Therapy update #2

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday!  After having a short week for the holiday we got back on schedule with therapy appointments.  Andrew didn't have a great day Tuesday and when we pulled into the parking lot he started getting crabby.  He wasn't very happy during the half hour session and didn't do as much which got me a bit discouraged.  I was so worried that he didn't like it anymore and wouldn't want to go.  Luckily, I was wrong.  When we got there Thursday he went in smiling again.  He worked hard with his therapist and when it came time to do this computer activity where he is supposed to listen to a sound in the headphones and then click a clicker when he hears something; he actually let her put them on his head!  In the past he refused to put them on because when he hears sounds in the headphones it freaked him out.  Granted he only kept them on about 30 seconds but after taking them off, a couple minutes later he voluntarily picked them back up and put them on again so it's at least SOMETHING!  Look at that smile on his face!  I'd love to tell you all we are seeing improvements but he's only had about 2 hours of therapy total so far so there's a long way to go.  I'm just glad he is happily participating for now :)
