The first day of 1st grade went VERY well. Kaitlyn was real excited when she got on the bus and even more when she returned home. She couldn't stop talking about her day. I like that they only have 1/2 day for the first day, so they ease into it. She will get her last nap for a while today (first day of school).
Sydney was VERY excited as well. She went to school with Mommy the first day. It was 1/2 the time also.
As for Makenzie... she is doing about the same. The fussiness is starting to subside FINALLY! Did I write that in my last blog? Anyway, we went to see the Developmental Clinic in Mid-Aug. It wasn't as comprehensive as in April. The doctor said she thinks she will stand with some assistance. That was about the only good news. She will continue to be fed via G-tube and we will be changing the food when she turns one. It will still be liquid, but prescription instead of formula. She will probably not walk or talk :( so we keep trying to hold a little hope she will find some enjoyment in life. She LOVES her little room that the school system has provided. It's like she's playing with a friend. I will try and post a picture. For those of you that have seen it, we have a new and taller one. It's working wonderfully. She still doesn't have total head control, which is very hard. I have tried to think of a way to put her in a sling to carry her around, but at 18.5 lbs and being a 'floppy baby', it's very hard to come up with a way we will both be happy. All the advice I have gotten on that subject, they have just suggested I put her in the stroller. I have sat her up in the stroller more often, so she's not always laying down. It's just hard to think of new ideas of the everyday routine.
I am starting a class!! Cake decorating! At least it will be time for myself and time for the kids with their dad, one on one. I have two birthdays to prepare for soon, so I thought this would be good.
Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts. Until next time...
