'Tude

Jeff, Courtney (rhyan's physical therapist) and I have decided that our little gal has some serious attitude. We are trying desperately to do all of her stretches, have her do LOTS of tummy time, prop her on her left side if she's on her back... all in attempt to not only help with her torticollis, but to keep her off of the flat spot on her head. At this point she's very capable of turning her head to the left, but her little head falls into that flat spot naturally.

Back to the "tude". Rhyan has always hated for you to do the neck stretches, but now she anticipates it. You can touch the right side of her head (to push it to the left) and as soon as your fingers touch her face, she will turn her head quickly to the right. Its as if she's saying "um, i dont think so". And then she fusses like crazy when you do the stretches. Funny thing is, it doestn hurt her! I'm sure it would if we pushed very hard, but there is a distinct difference in her fussing and crying. As soon as we quit stretching her, she stops fussing. WHAT A BOOGER!

Anyways, Courtney said she is stubborn and showing her little attitude. Oh my. What will the teen years bring... start praying people! :-)
