Your Taxpayer Dollars At Work

In a recent post I mentioned Crusher was completely "caught up" from his prematurity, but this morning I received a call from the occupational therapist who evaluated him a few weeks ago and she's had a change of heart.  Since the free preemie program ends on his third birthday, which is only a few months away, she figured better safe than sorry and asked me to bring him in bi-monthly for therapy.

I was shocked because he seems perfectly normal to me, so I asked her what he needs OT for exactly, and she really sold me on her concerns.  I had never before noticed that every time he walks into a room painted blue his left pinky toe curls up just before he blinks twice, faces west and swallows.  Couple that with the fact this all happens in the blue room and he doesn't likes blueberries, there's some consistency with his intolerance for all things blue, and if he doesn't endure intense therapy, he may grow-up not liking the Blue Man Group. 

And all that just in the fine motor skills room.  You wouldn't believe the mess of a man he was in the gross motor skills room.  She pushed him on a swing and he said, "Wee" instead of "Yeah," and then smiled instead of grinned.  GOOD LORD, WHY US?!?!                                                                  
                                                                      
                                           


Editor's Note: Technically I'm exaggerating.  But only a lot little.
