Another milestone!

WOW. I've taken a break from blogging. Wait, am I a blogger? Not yet,but planning to do so to share my daughter's amazing progress with right sided hemiplegia.

 Today we went to physical therapy after taking off an entire month because of our Texas Summer trip.Here we are with our angel, Jill (Frankie's PT) today. Little Miss F decides she is going to climb up on a chair for the first time all by herself, just a few days shy of her 4th birthday! When it comes to climbing on things, what has been so frustrating is that Frankie hasn't developed a "pattern" to do so. For most children, patterning is instinctual and is an easy task. This is something that Frankie had to learn for months. In order to climb this chair, she had to learn to put "righty" on the top of the chair, put the left knee up and to twist a certain way on the chair. This has to be practiced over and over again to train her brain. Well, it looks like this whole neuroplasticity thing is real and hard work pays off! Here's a video of Frankie climbing up on a chair today. It's the little things that make me smile.
