Sensory Processing disorder

Ok so here is the update on G, sorry I didn't get a full update yesterday. We had girl scouts today and I had to get everything ready. There are many forms of this disorder, and we will continue to test G to see the extent of it. But for him, he craves touch. They gave me a website and I am reading through the site to figure out just what is going on with him. you can check out the site.
http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com . But he seems to be hypersensitive. He doesn't like loud noise, he frequently feels things out with is head instead of using his hands. He will scoot across the floor using his head. The OT took his socks and shoes off and put him in a tot filled with dry rice and beans and a few tiny toys, he was not happy about having his feet in this. She then showed him a little toy that he was very interested in, and then buried it in the rice. He wouldn't get it out. He wouldn't touch the rice. He doesn't like to have dirty hands. IT really makes him mad. The food thing follows in line with all of this. They call this orally defensive. There is a list of foods on that website, although I haven't looked at them yet. I am getting to it. But this defiantly explains alot of his behaviors. SO pray for us that the OT can help him out with this. I will be up for a while reading about this.
Curious George struck again today. This is the second time that she has done this. I was cleaning the kitchen, and I left the Green Works cleaner on the counter, so L took it and sprayed G with it. Now she had done this last week while dad was here, and I explained to her that this could really hurt him, but yet she did it again today. Poor little guy. She sprayed him in the face. I don't know how it didn't get in his eyes and burn like crazy. He was crying and he was very upset. Of course I would be too if I had been sprayed in the face with cleaner. Then tonight when I was putting them to bed. I went into G's room to lay him down and when I came into the girls room, L was hiding something, she had taken some pez candy into the bed with her and although she had just brushed her teeth she was eating this candy. As soon as I walked into the room she hid it under the covers. She is a sneaky little 3 year old. I told her she was just like curious George and she said I am not a monkey mommy. LOL Silly little girl.
Well I guess that is all for tonight. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come..........

I will be praying for your little guy! Is this something they think he will eventually outgrow?

I love your stories about "Curious George." They are too funny! 3 was always the hardest age for me. The boys never went through the "Terrible Twos." They were angels and I thought I was so lucky . . . but then 3 hit and I realized they were just a year behind! :0)

Have a great week!
Love & FROG,
Heather

I will be praying for you. I certainly know how hard and stressful it can be. You are so blessed to have caught it so early. I still kick myself for not noticing the signs sooner and getting my 4 year the help she needed at a young age.
