Wednesday: Galen did wonderful at therapy. And even more awesome, I took a bath with bubbles. Galen came and played with them some, then Flint got in and splashed with me, then Galen came back again. He put his hands in and even his foot twice. I told him he didn't have to get in, but could if he wanted and it sounded like he said 'maybe'. He didn't actually get in, but progress!

He's even been snuggling Flint more!

Last night he said (or I interpreted the sounds as) "I love baby and baby love me". :)

Today I did an hour walking at the store pushing grocery carts around with Mazzu and the kids. The kids actually did pretty well. Galen usually screams about being in a cart, so here's hoping he'll be better with them now. Flint didn't really care either way most of the time.

It's been extremely awesome that Galen loves bubbles now! Grammy (Mazzu's mom) gave us 2 bottles of bubbles. Galen's loved them so much, that I bought a couple of bubble guns since blowing them ourselves was wearing thin with my asthma. It arrived today and already one of them is almost out of bubbles. But I also bought stuff to make our own bubbles from a Pinterest recipe.

Yesterday Galen did wonderful at Occupational Therapy, but did really bad at Speech Therapy. There's good reason though. He had another fill-in speech therapist and this one was downstairs instead of in the same room as all the other therapists have been. This therapist said he screamed for 30 minutes, then fell asleep, so we left early. This therapist and I decided that Galen needs more consistency, so we've put it in his file, that for right now, he needs to see his specific therapists every time. Last week he did pretty well with the couple fill-in therapists, but I think the big clincher was being in a different room than the others have been.
