PT And OT Time Is Finished

I know I shouldn't be sad, but I am. Both Liz and Dana have been coming to the house once a week to help Mattie with her muscular weakness and although Mattie didn't appreciate their little visits, I did. Mattie wasn't cooperative these past couple of months, so that made it a lot tougher on the therapist. I hope that they both will keep in touch because they have become part of our weekly routine and we are going to miss them. It is nice to know that Mattie no longer has a delay that would require either PT or OT, but the company was nice.

Mattie and Mommy Have New Titles





Today, Mattie and I made our way to the Depeyster Days. At 10:00, Mattie was in a baby contest where she won "Little Miss Sunshine". She got a cute stuffed animal, a badge and a blanket. At 12:00 they had the worlds smallest parade, it lasted about 10 minutes and mostly consisted of locals sitting on the back of their cars (yah, we are talking Hickville big time!). Then at 2:00 the rest of the family joined us and we (Shanelle, my father, and I) participated in a nail driving contest (I didn't tell you, oh yes, this is a Hickville game) and guess who was victorious with a time of 2.2 seconds to pound in a nail? Yup, it was me. OMG...it was luck, pure luck that won me the title of Best Womens Nail Driver. There were some butchy women to compete against. Shanelle didn't do too bad herself, she had a time of 7 seconds. Now my dad, thinking he was hot stuff...he sucked, got 11 seconds. The worst one for the men. OMG it was so funny. My prize was a new hammer (will come in good at the new house) and a $25 gift certificate to Walmart. So Mattie and mommy came away victorious and with new titles.
