Due to my lack of posts as of late I have a random smattering of photos to share but first (drum roll please) I have MAJOR news to share . . . . . .!!!!
Ellie just put her entire head underwater and swam across the hot tub!!!!
This is big BIG news for a kid that would barely put her nose in just months ago.
It just cracks me up because Ellie has always been this way - she won't do something AT ALL for months and then all of a sudden she does it completely and perfectly.
Examples - talking . . . I remember we had her evaluated by the Early Intervention Program because she hadn't spoken one word at 20 months. I swear the next day she started talking in sentences.
Walking . . . this is the kid that never crawled but one day got up and walked across the room.
Potty training . . . would have nothing to do with a kid potty but once she decided to go on the toilet she has NEVER had an accident!
School work . . . she refused to practice writing her letters for the longest time but then all of sudden she could write her name.
HA!
I must remember this . . . she is a kid who waits until she can do something well before she shows it off. She works on new skills quietly and then BAM! she's got it!
