Thanks, Elvis!

Junegee’s new favorite word is ‘Elvis!’  He loves Elvis doll/phone that sings ‘jail house rock’ for 20 sec.  It is his grandma’s which she got many years ago as a gift.  I played Elvis’s Jailhouse rock video from YouTube today.  Junegee was mesmerized enough that I was able to do anterior neck exercise for about 10 minutes.  Well, to tell you the truth, I was mesmerized, too.  He’s sensational and such a good looking wild man.  Thanks, Elvis!  You really helped me to do ABR on Junegee today.

marathon vs. sprint

I managed to put about 25 minutes anterior chest while nursing.  It is a struggle not to doze off while I’m doing that.  Prolactin is really working and I just can’t stay fully awake while nursing…  Other exercises are trickier.  This busy boy of mine protests.  Wiggle, scream, whine and yell.  Well, gotta take a day at a time I guess.

1 hours, 6 minutes

That’s the amount of time we were able to get Junegee still enough to do ABR today. Patience, practice and hope…

Tracking

I just made a google spreadsheet to track the amount of time that we’re spending on each exercise by day, with a handy summary view as well. Gotta love technology, especially as a tool.

1st ABR Exercise at home

First attempt at ABR

Well, first ABR exercise was anterior chest.  2 minutes then 4 minutes.  Junegee was still that much.  I guess he was wondering what we are doing to him.  The issue is ‘HOW are we going to do ABR on VERY busy, active 20 months old boy?’  My hope is that he’ll get used to it and be able to relax.  At least, we did it today and that makes me feel good.  One step at a time.
