And thanks for mentioning that website, Addie loves it! She spends time on Playouse Disney, but not much education there. Enjoy your flight back to Miami, and enjoy your mom's company while you have it.

But what they do there is some massage and some stretching (I guess to make sure muscles aren't limiting them?), they sometimes have them stand and kind of hold on to their hips and push down (I think they said it helps bone stabilization?), they put them on little push cars and stuff to help their balance, they will sort of put the babies body on the therapists leg so they're at more of an incline and then have the babies hands on the floor - but the incline helps build muscle when they push up, they put them on all fours to try to get them used to bearing weight like that, and they do some baby sit ups - pull their arms a little and help them sit up but trying to let the babies do the work. I'm sure there's more they're doing, this is just what I notice. Yeah, you would think they would give me a regimen to do at home or something but they haven't. Like I said though, I'm not really sure it helps.Jen Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145420899704834956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-76050635915970716552009-01-08T13:38:00.000-06:002009-01-08T13:38:00.000-06:00Hi - i'm a random reader but I was wondering what ...Hi - i'm a random reader but I was wondering what kind of things you do with your babies @ therapy.

I think you'll all need one after awhile. <BR/><BR/>And I sang praises when my daughter learned to click the mouse for Starfall. Thank goodness I didn't have to hear "ahhh" all the time if I didn't want to. Do you get the starfall camp song stuck in your head? I do. (She now knows how to turn on the computer, open the internet, go to her game and play all she'd like. Awesome when holding/feeding two babies to just tell her to go play on the computer and she does.)Safirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885594531853595282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024898625983696302.post-107313023699066382009-01-06T13:04:00.000-06:002009-01-06T13:04:00.000-06:00Jen, I promised myself this year I would keep up w...Jen, I promised myself this year I would keep up with my blog more and everytime I go to mine, I just have to check yours.

Sometimes I'll bet it's a little bit of a surprise- bellies are sensitive areas and something cold would be a bit of a shock. Maybe that's kinda fun. All the soft, silky things probably feel pretty good. It's fascinating to see what kids come up with and why.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I love Shauna's hair! Wow! She's beautiful anyway, but this is a fun new look.<BR/><BR/>I was inspired by your blog to cut Jan's hair for the first time in a few years. It went pretty well.
