Yay! It's therapy time! Therapy time is fun (when it's with mom and dad) because we get to play!
During therapy, Mommy started holding my arms under my body because tummy time became really tough for me. So tough, that I starting to fall asleep. I don't know - I can't remember? Anyway, the book told her that it was a good idea to hold my arms to increase my strength.
When Mommy let's my arms go, I tumble over like a tree!
Uh-oh!
Yikes!
Another thing Mommy and Daddy like to do is sit me on the couch. The move my bootie so it touches the back, though I try and scooch down when they're not looking. (I don't really like sitting up yet.) Daddy read that this helps me strengthen my core and my neck at the same time! In this picture, Daddy is making funny faces at me so that I look up at him and don't drop my chin.
Daddy, you're so funny!
Can we stop now?
The best part of therapy is getting kisses from Mom and Dad. They want me to know how awesome I am doing!
The next therapy that we do is side lying. I don't like this too much when I do it on the floor on blankets. This feels pretty good on the couch! My parents want me to reach out to them or to a toy... I personally prefer to eat Percy's face off.
Finally we do shoulder lifts. Some parents like to pull their babies by the arms and lift them up, but I need to build up strength first. Mommy says that Hypotonia stinks like a dirty diaper. I don't know what Hypotonia is, but I'd rather not smell it!
Mommy and Daddy say that they're so proud of me every time I do therapy. It makes me feel special. I love it when they say, "Yay, Wessie!" It makes me feel like a rock star!
To thank my parents for therapy, I quickly messed my diaper and the goods went up my back, down my legs and into my toes. I even peed on Mommy! (Shh! So funny!) At least I got a bath! Boy, I love baths!
Until next time!
XOXO Wessie Poo (literally!)
