valentines day

From Feb.09

Meme had a "wild" valentines party Saturday night for the kids. Above Hailey is making heart shaped brownies for the party. They were a hit. You can see below the kids were wild dancing to Hannah Montana and sugared up. Meme even had a table in the "kids" room with chips, cheese doodles and other snacks.

As the night wore on they tired out ....

bathroom play and PT update

Lately, Hailey has taken to playing in the bathroom. Why, I do not know, but here is her party on the bathroom rug in front of the tub.

When I came in to check on her she was sitting up on the little table in the bathroom. She looked so cute I couldn't resist taking a couple pix.

Later, she decided to have snack time. Notice her "friends" sharing snack with her. Her dog is sitting in her chair and she other animals around the table. Of course they need real crackers as well.

Hailey is still in PT and doing great! We actually will now be going every other week. What we have been working on is loosening up her upper leg and strengthening other areas, such has her abs and calf muscles. She has been doing great and she now sits crossed legged. Skills we have been working on are climbing stairs without crawling or tripping, jumping with both feet and landing on her feet and standing on one foot. She is improving in all areas. It is amazing what a little push in the right direction can do.

A funny side note, she is given exercises to do at home, but of course she does not like to do her exercises for mom so what does a mother do, use mind games :-) ha, ha

She, like most kids does not like bedtime and will do anything to get out of going to bed so I schedule bedtime with a little wiggle room because every night just as I am putting her to bed she decides it is a great time to do her exercises and she does a great job because she is so excited to be getting out of bedtime. Its quite funny, but works wonders!
