Little climbers

Yesterday the girls very actively played on the indoor play area of our mall. They played a little together but more separate (both alone and with new friends). 

While Adelaide was learning to stretch, reach, and climb successfully, poor Guinny fell and injured her right forearm and elbow. After monitoring G's pain and lack of activity we left the mall and went to an urgent care facility. The x-ray revealed fluid around her elbow. We were released after getting care instructions on care for her deep bruise. I hope she heals and feels better real soon!!

Chompers!

As of yesterday, Adelaide has 4 teeth! Her top 2 (front) teeth broke through. uh-oh, she's already started grinding them like her Dzia Dzia, grandmama, and uncle. I know it's pretty normal during this phase but it sounds so painful. She's running a fever and doesn't want me out of sight tho still sleeps through the night. :)

G's classes

Big sister is excelling at swimming. She completed her first session and earned a ribbon and t-shirt. I decided to continue through the summer (at least). Based on her progress and abilities, they suggested to skip the next level. That's pretty cool. And in gymnastics she's learning and gaining strength and confidence. They complemented her progress and noticed her upper body strength. Occasionally she still gets upset when class is over and it's time to leave, but I'm reassured by the teachers that if there is any issue to have it's that (vs. being scared or uncooperative).

Also, we have started our home school program (a week in). It's currently a bit hap-hazard/trial and error, but we are all learning and adjusting. We're working on pre-k/kindergarten curriculum. We are still tweaking our schedule for the summer. It's nice to be making progress. I'm excited about my upcoming homeschooling seminar, playgroup get together, and field trips.

And she's off...

As of Saturday Adelaide walks more than crawls. Though she's been pulling herself up and balancing herself for a long while, she practiced with a few steps and a few more. But seems like this weekend she decided to just go for it. Hahaha, I imagine her thinking: Crawling, I'm over it!
