Still no internet, but here’s an update. The medical appointments have only
increased for Gianna. She’s a
trooper and does just great even though they are scary for her. She grew half an inch, grew out of
three pairs of pants, and has commented at how pink her lips look in the
mirror. The dark circles under her
eyes are better, and she looks generally so much healthier. Now if we could only get some meat on
those “sad arms”. J The biggest appt recently was a week
ago when Gianna had her developmental exam done. This was to determine her cognitive, fine motor, gross motor
abilities as well as start her measure in English language and social
abilities. They said she would be a great kindergartener cognitively, as long
as the school will accommodate for her anxieties socially. I’ve been in contact with them and they
are helpful so far and we will be working to form a plan.
We are all working hard to learn how to be a functional
family group. No one is working
harder than Gianna. She is
learning what to do when she is mad, learning it is ok to be sad, and learning
how excited mom gets when she is happy.
She is eating way way better, and I’m finding what foods she
consistently likes and eats. She
ate all her food again yesterday!
I about threw a party. She
still sleeps really well, too. Our
bedtime routine is my favorite of the day. We end up in giggling fits. She knows all the motions to Let it Go and she tries to sing
along. Spoiler alert – it’s freaking
adorable.
Kian is really getting the hang of listening to his sister. I’ve tried to recognize him and make him
feel special in little ways. We
talk a lot about preschool and he’s super excited. Logan is still 2 years old. I don’t love his tantrums. Something that I love, though, is watching him try to say a
super long sentence. He stutters
and deliberates and starts over and it’s hilarious. I love my kids to pieces. They are the bees’ knees.
