Lily had PT yesterday and the therapist said that this is the hardest stage of her rehabilitation - she knows what she wants and any therapy exercises she doesn't like, she will fight. So as gut-wrenching as her cries may be when we do the exercises, I have to keep doing them because I don't want to stunt her development. Plus she is at that stage where she is smart and if I do things for her, she will expect me to do them for her all the time. So little things like pushing her on her lil 'push and ride' and not letting her learn that she can push it herself will hinder her later. Stuff I didn't even think of when Danika was her age. I guess that's why he have a therapist for Lily so she can teach me new ways of thinking and correct the things I take for granted.
