Maddy Personality Is Coming Out More Everyday!

Today, I asked Maddy is she was poo poo. She told me no, and as I began to move toward her, she said repeatedly mine. She is too cute.

Now on to updates, since Maddy was put in the spica cast she has not been able to wear her Ponsetti shoes at night. Her feet, especially the right one, has been affected by that. We now have new Ponsetti shoes, yeah! She still has to wear a night cast on her legs, so the shoe place had to modify a bar for her shoes. I'll take a picture when I get a chance.

Maddy was evaluated for physical therapy. The ortho doc says she needs PT, then the PT place has to evaluate her to make sure she needs PT, whatever. So that starts this week.

My cousin also told me about ECI, they come to your house to do therapy with children under 3 years for a monthly fee. It is through the government and available to children that are behind developmentally. The payment works on a sliding scale. I have heard good things about it, the PT place recommended it also.

So this is our schedule:
Monday-normally consumed by playing and homework for me
Tuesday-Classes from 8am-3:30, that doesn't include the 1.5 hours drive both ways
Wednesday-PT and HW for me
Thursday-Class again
Friday-Hubby works overtime
And somewhere in there I have to cook, clean house, spend time with family, and this next week I will be getting temp custody of 2 more kids (18 months and 3 months).

Oh, and Maddy is 2 now. Yeah for Maddy!

Maddy is cruising still, but she has taken a couple of steps all by herself. I cannot wait until she is walking on her own again.

Well, I will let you know how PT is doing in a week or two.
