Ally has been spending a lot of time in her room lately. Playing with her dolls and organizing her room. She especially loves lazy weekend mornings when she can hang out in her pajamas for a long time. She is wearing a hat Lauren gave her for Christmas.
Ally goes to physical therapy at Children's Hospital twice a week. She has been using the treadmill.
After each session I buy her a smoothie and she sucks it down as we drive home or to school depending on the time of the appointment.
Girl loves her some straw-banana smoothie!
Carl and Cloey are starting to establish a truce.
At school for multicultural night students made a family crest.
We tried to show the USA, and things we do together, travel (airplane), family traditions (watch football, celebrate holidays), Ally's birth country of Guatemala. Ally's favorite thing to do is gymnastics, a picture of us with Cloey and we think the words, Fun, Love and Kindness describe our family values.
There it is hanging at school.
I was cleaning out one of my purses and found this notepad of Ally's. She wrote this all on her own. She is so thoughtful.
One Saturday recently we went shopping at her request to the mall. She walked the whole time, even though she as in pain and limping more than usual. We had a lot of fun. She had a budget for clothes, and for the AG store. She did great. Above she is wearing a new sweater.
That same Saturday Becky chaperoned the lock in at church for the youth group. That meant I slept with Cloey alone. ugh Cloey kept me awake most of the night.
It was Super Bowl Sunday the next day. Becky made some yummy taco cups and guacamole.
Cloey was so tired from being up all night with Becky home she slept thru the entire game.
It snowed enough for some shoveling to be done one night. Cloey stood on the couch watching Becky the whole time she was outside. If Becky left her view she barked.
Even Ally shoveled. She had fun, and was really good at it.
One night Ally pulled out all her special things. She was having a hard time getting to sleep and ask emir she could. I found her like this later that night.
Before we left for Florida we all went and got pedicures.
We've been busy. Keeping up with regular blogging is hard, but I am going to try and continue as much as I can. I figure if I take pictures I should do something with them.
