G went to her last session with this PT tonight. I know she is sad, because her PT was a ton of fun, and has ALL the cool equipment (not to mention change is sooo hard on her) but I am a bit relieved. Tuesdays have been so hard on all of us. We get her from school (usually she takes the bus) and race to PT 20/25 min away. I keep S happy for her appt, then we race back to town so she can make the second half of dance. I keep S happy in that waiting room too (well, I try! LOL) and we scramble for food/homework/bath/bedtime.  It’s also S’s school day, so he is wiped from the start. It makes for one very very long day.

She did well saying goodbye, although she was extra goofy/distractible during her session, and really acted out when it was time to go, which got S going too. *sigh* I’ll admit that over vacation, we were NOT on top of her listening, and I am really noticing the negative impact on her behavior. I made sure today that if we tried a break in the future, we could get right back to it if we encounter this again. Talk about a kick in the ass to get back on top of things! Yikes!

I think that her PT telling her that she would come see us at work (indoor play place) really helped the transition. It def. made a “see you later” out of a goodbye.

We were sent home with a great progress note (more on that in a bit) and lots of recommendations for her new (well, really her original) PT, and some great shopping links :D I am feeling really confident about all this. Now I just have to survive until our discs get here!
