Bianca X!

Today was Bianca’s last day at her current school : (  we will miss all her teachers, therapists and everyone else.  Graduation yesterday was very sweet.  She surprisingly kept her hat on for quite a while!  Happily we didn’t miss graduation as we overslept and missed the bus.  Thank goodness for the bus beeping to wake us all up!

Tomorrow, all new bus, school, teachers, therapists and friends!

We are also very excited about signing up for dance class with two friends from school : )  Can’t wait!

wee!

Bianca signed potty yesterday so we went to the bathroom and sat her on the potty.  Lo and behold, she peed!  She’s been signing potty the past few weeks and this was the first opportunity we had to go to her potty.  Woohoo!  Nothing like a pot of pee to make us excited. TMI?

8.31 update: no success the past week until before bedtime tonight!  She signed potty and headed to the bathroom and wee! : )

hey!  Bianca’s starting to actually SAY words!  woo hoo!

Hi, Bye, More, Ball, Bird, Daddy, Mama, Dog, Eyes, O

We went to the cdls awareness day in Mt Kisco…thanks to Ingrid for arranging a great event!
We met lots of great people, had fun and yummy cake. : )

Just this past week, we’ve been able to get Bianca to verbalize “eyes”, “more”, “ball”, “hi”, “bye”, “daddy”, “mama”, “up”.  It’s been a great speech week!

We like spring!  Lots of outdoors and back yard.  Daddy found a slide, a rocking fish and a picnic table, weeee!  Free is good.  We like free.

Bianca recently learned signs for grass and buggy.  She likes to touch buggies.

hmm…so I’m awake at 3am after falling asleep with Bianca at 8pm…so here’s an update finally!
Bianca’s vocalizing more, still no words (although she can say mama, daddy).  There was a note from school that she said “Maggie” although I’m finding that hard to picture/hear.  She does tip toes, ikot ikot (turns) and skipping.  Lots of running!  Good thing we’ve moved and no longer have neighbors underneath us.  And she’s climbing up and down stairs with minimal assistance.  She’s now at 18lbs and 30″.  Not that heavy except when she wants to be carried for prolonged periods of time!
