I can't believe the last time I wrote it was December. Time sure does fly. January improved over December but my husband still spent time in and out of the hospital and in the infusion clinics receiving steroids to help with his symptoms. Two different medications later, we've found one that works. Unfortunately, he still suffers from some symptoms that are not likely to go away.
Since Daisy's one year she has changed so much! She runs and talks in sentences. She makes herself very clear. She loves to be helpful and goes out to feed the animals every day, cleans up her toys, and tries to clean her tray after eating. She's not always the most successful but she tries.
This week, she's learned to use possessive terms. She identifies what is "Mama's", "Dada's", and the like. We also caught her singing. The first song she "sang" with was Shakira's "Loba". She has also become a fan of attempting to dress herself. She's good with shirts but not as good with pants.
Daisy still swims every week in her swim class and she's getting really good at it. We've added gymnastics to the mix and she's getting very good at that too. It's teaching her to be flexible, coordinated, and, most importantly, to be patient. Like Mama, not one of her strong suits. She's an ace at the trampoline (we got one for her a couple months ago at home$ much better than kids older than her. She's good at the bars and has a strong grip and each week she improves her balance on the beam. Her favorite, though, is the floor where she gets to climb and tumble. She will climb on anything!
As for me, I took Microbiology in spring and got an A by the skin of my teeth. I had the summer off and am just starting physiology now. Cross your fingers, my first quiz is this week. Work is great, very busy but fulfilling. I've had to fill in some Saturdays for lack of a manager but we'll have a new one soon. That's all I can think to update for now. I'll try to write again soon but no guarantees of course.
