Bubbles!

The kiddos learned the sign for 'bubbles' today and they are loving working on the sign language!! Even Noelle gets sooo excited for bubbles after she signs for it!! Andon is finally excited to be able to understand something that Noelle wants! YAY!! More progress!

We have been been having a really hard time with Andon's behavior lately. He has really been acting out and thriving on that negative behavior. Poor guy. I feel bad because I think if I were able to give him more one on one attention...it would avoid these bad behaviors. I'm trying to give him incentives to behave well and incorporate him in helping me with Noelle's tasks. We're working on it.

I took Noelle to the doctor that works on her development. The last time we went to him was a complete waste and he basically just told me that she was behind and to deal with it. Today, he was much better. He spent a lot of time with Noelle. He told us that Noelle had the things she needed to acheive more developmentally. However, doesn't know why she is not making progress. He basically told me that these were some questions that he was going to refer to the neurologist. She really has some major sensory issues with being touched. This is also something to work on. He did say that most kids that are able to sit up by the age of 12 months are typically able to walk and talk to some degree. This is good news!

We started with a new physical therapist who is going to try and get Noelle a "stander." It is something that will help Noelle learn how to put weight on her legs and feet...trying to move her closer to walking! I'm looking forward to the stander coming next week. I'll be sure to take pictures!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!!
