Waiting for OT

All ready for eating and chewing therapy with the Occupational Therapist.

Green drinks and Sadie

It's a good thing Sadie does not care that her milkshake is green. I added a little extra spirulina on accident and her drink is GREEN! Yummmo and healthy!

Bye Bye

Omg-
Sadie said bye bye to a church lady as she was trying to get in her office. I said, say bye bye- she said it.
Tears of joy over such a big accomplishment. :-) way to go Sadie. I love you so much.

our monday

The day started off dropping Shelbi off at summer morning camp. Only 3 hours to get to the grocery store and Occupational Therapy for chewing therapy and back to pick Shelbi up at noon.

Yogurt

Caught with a tub of yogurt when I wasn't looking for 60 seconds. Ha

Sadie has strep again

when I'm 7

In our normal routine, the girls played on the swing set last evening before dinner. Because of muddy feet and knees, the girls took a bath together. 

These days, I've encouraged Shelbi to bathe alone so that both girls can have some privacy separate from each other.  Tonight was different simply because they both had muddy feet. 

After their bath, I was getting Sadie dressed and I didn't realize it, but Shelbi was watching me.  She was already quickly dressed.  Sadie must have been making her normal vocalizations.  Shelbi asked, "Mommy, when I'm 7, will I be like Sadie."

Taken back, I said, "Baby girl, what do you mean, will I be like Sadie?"  She said, "Will I start saying, 'babababa?"

I hugged her after that and tried to reassure her that she didn't have a disability, and that she would be able to talk when she turns 7. 

Trying to explain that to a four year old is tough, but feeling it as I'm explaining it, reminds me that Shelbi is every bit, living this life, as I am.
