The occupational therapist came to do a sensory evaluation on Cordon. After she observed Cordon and asked me about 3000 questions she had a diagnosis; He both seeks stimulation and avoids it..... yes I was just as confused as you probably are now.
In technical terms: the more stimulation Cordon can get the better. In order to process something he has to take in as much as possible. If there is something unfamiliar to him he avoids it because he doesn't know how to process it.
In normal person terms: he's an active curious toddler that gets nervous in new situations. I'm so glad we went through a huge evaluation to learn this (insert sarcasm) The therapist wants to start occupational therapy with him. We may do one or two sessions just to see how it goes but we both suspect that we will send this lady packing.
In other news, Cordon has finally started to babble and try to carry on "conversations." His deep manly voice cracks me up.

Gotta love the forced laugh in the middle.
Hey, sorry haven't checked your bloggy in a while. What the hay? Easy therapist, easy. Sorry to hear about Cordon, I can't imagine dealing with that as a parent! Sounds like he's making good progress. I like the little babbling video, what a cute kid :)

His babble is adorable. My friends son has the same sensory thing that yours does and he's two and a half. He's started his therapy a couple of months ago and is just starting to sound like yours, with his babble, so don't be frustrated, it seems like Cordon is doing great.
Is he speaking "Clingon"?
