The Preschool Years

THAT IS
RIGHT, MY BABY ISN'T A BABY ANYMORE, CUES SHE'S A PRESCHOOL GIRL!

With all of the, if, ands, or but running through my mind, I let Emily tell us what she could or couldn't do! 
Though, for the most part, she is without an audible voice, with her smile and charm, She says, "don't get in my way, I am here to stay!"
Granted, she might require a little more help than the rest of those 12 or so children that are in her class, but she is there and making her own way!
She has things to show and prove like anyone else!  GOD is guiding her path and as she grows to understand that.....

Here she is on her first day of class; just see the eagerness in her eyes!!!

Summers Over

To think of all the hurdles crossed and the ones yet to come
One in every 500 births result in some sort of hydrological condition....
The love of sisters no matter what

Holding her still in the ophthalmologist office before getting new glassess
Casting  for new braces on the left is the braces from a year ago April to August 2013 the size dif


Hydrocephalus, says Emily has low vision, but she does see to maneuver around and find
While her sister can climb to the highest height
Emily knows at 3 years old what she can and enjoys
The dentist she knew when we were there what was going to happen actions say more than words
And she wasn't too impressed
and going to the local fair rounded out the summer


And now on Friday we'll see how she does at the recreation center preschool with no assistance because the government does not provide the funding for 3 year olds
She went to a similarly structured program in the summer and did alright with big sister by her side which won't be the case during the school year.
