Early this morning we had Georgia color a birthday card for her Papa Rick who's 49th birthday (wink, wink) is next week and who was leaving to go home to Rochester today. Georgia never used to like to color, but over the past few days she has actually been asking to color and has been making dots and lines and circles much to her parents' amazement. So she worked really hard on Papa's card, making a lovely collage of blue, brown and green lines and circles. A few Dora stickers even made it on to the card with pride. We brought the card with us to therapy for fear that Papa would come across it in her room and the surprise would be ruined. Much to our astonishment, when Papa arrived in the gym, Georgia looked at the card, looked at Papa and took the card over to him. This may sound like a simple thing to most parents of 3 year olds, but this was truly the first time Georgia seemed to really understand making something for someone else. Needless to say, we were all a bit teary and Georgia had a huge smile on her face. If only we had the iPhone camera going for this one!
Not to have the card-giving steal all the thunder, Georgia also climbed stairs, did walking laps around the unit, constructed a killer Potato Head and even rode a tricycle today. And where she was lacking in the eating category last week (given all the vomiting), she made up for today... you should have seen this child eat! We of course were nervously standing close-by with a basin but she kept it all down. Good girl!
Potato Head or Village Person?
G & her entourage. Where are the paparazzi?
Pooped (well, not literally, still working on that!)
Head out on the highway, looking for adventure...
