Dreaming . . .

Last night, I dreamt that Sammie B just took off crawling. The dream was SO very very clear to me, and I remembered it perfectly when I woke up. In the dream, she was sitting on the floor, and then just literally took off, with a HUGE smile, just like I've always imagined she will when that day comes. I know that she'll LOVE mobility. Love exploring her world, her way, without having to be carried to where she'd like to go . . .

I know we'll get there (maybe not through crawling because I suspect we will skip that and go right to walking whenever that happens; she hates the four-point position so so much but LOVES standing), and I know her smile will be huge. (As will mine). But the dream had me feeling all wistful . . . which was annoying because I thought I'd found that "good place" again. Oh well, it was a sweet dream, and someday, someday it will be a reality.

In other news, Sammie B has had two GREAT OT sessions that I've missed. I'm trying not to get all the working-mama guilt for missing these sessions since the ones prior to this were less than good, and I felt like she just kept looking for me to rescue her from all the hard work . . . so maybe without me there to rescue her (or for her to think I might rescue her) she might do BETTER in OT? A silver lining to the working-mama woes? We'll see . . . this month my Tuesdays off are shot, so I'll likely miss several OT sessions. I still feel like PT is the bigger concern, so if I only get to go to one appointment per week, I'll make it that one, and since its a crazy busy month, it might only be one appointment/week for me! Here's to hoping the sessions continue to go well, even without me there! (And here's to be uber-grateful we have our fabulous nanny to take Sammie B to all of these appointments, to keep me updated via blackberry messenger, and to keep the pictures coming . . . that's what a working mama needs to stay sane!).

AND, HERE'S TO HOPING DREAMS COME TRUE . . .

Luke was/is a "butt scooter". I never realized how important crawling really is for their brain, neural pathways etc. Once he finally learned how to crawl, other things started to fall into place. He didn't crawl until he was about 20 months. Some kids are fine to bypass crawling though, so either way, Sammie will find her own way:)

Your dreams will come true!! Keep those positive thoughts and visuals close to you and it will happen!
