During Caleb’s PT eval, they evaluated him on everything from social, gross motor, fine motor to self-help. The only thing that he was age appropriate with was self-help. Self-help is eating and sleeping. We got that one covered! He got dinged for several items in the social category. But we are checking them off one by one. Unfortunately, all these things involve some sort of whining or crying. Do we really WANT to hit these milestones? ha. Here are some of the milestones we are crossing off of our list:
- Reaching for me to pick him up-it’s usually just one arm, but he will lean towards me too. He will do this most often when I come home and someone else is holding him. So sweet!
- Crying when you take away a toy(or not letting him have things that aren’t toys that he wants). Yesterday, I was trying to write down something and you would have thought I was hurting him with the way he was carrying on and reaching for the pen. I gave him the pen to see if that was really the problem and the whining completely stopped and was replaced by a smile. Little stinker-I then took the pen back!
- Separation Anxiety-he hates being left alone now. It makes it really hard to get ready or get anything done. He used to be completely happy laying in the other room by himself while you would try to get some things done.
Caleb all worked up-so pitiful! 
Seriously, we are so relieved and happy to be dealing with these normal problems/milestones even if they aren’t as rewarding as the smile milestone. Keep growing and developing Little C, you are doing a great job!
