We have been home from Boston for almost 2 weeks now. Not much new to really update on. I think I grossly underestimated how hard it would be coming home and doing life and trying to find time to add in therapy.
In fact we have done almost zero therapy in the last 2 weeks. We were told to give him a week off when we got home to let his body rest a bit and recover, but my plan was to establish a routine starting week 2. I ordered some new equipment to use and I was on such a “high” at the end of our Intensive session.
It’s like when you start a new fitness routine and you get all the equipment, you buy the cute clothes and you have all the motivation in the world to get it done…then life hits you. I went back to work, the kids were back at daycare full time and all my grand plans went out the window. This week came and went and I never established a routine.
I know it will take time to figure it out but I also feel like I am wasting all the gains he worked so hard for those 3 weeks. I knew it was going to be a struggle but reality is it is even harder than I thought it would be to get motivated to add therapy in. I know it’s crucial for his development and I need to do it but it’s hard and that’s the truth. It was so much easier to get excited about it when my days were devoted only to therapy and thinking about therapy. Now that I have a thousand other things pulling my attention it’s hard to give it the attention it deserves.
Time to evaluate schedules and work it in!
Side note: the boys have been enjoying being back together
