Please don't feel bad. You certainly haven't wronged Josh. You are

taking his best interests to heart. I'm sure will reply to

you when she returns from Eater Vacation. She always has some great

stretching advice. You might want to search to archives or messages

because she is great at providing links to stretching exercises.

Her id is rella1234 - I think.

If Dane was my first, I probably would have felt discouraged too.

My daughter was a rather difficult infant and she really broke us

in. She screamed for 6 months straight.

Is Josh in PT too, or are you just stretching at home? My son is

just getting over his tort. Before he made progress, it was

impossible to keep him off that right side when he was in the car

seat or crib. There is no reason to beat yourself up about it.
