Day Twenty Five - CAN'T FIGHT THAT FEELING

The fans and dehumidifier continued to run all day. Good news - the floors are dry. But Frog had a difficult time focusing on anything but the white noise, blowing air, and sight of the rain falling outside. He was alternately stimming and sleepy. He is also battling a bit of an intestinal bug which did not help. When he did rouse himself, he wanted little to do with school work or engaging with mom. Other than requesting food, he spent most of the day exploring on his own - playing with water until mom would take it away; climbing on the wood stove (not hot), the counters, the dehumidifier, and furniture; and he brought out a lot of toys he hasn't generally played with in the past. He got his sister's kite out and experimented with the kite and the wind from the fan.



When he was quiet and sleepy, we read I Took the Moon for a Walk and Twilight Comes Twice. We listened to music and I did some mid line crossing movements to the music and let Frog watch me from a distance. The moves I used are found on the Smart Moves DVD program he has watched before and we've done some of them together, hand over hand in the past.

We watched the changing weather - rain and breezes blowing through the yard. We also noticed that our bird feeder has been discovered.




Frog did have a good time playing in the van after we brought Diva home. When I left to pick Diva up from gymnastics tonight the high beams were on, the turn signal was blinking, the volume on the radio was turned up high, and my seat was folded forwards. Frog had a good Floortime session with Dad tonight after all the fans had been turned off.

Frog's new medication has still not arrived at the pharmacy. Looks like we will not be starting the trial until next week.
