Another interesting day

John woke up this morning with his belly a little large and a very upbeat attitude. He spent the early part of this morning in his gait trainer and tried his best to be right under our feet as we were getting things ready for breakfast. After we had moved him to his chair for breakfast he was not very interested in anything that we tried to feed him, and became less interested in anything at all. He would not give us any indication of what he wanted and then in frustration pulled on the tubes to his hearing aids until the molds popped out of his ears. We have been getting a little lenient of late about this so we decided today would be the best time to bring this back in line. We took him and put him in his crib and set the timer for 15 minutes.
After coming back out in a somewhat happier mood John went downstairs to dads study and spent some time in the exersaucer next to dad's desk with some toys. This lasted for a good while and John was entertaining and was happy as long as he had dad's attention, but when there was work to be done, and John grew bored of the toys in the box he decided to add his hearing aids to the toys. At this point he came back upstairs and back to his crib. After a further 15 minutes of downtime mom picked him up and had to change his clothes from another bottom explosion. This time he was not too thrilled with anything. After he refused his hearing aids, mom put him on the floor to sit and play with his toys from his toy boxes, but instead he chose to throw a typical 2 fit.
There were several more displays of attitude today, more hearing aid pulling that got him put in his crib, he even showed his attitude to his PT. Usually when she comes it is fun time, especially when they go outside. Mom and Shawna led him in his gait trainer to the driveway, and from there he cooperated beautifully until he got to the corner and then he would go no farther. He would go backwards and sideways but no farther down the street. All in all Shawna was pleased with his physical progress. It wasn't until this evening that John the good little boy we all love showed up and was happy to play and interact. He did not really eat anything today, and his belly is not doing as well as we hoped, but he has gotten more of the more solid stuff out of his system so that we are hoping that he has a better day tomorrow.
