Today, Tatum wanted to make a sign for our friends at Einstein’s. We love the bagels, coffee, but more importantly, we love the people. They are always so kind to us. So Tot showed her appreciation.
They hung it up which made her feel special! She trumps the ads anyday.
Then, she accompanied Daddy to the cabinet store. She always is fun to hang with.
But…guess who stayed home??
He has been staying HOME much more lately. Is this a trend????? Hmmmm.
This girl of mine…wow. I love watching her grow. She is determined, first of all, to improve her handwriting. She was holding the pencil with a fist-like grip.
A week ago: (the prayer is lovely but a bit sloppy).
Just yesterday, she held the pencil correctly and wrote with precision.
Then, her swim stroke. Another determined Tot! She wants to swim laps, and will move on from Jellyfish sooner than later. Everyday, in the pool, she practices her side-breathing. I’m so proud of her focus! She watched me swim the other day, and BOOM. That afternoon, she was doing it too. A natural! She’ll be in Octopus soon.
When I say BRAVE, I mean, her attitude is so positive!!! She had to get an appliance put in her mouth to help her break a bad habit. SHE WANTED IT!!!
She got fitted last week.
Cooper joined her to give her some support.
When she was done, she smiled and showed us.
See mommy?
Now, all day, I just felt so bad for her, but she didn’t complain once! Eating is so very hard for her, and it will be for 3 months. YET…she said, “I’m going to make it work, mommy. I don’t want to suck my fingers anymore.”
Again, she is determined!!! WOW. I love her heart, and I love her strength.
The other day, I had a big meeting on ZOOM. It’s a conference call with video. She was very quiet, but after that, she wanted my attention. I had to really focus on my work.
She played at my feet and really did not allow me to concentrate. I shared that I was upset with her and this is what I got.
She’s under the table in the picture, and there I am trying to work. Oh how cute.
Later, we worked it out and she did some art. WOW.
Emojis all over the place. Then, it was time to GLITTER GLUE!
So proud of you, girl. Sometimes, I just cannot focus on you, but you make the best of it.
