Braelyn and Gwendolyn have had a busy but uneventful start to 2012. Most of their time is consumed with their "cooolers" (as in "colors"), which is their way of asking for crayons so that they can color... Check that, it's their way of asking for crayons so that Mom and Dad can color. For some reason, the girls tend to get the most enjoyment out of watching an adult shade in a coloring book.
Gwendolyn did have her annual review with First Steps (the state agency that handles the majority of her therapy and aids until she turns three and can get them a school). When reviewing the notes from last year, it was a great reminder of how good 2011 was to her. She continues to do better and better in her walker... However, we will be happy when her latest braces come in as the current versions she's wearing still aren't fitting right. Gwendolyn always seems to slip a foot out of her sneakers when she's in them. As you can imagine, that can be quite a deterrent when it comes to walking, especially given her floppy ankles.
Braelyn received her first official "owie" the other day when she dropped a toy on her foot and it took some skin off one of her toes. Now, every time we go to either put on or take off her socks, she points to the toe with a shrill and asks Mom or Dad to kiss her "owie."
Ah the things parents do to ease the suffering of their children. (Or in this case, preceived suffering!)
;)
Have a great week everyone!!!
