Therapy: Love/ Hate Relationship

I've started asking myself, how much therapy is too much? How many specialist are too many?
While I'm thankful that we have the people we do, I see my kids' babyhood/ childhood in front of me and it is not what it should be. For one, they love being at home, two, they have toys that seem like they are never played with- brand new sitting, waiting patiently for these three awesome kids to just play. We drive 45 minutes to therapy, Madi has to wait while Brody and Gracie get their workouts, then it's the 45 minute drive back home. Once we are home, it seems like it is time for dinner, baths, and then bed time. So basically, the only play time they have is in the morning before we have to start getting ready to leave. Keep in mind they eat two times before we leave and have snacks so really there is not a lot of free time to just play and be average 14 month old babies.
With that being said, Brody's Vision Therapist (VI) comes out this Thursday. I'm also looking at aquatic therapy and hippo therapy. We currently have Fridays off so I'm hoping we can continue to have that. I want so badly for the kids to catch up and drop all these therapies but I know we have a ways to go before that can happen. Until then, we will just keep on keeping on.
