I am amazed

We have had a 100% problem free day. No a single fit, scream, or even a single whining episode! I am sold on this body brushing and joint compression technique. The OTR told us to do it every 2 waking hours. In addition to what I did last night, I starting first thing this morning when she woke up. and I kid you not, she was perfect all day. Then at about an hour and half..forty five minutes after I would do it, you could see her start to slowly change. She would start fidgeting, getting frustrated, and sassy. So I would pull her aside, complete the process and when we were done she was completely relaxed and back to my sweet angel! I am just so amazed. Throughout the whole day you could really see the changes in her. Maybe today was just a coincidence so we will see what tomorrow brings :) What a great day!!!

Being brave the best way she knows how.

This has been a problem since bringing her home and though it has improved a bit in four years, it is still a 45 minute fight just to trim her fingers and toes. She has never been hurt - she just has a problem with it due to her sensory disorder - she is extremely over sensitive when it comes to her feet or hands. I am cutting her nails the other day.... O: do you have to cut the baby one too? M: Yes! O:NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the baby one OK? M: I have to, it's really long O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, its my dragon claw. M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr...
