When I returned, it was time to get back to the reality of housework, preschool and therapy appointments. Both boys had Easter parties that week and Corbin's spring break started just 4 days after I got home, so I definitely didn't get to do as much "homework" as I would have liked to right away. We are supposed to do movement lessons as part of our homework, which require you to lie on the floor and do a variety of slow movements. They are most effective with few distractions, so that you can really pay attention to how you are moving and how your body feels. However, having a 5 1/2 year old run circles around you, while a 3 1/2 year old is either grabbing your hand or climbing on you, is not exactly the ideal scenario. Next week we will all "go back to school" and I'm definitely ready to start my first online segment with fewer "distractions".
My first training segment was awesome and I met many amazing people. One of my favorite parts was hearing all of the stories from my fellow classmates about how they found ABM or how their children have been transformed by ABM. I've obviously seen big changes in Emmett too or I wouldn't be in the training. After doing several movement lessons myself, I have an even better understanding of how powerful this work can be.
Although I am just "a baby" in the ABM profession, I am already learning how to help others- one baby step at a time. I've even started practicing the few things that I have learned on family and friends. It will be a while before I fully understand what I am doing, but I guess that is how it is anytime you try something new.
Even though I was a little nervous to start this new adventure, I'm happy to say that it has been incredible, so far, and I know that it is only going to get better, especially when I can help Emmett in a way I never have before.
