Hello! What, you thought I had quit writing on here? As my kids have gotten older I've realized that the stories I share aren't just mine, but they are are their's as well. Which has made it hard to know what to share, because in a few years when they read posts are they going to want the stories I've shared to be on the internet? Cause I have lots and lots of good stories I could share. Just ask me about the night Lincoln slept in the chicken coop. For reals.
Since we've started learning about Bentley and his sensory processing disorder (we're still learning) I've been even more conscience and reserved about sharing his quirks online. It's been a couple years and I've read a lot of books and he's gone to a lot of therapy and while this isn't a problem he can be cured of we are dealing with it and making progress. So I'm going to start sharing what has happened in hopes that in 5 or 10 years from now he can look back and read where he started and what he has become. And maybe someone experiencing similar problems can find help in our try all the things approach. Bentley put in a lot of hours with the occupational and physical therapist this summer, and he would often exclaim, "OT and PT are ruining my life!" Which at the time they might have been since our entire schedule revolved around appointments and he still has to do it every single day. But we have seen a different kid emerging out of him because of OT and PT. He is stronger and more confident which helps in so many other areas. So here's they plan. I'm going to tackle each sense and walk through the issues, the solutions, and the progress.
