She loves the water...


The Mess Maker has always had an adversion to new and different textures, which is characteristic of a Sensory Processing Disorder. She is currently receiving Occuaptional Therapy and has made GREAT progress...she used to have horrible fits if any new or different texture were to get on her hands or arms (or feet), but she's now exploring play-doh, sand, dry rice/beans, sticky foods, etc. and is tolerating them just fine! What great progress she has made in the last 6 months with her OT!
One thing she had never had an issue with, though, is water. It just happens to be one of those sensory experiences that helps rather than scares her. From almost day one, she has loved baths, swimming, playing in the sink, etc. These pictures were taken yesterday at our neighborhood pool.
