Sorry about the short post last night, but 2am on a work night is my limit. Katie really did have a good day yesterday hanging out with her grandparents at home while the rest of us went to school. She was full of energy in the morning and had a nice two and a half hour nap in the afternoon to keep her going into the evening. When we got home from school she was swinging with her grandparents. Each person had his or her own swing and they all looked very happy and content.
Shortly after we arrived at home, Katie's physical therapist arrived for a check up and was very pleased with the progress Katie has made in the last week. She is walking much more often on her own now and even dancing and spinning as long as she is holding on to someone's hand. As long as we can keep her up on her feet like that, her muscles and tendons wont atrophy and tighten, making walking later much more difficult.
Amy and I did not spend much time at home with the kids last night. After the physical therapist left, we made them a quick dinner and had to head right back to school for our Freshmen Step-Up night which is an event for all of next year's incoming freshmen. Katie and Josh didn't mind being left behind too much, because their Nana came to take our place as we headed out. Josh was asleep by the time we got home, and Katie was still wide awake. She persisted until almost 10 o'clock before falling asleep. She then woke up at 5am. Needless to say she is tired this morning and in desperate need of a nap already.
I wish my parents good luck in converting the tired, grumpy little girl I left them with this morning into a rested, happy little girl by this afternoon.
