Since Lily loves Christmas trains, we thought putting one under the Christmas be would be a fun!! She loves the train--it plays Christmas music and makes real train noises and has a headlight. Super duper choo choo appeal. In fact, it is so appealing to Lily that as it was chugging it's way past her, she lunged forward and grabbed the train to pull it off the tracks. Unfortunately, it pinched her fingers, and although it didn't break the skin, it really hurt, and she cried a long time. That's when we realized that this was the first time Lily has really hurt herself by doing something besides falling over--and even that is pretty rare. It really scared her!
So, the next day, dad sat down with her next to the tree, and thought well I'll turn on the train and make sure that this time she can't lunge for it. Before he even pressed the on button, she realized what he was doing and started crying in fear! She has never had the cognition to remember that she was scared of something! I want her to get over the fear of the train and learn that she can like it but not touch it, but it's really amazing that she not only remembered the train but also recalled how it hurt yesterday. I feel like I'm getting so spoiled this Christmas with cognitive advancements, lowered seizures and a lot of new hope!!!
