Memorial Day Weekend

On Friday, Davis had an evaluation at All About Kids Therapy Services in Lawrenceville. They provide a service called 'suit therapy' that's supposed to be really beneficial for people with CP and spasticity. It's a great way to increase muscle control and strength. We're hoping he can attend the program in July since going to Orlando for Conductive Education isn't an option right now with the pregnancy.

Oh Saturday, we spent some time at the pool with Uncle Ev and Elle. I came to the conclusion that my brother is officially going to be 'that guy' that Davis idolizes growing up. He's ALL ABOUT his Uncle Ev. He wants to talk like him, sit like him, get into whatever he's getting into. It's really cute.

This is what my sweet baby turns into when Dadda takes him outside...

Pa and Debbie watched Davis on Saturday night while Justin and I went out. Davis came back to us all tatted up...

My personal favorite...

I dedicated Sunday to potty training. From 9:00 am to 12:15 pm, I kept Davis naked while we camped out in his room, playing and drinking lots of water. During that period, there were 10 different times where he'd start to pee on the carpet and I'd rush to sit him on the potty. Each time, I'd get really excited, let him pour his pee into the big toilet, and put a sticker on the door. We took a break for lunch where he peed in his pull-ups. From 12:45 pm to 2:00 pm, the same thing happened twice. We took another break from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm for naptime. At 4:00 pm, he peed on the potty. Then we left to attend a wedding and nothing else happened. The next morning, he peed on the potty and about an hour later, he poo'd in his pull-ups. We were gone the rest of the day, so the attempts were put on hold again. During these 2 days, Davis never once acted like he really knew what he was doing. He never told us that he needed to go potty. He rarely even flinched when he'd start peeing everywhere. And he still doesn't care AT ALL if he has a pull-up full of pee or poo. I'm about to explode.

In doing some research, I've decided that he's clearly not ready and that like every other developmental milestone, he's probably going to catch on late. I have an appointment with a pediatric urologist to find out if he has decreased sensation down there. I know that with some CP kids, this can be the case. So we'll see.
