Welcome to my page! I am now 16 months old and just started walking. In two weeks i have gone from hugging the furniture and my mums legs to waddling all round the house, the condo and any park or open space i can drag my mum too. Now that i have found my legs i just don't want to sit still for a minute. When i want to go outside which is pretty much every minute of the day i go and get my shoes or scratch at the front door like a puppy! I am getting skilled at dodging the outstretched legs of Joe trying to trip me up and can recover well when he pretends to fall into me by accident. I love chasing him actually but the excitement of trying to run and flinging my arms everywhere and laughing all at the same time inevitably sees me going flying flat on my face after only a few steps. After we got back from Bangkok my mum went into full swing with controlled crying. I spent nearly a week howling all night with my mum bleary eyed on the sofa and my dad oblivious to it all with the monitor off tucked up in bed. I finally gave in and my sleeping through most of the night has finally improved. I still try it on every few days but now my mum gets at least 3 nights a week where she gets to sleep. I still cause a huge scene at bedtime and take at least an hour to finally switch off and go to sleep, unlike my big bruv who is usually asleep at least half an hour before i am! I still have quite an attitude. I act like i am not afraid of authority! When told not to do something i deliberately will do it again and make sure that my mum is watching my actions. I egg Joe on to make loads of noise and nearly always start all the toy fighting. Yet i am so clingy for my mum and often mum is the only one who can console me. I love the pool. I am not afraid of the water and have been in head first a few times by accident and not even cried, probably about the only time i don't cry much! I can run around the baby pool pretty much all the time without falling over and sometimes i play around the steps of the big pool. I love it when water is splashed near me. If my face is near the water i open my mouth like a huge whale eating plankton and keep getting told off by my mum for drinking the water. I often join in Joe's swimming lesson for 5 or 10 minutes and Edwin is getting me used to being putting under a little bit. |

My eating is still a huge nightmare for my mum. The gagging hasn't stopped though i don't vomit all over Cherry or my mum so often now. I am now on mashed food and have got used to eating rice and minced meat. I just have no interest in food. My mum has even tried to tempt me with cake and biscuits and sugary stuff in a hope to even get me to pick something up, but if its a not a plain old cheerio or a star bucks cinnamon raisin bagel i won't even entertain it, in fact when my mum puts other cereal or crackers in my cheerio box i pick them out one by one and throw them away. At the same time my mum has banned me from playing with playdoh as i can't get enough of that. I don't want to play with it, i just want to eat it! Wax crayons are another favourite. I had a few sessions with the occupational therapist but they decided that i did so much exercise at home that i didn't need to see them and also i wasn't very cooperative when i did go. I still go the physio once in a while now to check on my progress but since i started walking i don't really need to go there now either. Time will tell how much sensory integration dysfunction has an effect on me in every day life, but right now its too early to tell. |
