child with special needs means they will almost always need therapy but you as a parent have the right to get a new therapist if you feel you need too. 
No one should be forcing your child down to do the things they want them to do.

Sweetie pie organics review

Since I had successfully breastfed my first daughter when I got pregnant with our second daughter I knew I wanted to breastfeed without a doubt. Little did I know that this journey would be different than my first.  With our first daughter she was in the nicu and had latching issues, for the first two months of her life I pumped around the clock. I was up every three hours even though the night. With me being dedicated like I was I grew to have a have an over supply which was great but also very hard to control. At two months she finally latched onto the breast but because of my over supply I have a very fast let down which would cause more issues with her feeding. After having her lip and tongue clipped she was able to be fully breastfed on the breast at four months old and she went on to nurse until she was two and a half years old.  My second latched on right away and nursed like a champ. In the beginning I was up pumping as much as I could because I was afraid of getting c...

Our crazy weekends

Angelica and i both work on the weekends so it gets pretty hard. Our day starts off with waking up around 7:30-8:30 am we brush our teeth and Myahs teeth and head to the living room. I turn on our projector and put on either YouTube learning videos or of course her favorite movie Moana. Myah watches tv while i make coffee and breakfast. After breakfast I usually get Myah dressed for the day. We just relax until its time for me to go into work. At 11am i try to see if Myah is interested in nursing and if she is i will nurse her. Around 11:15am i start to  get my lunch packed and get myself dressed to go into work, I work from noon until 8pm.  Before i leave for work i try to put Myah down for her first nap. We don't put Myah in daycare so I'm either with her or Angelica is, we work around each others work schedule to make it happen. Myah will wake up from her nap after about an hour to an hour and a half. Angelica will feed her lunch and clean her up and put in the living r...

Acceptance is key.

We fight for inclusion, acceptance, change, why? Because people are afraid of different, different is beautiful, amazing , wonderful and sometimes challenging. It all starts with YOU, you teaching  your child at a young age that everyone is equally beautiful. To include others that are different in activities your doing, being patient as others that are different learn to do what comes easy to you.  Everyone is different and everyone is differently able and capable of doing things that others can’t but that doesn’t mean to exclude them from the things that you’re doing. For someone who is different they feel included when you take your time to be patient as they learn. Encourage them to join in on the actives your doing. Being kind as they may not know what your doing.   Sometimes i feel like there is a picture of this perfect child that doctors make you imagine. Your child should do this at this age and this at that age and anything slightly off that age is conside...
