Something New

Garrett has started to pull up on his knees at a door in the house and try to open the door knob. This is a really huge thing for him to do. It shows that he is able to think about how to get somewhere that he wants to go. He knows his mommy may be in that room and he wants to get in there. He has seen us open the door so many times and he finally decided that he can do it also.
When you have a special child like Garrett, the little things are so important. We never know what he will or will not be able to do in his world, so anything makes us thrilled. This particular thing shows gross motor, fine motor and cognitive development all in one thing. Really cool.

As Kennedy grew and developed, things like this were taken for granted. She developed so quickly, we wanted her to slow down. When I was pregnant with Garrett, I wished for a tiny baby that would not speed through infancy like she did. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

I enjoy every little thing Garrett does and every big thing that Kennedy does. She has become so much more brave. She went from being terrified of having water in her face, to jumping off the diving board. She would not get on the monkey bars because she was too afraid. Now, she sits on top of the monkey bars and is learning how to hang on them and walk with her arms. She even road a roller coaster yesterday! That was a gianormous step for her. I am so proud of my Chicken Little!

Kennedy is also doing so well with her homeschooling. She is doing very well with learning multiplication. She is an awesome reader. She really needs to work on her spelling and writing, but she gets that from me. She loves science...probably because I am a science geek. She is all about the body parts...again because biology is my thing. She is being very lazy lately, but apparently that is an age thing since all of her friends are having the same issue.

Well, that is all for today. Happy Easter.
