Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Paxton had an occupational therapy appointment this morning. His original therapist came along with the new therapist to help with the transition process. Today was supposed to be focused on oral feeding, but from the start of the appointment, he was struggling. For some reason, he was breathing rapidly and was very averse to anything going in or around his mouth. This was completely opposite of what Susanne had been experiencing with him over the last week. At the end of the session, the therapist placed Paxton in his crib to work on some craniosacral therapy. The theory behind this technique was to help release tension and restrictions in the craniosacral system by using a gentle, hands-on approach. It was amazing to see how this calmed him down almost immediately.

Paxton slept the rest of the day. He was exhausted from all of the excitement. Susanne took this opportunity to try to clean up the house a little bit before her friends came over.

Cory, Ann, and Colleen all arrived around the same time that evening. The original plan was to eat dinner and watch the movie "Sex and The City 1" so that everyone would be prepared to go and watch the sequel in the movie theater. They had the best of intentions to do this, but they didn't stop talking enough to fit that into their schedule. They did manage, however, to squeeze in some time for cute, baby Paxton. Susanne tried extra hard to get Paxton to laugh for the girls, but she was unsuccessful.

Cory and Ann left later than they had originally planned, but they didn't seem to mind because they all seemed to have had such an awesome time. There was never a dull moment when they all got together. Colleen ended up staying the night because it was "Pajama Party Thursday". It was nice to finally catch up with her especially since they had missed out on spending time together the last couple of Thursdays. Susanne and Colleen continued talking for a while and then had to force themselves to go to bed. Colleen was pleased to find out that Paxton no longer had to be set up to eat at 3:00 am. This made a huge difference!
