So blog post confession.......
The previous post was supposed to be about something entirely different. It was supposed to be about what this post is now about, but as soon as I put those pictures of my boy holding and drinking from his sippy cup my heart flew in an entirely different direction and I had no other choice but to follow it with my typing.
So here goes it, the "original previous post".....
For a while there we did therapies 4 days of the week, and at some point mama intuition had me start withdrawing Griffin from therapies so we could spend more of our days at home. So instead of 4 days, we do 2 days every other week, and then 1 day on the other week.
Let me tell you that I have seen more growth in him since we started staying at home more, and not traveling around to all of these different therapies.
Each season of a child's life is different, as is each child, so this may not always be the case for us to do less "official therapies", but right now it is so right.
So I just wanted to put it out there, in case any of you ever know a mama with a special needs baby. It is easy to get anxious about doing all of these different therapies. There are soo soo soo many different ones, and you just want to give your child the best, but soemtimes the best is less ( therapy that is), and less sometimes ends up being more! And I was going to tie it in to other aspects of life, of less being more, like with stuff, etc, but you all get the point. If there ever is that anxious mama, anxious to involve her little in it all, assure her that she doesn't have to feel that way, because I felt that way too for a while. :)



A favorite morning moment.
A shoe on top of the barn...so fitting of him.
A smiling mama when she finds all the animals put inside their home :) 
The little responsible for shoes on barns and animals inside.
I find his little things all over the house, in the fridge, in cabinets, in drawers, on top of chairs, on top of couches, in the bed, in his highchair, in his swing. This was a bag of clean cloth diapers I had taken down off the line and I had yet to put them back together, and when I did, Oh! A little Griffin surprise! His Grammi says it is like his way of reminding us that he loves us :) 



Hehe, like I said, he loves to put things in and on other things. I smile every time I see it.

And last, some popsicle love! This boy is a playing little! That is what he does all day long, play, play,play! He even brings his ball, or book to bed with him. I will scoop him up to go rock and in his hand there will be some toy, and as he falls asleep his grasp finally releases. Such a wonderful end to a wonderful day.
Thank you for reading. I love you all!

You are blessed to be able to enjoy and relax into every little milestone of his. You will never regret noticing and savoring those. I sometimes wish I could go back and be as attentive to Edie and Nate when they were babies as much as I am with Sophie. Love you!!
I am so with you on this one - less is more. Not only are you your child's first teacher you are his best teacher! I was sending Ella three days to her Waldorf preschool then we had a Christmas break and I didn't want to send her back -- so I compromised and sent her for one day - we were both happy for this. Therapy is wonderful - it is ok to go back and forth.
Much love, Nicole
