Who's a big girl?

Lola has peed on the potty five times in the past two days - 4 yesterday, and she went first thing this morning.
I am in shock.
Totally and completely.
I will be heading out to the store to buy the cutest, most awesome gotchies I can find.

YAY FOR LOLA!

Family photos!

Lots of stuff going on lately - don't know where to start.

On Thanksgiving weekend, our awesome neighbour, Denise Landry, took some photos of our family at a nearby park. A momentous occasion for many reasons, but most importantly because we've never had a family photo taken. And certainly not a professional photo! We have a snap from when Lola was born, and another handful of pics taken when we visited the McGraths a few summers ago. That's it! Anyway, it was a great experience, and I'd highly recommend Denise - not just because she's super nice and talented, or my neighbour. She captured some amazing memories for us - and it's so incredible to have a view into Lola's recovery in such a vivid way.

Lola continues to do well in her therapies, and with Deannie at playschool. Today is her Halloween party, and she's going as a bunny. We put her in the suit and laughed so hard as she marched around the kitchen. She reminded me of the kid from A Christmas Story - the suit is that ridiculous. Of course there will be pics. Liam will be a magician, and he has a very big bunny to pull outta his hat!

New Lola tricks:

- using her right hand - she continues to try to pick up very large/heavy objects using both hands. It's really exciting!

- snapping her fingers - now, of course, this will only add to her diva-ness - as we jump to get her whatever she wants - but that's okay. She knows the snapping is funny and cracks up while she does it.

And the best news - we finally got the call to start the Keto diet. It will be next week or the week after. What we know for sure is we are next on the list, so as soon as they have a spot for us, we're in! I'm nervous, excited, and eversohopeful that this diet will be a miracle for Lola. So we'll be inpatient for 5-7 days to initiate the diet. It involves so much calculating that I'm a bit concerned I can do it - but I'll have great support from the dietician.
