Emma Update

The doctor said:
Emma has a facial tic probably related to stress. There have been some major life changes in our family life that could have caused this: Baby Sophie and moving to a new house. The doctor also said that she probably does it more when she is watching TV because she is straining her eye to watch. This is not uncommon in toddlers but it is also not common. She said it could last anywhere from a few months to a couple years. If we notice her twitching other parts of her body such as her neck, shoulder, arm, or leg, we should bring her back in.

We are going to dramatically reduce the amount of TV she watches. If she is going to watch a show, it will be only 1 show and then a break instead of watching shows back to back. We are limiting her DVD watching in the van to long trips (1 hour or more of driving) instead of having it on all the time.
We will make it a point to spend extra alone time with her so it might minimize her "stress"
I hope this will help and I will keep updating you on Emma's progress.
