PT & Presentation

Here are a couple photos of Nicholas still in his pj's this morning with Katie, one of his physical therapists. She brought over the long wooden table for him to practice sitting at, but he was more interested in pushing his cars off the edge! She also brought the cute green pony you see Nicholas sitting on in the bottom photo. I am pretty sure he liked the pony more when he was just looking at it, because he wasn't as thrilled with sitting or bouncing on it. I think that maybe it was a rough morning because he's finally cutting a molar. I felt his upper gums today and could barely feel the bottom of one little molar.

In other news...this afternoon I did my final presentation for my thesis to my committee members at WSU Vancouver and I passed! Not only did I pass, but my advisor asked me to publish my research report on the Washington State University online journal, and I agreed! Now other WSU students will be able to access my report and use the information I gathered in their studies if they want...and they will cite me as a source. I am going to be published! It's so amazing! She also asked me to do an encore presentation on December 1st for one of her classes to help alleviate some anxiety that they are feeling about the research process. I am so honored to be asked to help these students. I simply couldn't be happier!

See you on the first. Your name has already come up when we discussed consent forms and how I had used your form to format my own.

CONGRATULATIONS! That is so exciting and it certainly makes hard work worth it doesn't it?!

Hope Nicholas starts liking the pony more, it can be lots of fun! We are dealing with teething in our house too, and boy can I not wait for it to be over....the 4 second year molars and we are done, finally!

Good luck with the teething and Congratulations again on your presentation!

Take care, Em
