A good visit

To the pediatrician, that is.  We were able to discuss our 5 year old's sensory issues, or Sensory Processing Disorder (see: http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/).  He also blew her away with his reading and writing and all around intellectual level.  we discussed that it seems many "high needs" (again see: http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/fussy-baby/high-need-baby/changing-personality-profile-high-need-child-grows) and sensory sensitive children also seem to be the ones who are excelling far beyond their own grade levels (I'm not talking baby geniuses here, but advanced kids nonetheless).  We made a game plan of sticking hard to routine and continuing to work through sensory problems at home, as she doesn't seem him doing well with play therapy because it'll be "beneath" him per se.  So for now, we'll just keep on keeping on with what we are doing and adding in more sensory play throughout our day.  She also got us on a plan to help with the sleep issues for both of the boys.  Crossing my fingers that it helps and we see an improvement there.  I am thoroughly pleased with this doctor and so glad we found her just over a year ago now.  She has been amazing, on the ball, and so informative at every visit.  We are going back in a couple of weeks for the 2 year old well check, too.  I know she'll be just as wonderful then as well.  I am glad we have things set in place now, a diagnosis, and a path set ahead of us for our oldest son.  It feels good hearing someone else also reinforce what we've already been doing.  Its been a pretty darn good day all around.
