I’m writing this over a week later, so I will stick to the highlights that I remember.
First of all, I had an unbelievable lunch, largely due to the roasted pumpkin stuffed with wild rice that Lily made a day or two before. I eat so well in this home!
During work, I took Lydia to her first therapy session with Vhari to help her with her anxiety. Vhari did sand therapy with her. She has hundreds of Play-mobile pieces, and a sandbox, and she lets Lydia act out parts of her life in the sandbox with the Play-mobile figurines and props.
I was in and out of the session due to work calls (I’m glad Lydia has both time alone with the therapist and time with me there to learn too), but what I did catch was that Lydia told all about her trip to Bear Lake, and she started to discuss the anxiety she has at night about not being able to fall asleep. If Lydia doesn’t fall asleep right away, she can feel very stressed about the fact that she’s not falling asleep, and that can keep her up even longer, thus causing more stress etc. The session seemed very positive. Lydia has such a beautiful heart, and I smile at her sweetness and the familial love we share when I look at the Bear Lake scene she created:
After work, Ammon had a soccer game. He often will announce he scored 2 or 3 goals when a game is done. It’s possible I wasn’t paying attention……but I usually feel pretty sure he didn’t actually score, at least that many. In this game, he actually DID score a goal, and I got it on camera!
Lydia was at the game with me and drew cute pictures of Ammon, and wrote a journal entry about her sand therapy.
