Little Miss Mae Walking

So we ordered this walker, hoping it might actually get here in time for school in the fall.....well, it showed up already, and Little Miss Mae loves it and wants to start using it now.  I suppose we'll just let her, although she has plenty of room to grow into it! 

(It's a "Nurmeo Neo" gait trainer, for those of you interested in those kinds of details.) 

And she's also doing a great job walking on her own too.  

She is working hard at physical therapy each week to gain the skills she needs to walk!

(For those of you new to the blog, Little Miss Mae has cerebral palsy,

which limits her mobility and speech, but not her determination or sweet spirit!)

Birthday/Moving Week!

Yes, K-Rae requested a "wet dog" party for her birthday.

Fortunately, the weather cooperated with her request.

Painting dogs.

Ice-cream cake was also the request...and Creamie and Grandpa showed up as a special surprise!

And for some insane reason, in case throwing a birthday party wasn't enough, I decided this week would also be a good week to let the girls move into the master bedroom together.  This has been talked about for awhile now, but actually pulling it off was way more work than I anticipated.  (Thanks for your help RyDaddy and for entertaining the girls Creamie and Grandpa!!!) Here's the final product.....a bunk bed is coming for K-Rae soon, and maybe coordinating furniture at some point....not that they care, that's more for me! 

First time to see new room.

Yes, I gave up my huge closet....now they have an official "toy room!"
