First day of Conductive Education for Jordan

So, today was really our first day of class. It is really a good thing because I put Jordan in her play yard last night and I think we both slept better. She went to bed around 9 and slept all night. We got up this morning to leave for class and it was 17 degrees outside and there were snow flurries falling. I had to put 2 coats on Jordan, gloves, ear muffs and put a blanket over her head. I know we looked pretty silly leaving, but the last thing I need is for her to get sick. Jordan started the morning crawling to a chair, standing up and sitting down on the potty. Of course, she did not like any of this, but this is CE, so she'll have to. She kept trying to stand up while on the potty. She's just like her brother! I guess he gave her some secrets about the program before we left, haha. Jordan did a really good job today for it being her first day. Most of her transitioning today was hands and knees and pulling. She did such a good job when she was crawling to the mat for the mat program. Helga would just cue her and she would lift her leg and bring it forward on her own. Helga was very impressed with her today. She liked when Helga would sing to her, especially in Hungarian. I don't know what it is about Hungarian songs, but both my kids love them. Who knows?
Jordan thought the stretching with the stick was funny! I took a short video of her doing this task with Helga. I think it was the only part that she laughed about the entire 3 hours this morning.

After the mat program we had to go to the plinth for snack time and potty time. Jordan was not a happy camper when she had to sit at the table, this will take a little while for her to get use to. We were supposed to be eating snack at this time and here is what Jordan did...

This last picture is of Jordan after potty time. Jordan used the potty today after snack time. What a big girl!!! Yeah Jordan. So, of course we had to sing the pee pee in the potty song, which Jordan could care less because she had to sit on the potty. She did such a good job today, so she got a big sticker at the end of the program and walked out with Helga. One day down, just a few more to go.
