Our little spaz boy...

Harmon has always been a character. When he was less than a month he learned to roll over... right off the couch. I think that is when I learned I would have to be a mom who was 100% on guard at all times. Besides being a little hyperactive I didn't notice anything was wrong until he was about a year. By that point I realized he was no where close to talking and hated eating regular foods. He was was in the 98th percentile for height and in the 30% for weight. He didn't do much babbling and paid no attention to us when we would try to address him.

So we did testing at 15 mos and he started speech therapy. Recently though a counselor came to our house and put together everything: lack of speech, lack of focus on us, hating food, easily bored, very spastic, etc. and had Harmon tested for Sensory Integration. This means he is sensory sensitive and takes in sights and sounds and feeling and tasting different than "normal" kids. It does not mean he has autism, hearing problems, or anything else bad. It just is a different way of experiencing the world.

Now our little one will be starting Occupational Therapy in addition to his speech therapy. They want to help him connect the dots. Learn to sit still a little more, experience new foods (besides pizza, french fries, and macaroni), help him focus, etc. We are really excited. Harmon is such a smart little bright kid. This will hopefully get him on the right track so by the time he starts school he will be caught up to his peers.
