We are back from NY and a truly fabulous weekend. Aside from the great things we saw in therapy, it was just a cool weekend to be away together… pushing Lucas in the stroller through the bustling streets of NY, walking through Central Park, grabbing fresh fruit at the street market, going to restaurants and putting Lucas in a high chair and ordering real food off the MENU! So liberating not to have to carry around containers of baby food and ask someone to heat them up! I told Bran I felt so “normal” and I loved it!
Yesterday we got to see Lucas take his first lunge of a combat crawl on Marcy’s table. He initiated pulling his leg under as Marcy stabilized him, and then pulled himself out to the toy. I cried. I don’t think anyone that has not walked in similar shoes could possibly understand the feeling of watching your child do something you thought they may never do. I felt so proud watching him do these new things or when he'd do something funny to make Marcy laugh, and then I'd look over at Bran who was beaming as well through every session. And Lucas was just so cute and comfortable… every time there was a break in concentration on the activity with Marcy and he'd notice one of us (I was on the side, and Bran was at the end of the table), he’d give a big grin and say, “hiiiiii!” Or, "hi...Dada". Totally melts your heart.
We were really sad to leave at the end of this very anticipated trip. We'll continue to work with Carla (with Marcy collaborating with her on what she did) and we may go back to NY in the fall. Marcy told us on Sunday that she needed to work out a visitation arrangement with Carla because it was unfair that Carla gets to see Lucas all the time. Ha. He is quite the little charmer!
