Appointments and School

What a great day we had yesterday.  You should see Hope!  She's been amazingly alert, with smiles and coo's and even swallowing her secretions so she can sit up in the KidKart.
We had our OT and PT appointments for the girls yesterday (Occupational Therapy and Physio Therapy), and I'm sure this is the first appointment (in a LONG time) where Hope has been anywhere close to alert...
I am so encouraged to see her looking so good and I really hope this continues.  Ashley did well too.  Heather and Marlies were happy to see Ashley looking so good in her Convaid Stroller and we've decided that she'll use that stroller to go to school.  Officially, it was Ashley's last day under the care of Heather (PT) and Marlies (OT) because today Ashley will switch over to the school team of therapists. 

As you can see below, Ashley gave her therapists some nice smiles to say 'good-bye'...
Today at 1pm we will take Ashley to her school to meet her EA (educational assistant) and the rest of the team at the school.  Her first day of school will be on Monday.

Brodie left this morning for his first day of Grade 2.  He was pretty excited, although not too thrilled that we're back to 'school-year rules' of TV only on the weekends.  So much happening, I love it!

biI am so glad to hear the girls are both doing so well. I had read your other blogs but could not think of what to say. I keep your family in my prayers. Hope everything goes well for Ashley's first day at kindergarten.
