Sometimes Therapy can make you so tired

Yesterday is our busiest day of the week.  We do a lot of therapy on Tuesdays.  But yesterday was somewhat of an exception.  Abbie didn't sleep well the night before and then decided to get up at 5am.  She was ready to go.  However when you have a day like Tuesday, I knew to wonder:  how long it will be before she falls of asleep. 

When we got to Brown she was ready to go and did some really awesome things.  She responded several times to prompts and signed more a lot.  She looked and seemed to be having an awesome time.  Lots of smiles and laughter, I always like see that.  After brown we had lunch and went to target to pick up a few items.  She started to get those sleepy eyes.  But as soon as we showed up for our Speech and OT therapy she picked right back up - laughing and smiling and ready to play.  That is what we call it play.  I want her to always feel like she is playing and not so much working.  Any way.  She started to slow down, in speech she didn't want to to do much and tried to lay down several times.  After speech was over she started OT and she made it 30 minutes and then she was out for the count.  Sometimes were just too tired.  She fell a sleep while doing an OT exercise.  I picked her up got her to the car, got her home, got her to her bed and she slept for 3 hours.  My little was tired.  But that is OK because Tuesdays are our longest therapy days.  She did so well and did so much and I am so very proud of her.
