The kids have been having an amazing time this summer. Swimming, check. Hanging out with everybody, check. Lola has started to scoot across the floor on her bum. She really wants to get moving. She's also been eating more bites of yogurt, pudding, chocolate milk - amid lots of protesting! It's still a step in the right direction. She has been working with a physiotherapist once a week - she's been coming to the house and she is amazing. She has gotten Lola kneeling and holding onto the couch (with support) - she's trying to get her to be more stable through her hips and legs as we inch towards standing. She's been trying to communicate with us more, and has been saying "up" when she's ready to wake up in the morning. She speaks volumes with her eyes lately, almost like she's pleading with us to understand. When you tell her stories, or explain things to her, she listens carefully and smiles at all the right spots. She is amazing. She is very interested in watching other kids, and is dying to get up and run after them. She has done a couple of cool yoga moves - ending in some crazy positions. Her core strength is insane. She can do the splits, she can put her stomach on the floor, she can pull her legs behind her head. Future gymnast?
