So far, we’ve been doing well with our morning semi-routine. For a few weeks now, we’ve been getting out of bed around 8-ish AM. We open the blinds and let the sunshine in and then Dylan will tolerate anywhere from 10-20 minutes of playmat time. After that, I often put him on my lap and we sing, stretch and do a little exercise.
During yesterday’s lap-time session, I held up my camera phone hoping to capture one of his smiles (I wasn’t disappointed!) and, finally, after a few minutes of really staring at it intently, Dylan flashed me a smile!
