Excellent Follow Through
Movement for 8/13/08:
- Her movement was super-normal, today. She took coaching easily, stretched well through her abdomen every time I prompted her and, as a result, walked, sat and stood exceptionally well. No wheel chair use, today. I was so inspired I decided maybe it was time to try some sittercizes, but she wasn't interested, although she bounced around to the music I played (an iPod playlist of some of her favorites), even sang along to some of them as I sang and made lots of fun of me dancing around her and with her. She absolutely refused to do any actual exercises, although she commented several times, ironically, about how well I was doing. I was satisfied that she got an energy boost from the session.
- She did very well in the evening, too, but began to visibly lag just before she decided to go to bed. Not sure why. When I began preparing her toothbrush for her in the bathroom, she informed me in no uncertain terms that she would not be standing at the sink to brush, so I began to prepare everything for spit bowl brushing. She nixed that, too, telling me that she "just didn't have it in" her to brush her teeth, tonight. I gave her that one; I could tell that she was losing energy quickly and, anyway, she was becoming stupid-silly which always indicates that she's over tired. She even had more trouble than usual pushing herself back on the bed. I guess all the stretcing was sufficient exercise for her. She did well, though. Those lectures really do work. For awhile, anyway.
