A Ball of Many Purposes


Sydnee has just blossomed this past month! She has been seeing her physical therapist for a few weeks now and they have been able to readjust her body in areas that were causing her lots of pain and problems from birth, and every session has been so beneficial! She is now sitting up by herself with great posture, she talks all the time, she says, "Mama" when she wants me, and she is so happy, squeeling at everything from sitting up in the grocery cart to being rudely awakened by Hallie flipping on the light and yelling, "It's wakeup time, Syd!!" every morning. (I know she's dying to have her own room soon!)

It's been so fun to see her growing and getting to know what her personality is really like without her being in pain all the time. Her developmental therapist puts her on this big ball every week to help her with balance and posture, and she gets so excited when her therapist pulls this ball out, she loves it! Of course, being on a big ball isn't enough, she needs to be holding another ball to top off the fun!?

How sad she has been in pain. :(

Our oldest daughter had a PT come for a while, too, and I was amazed at what a difference it made for her. Now she's 4 and you'd never guess she once needed it.

You've got adorable little girls!
