24/03/11He'll get there
He'll get there. Not words we normally hear.
Today Nate had his weekly physio. Normally he finds it highly amusing to lie like a sack o spuds and refuse to even turn his head. The physio makes lots of "hmmmms" and looks unconvinced as I tell her what pie has been doing. But today .... Nate was on top form, lying on his tummy, lifting his head, turning it, pushing up and holding his head when the physio positioned his arms correctly ! I couldn't believe it and the physio was over the moon with him! She started talking about changes to exercises as his strength develops, and how strong he was today. Professionals are really careful in how they talk about nate. They focus on issues and problems and never talking about the future or what he will be able to do. So when the physio nodded at him saying "he'll get there " it made my day. It might seem silly to parents of children who are developing normally to get so excited about him lifting his head but this is a massive achievement for pie.
Then we had the hearing test.... Normal! Again, not a word used to describe pie.
So tonight I'm celebrating him doing these things by sharing them on here and leaving the bra off.
