Hello everyone it's been a while. There has been a severe lack of art lately and I'm hoping to remedy that WITH A NEW TABLET! happy dance Finally got some money back that we were owed and I finally got to order my (Very late by now) Birthday present. A Yiynova 19U+! I'm supper excited for it to get here! I'll be checking the tracking number a million times a day I'm sure!

On a more serious note: My daughter. As some may remember my daughter didn't talk for a very long time and even now Sign Language is her preferred form of communication, though her speech is getting much better. Well today our speech therapist talked to me about how she's noticed many sensory issues during their twice weekly sessions and she wants to refer us to an OT for a sensory exam. Once we do that we'll know for sure if she has sensory processing disorder or not. While reading up on it, I can totally see where she is coming from. (It's not something I knew much about until recently.) It explains a lot of my daughters quirks or strange aversions that I thought were just Saoirse-isms. It explains why bath time makes her scream like you've dumped lava on her when even just a little water runs down her face, or why putting on a hoodie can become a 5 minute struggle if it covers her face for more than .5 seconds. (Seriously it's zip-ups or nothing with this kid! Or you have to stretch the neck wide enough that it passes over her face faster than a lightning strike!) She also thinks that some of my daughters picky eating can be contributed to this issue as well. We'll know more once the referral goes though and the OT contacts me to scheduled an eval.
