I am an Early Childhood Educator turned stay-at-home mom. Finally received answers to my oldest son's "quirks" when he was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder in 2010. What a learning curve for a former teacher, who was only 10 years out of school! Here are our ups, downs, and vents in between....

Progress!
So today was week 4 of swim lessons. And he actually put his face in the water!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!! He put his face in to get a dive stick that was located at his feet. What a great activity for him to work on visual perception too! I am sure that his swim instructor didn't know it, but I was taking notes ;) He still will not lay back in the water, and maybe never will. But we are really okay with that. It's all about his timing of things. The sweet little dear kinda psyches himself up for it on the way there, saying I won't be scared mommy. There was another little boy who was terrified of the water at the first lesson. He is now "swimming" around with his noodle. Mine still stays at the wall. And I am really okay with that. Swimming is another form of therapy for him. Great for resistance, and tactile stimulation!
