On Wednesday afternoons, Sophie has music therapy. It's one of the things that she does that I would say is pure pleasure for her. During the last six months or so, when budget cuts forced us to stop the therapy (it was no longer paid for by our Regional Center), and as Sophie's near-constant seizures rendered her less responsive, we have missed it. Now, thanks to a grant that helps us to pay for it, music therapy has started up again. Yesterday, Oliver joined in and wrote a song for Sophie -- I dubbed him John Lennon and took this very lame video.

Yellow Submarine is one of Max's favorite songs in music therapy. What sweet brothers Sophie has!
What showmanship! This video is going viral. I can just feel it!
That really was sweet.
It's a wonderful video, thanks for sharing it. Hope the music therapy continues without problem.
Deana -- Welcome to the blog!
Big Daddy Autism - Your sure are prescient.
Emma -- I think we'll manage to find a way to keep music therapy in Sophie's life.
That is so sweet! Have been wondering about music therapy for my son and glad to hear Sophie loves it:) Jen (love the new look on the blog btw)
Put me down for a cd when they become available!
What nice interaction for Sophie with her brothers.

Off topic, but I see that you plan on reading The Wave. I got it for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it, read it on the plane heading back to college in frozen Boston, dreaming of California's big waves :).
Very nice. That Ollie, he's one to watch.
this made me teary. Yay for music therapy again, and wow Oliver is amazing!

Such love packed into that video --gave me a good cry. And interested in hearing more about the grant.
