Princess

My update on my Princess. What can I say about her without making it seem like she is the best child? She is an amazing little girl that is no longer a toddler but a little girl. She is turning 4 soon and I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday we were trying to get pregnant with her, then when I became pregnant we just couldn't wait to meet her. When she was born, she was everything we had dreamed of. By the time she was 6 months old she was already talking, and by 15 months was using complete sentences to tell us what she wanted. She to this day is a little chatter box (I wonder where she gets it?) and just makes us laugh constantly. She will be attending pre-school for her final year before heading on to kindergarten. I don't even want to begin imagining it. She finished up her first year of dance school, and did fantastic with it. We will be having her attend again in September. For now though, we are enjoying the summer with Grammie J and the warm weather that we have had on and off. We can't believe how quickly these last four years have gone, if only we could put the time on hold for her to stay this age. I would love it!

Little Miss

I have been meaning to update everyone on my Little Miss. She is now 20 months old. Can you even believe that?!? She is still being seen by Early Intervention for her speech and language development, but what an improvement from where we had started. When we first had an evaluation on her she was going on 12 months, and some of her milestones were only at a 9-10 month level. I was devastated, but with the help of Miss P we are improving by leaps and bounds. She is now saying more and more each day. She can now say "up please", "down please", "more", "binkie", "mama", "papa", "no", "kitty", "meow", "please" "thank you and thanks". The list goes on and on now. I was so concerned with if she was ever going to talk that I almost got this overwhelming pit in my stomach thinking about it. Now with this improvement, I feel like we have defeated all the thoughts that I had running through my mind. In about a month, we will have that evaluation again to see if she still qualifies or not for the program. This time around I will go into it without worrying what she Can't do, but what she Can do. She is such a joy to have, and each day when I see her smiling back at me, I couldn't imagine life without her. She is the best little girl that I know. Pictures to follow soon, and also a posting on Princess. Princesses birthday is fast approaching, and I can't believe that she will be 4. Yes, you read that right, 4 YEARS OLD, where did the time go?!?!?
