Miscellaneous Ramblings

Last week Alyssa and I went to Stride Rite with Grandma to get Alyssa's feet measured and get some new shoes. When the lady told me that my little girl was in a size 5 1/2, I almost fell over in my chair. But her sandals are a size 2 1/2, how could she be a size 5 1/2??!!? So yes, the worst mama in the world is me...for shoving my little girls foot into a much too small sandal. (But in my defense, I put the sandal against one of her new 5 1/2 shoes and it isn't that much smaller...but I still felt horrible. But, Alyssa got two new pairs of shoes...yay!!

We signed Alyssa up for Gymboree this past weekend. We decided not to do Wee Wigglers any more and switch to Gymboree. My reasoning is because #1 - We can go to an extra 2 open gyms a week for a total of three classes a week. We don't have to go, but it is nice to have the option to go. #2 - Wee Wigglers wasn't very structured. Alyssa would go there and play with a basket full of toys. She could do that at home. When we went to the Gymboree open house, Alyssa was interested in doing some of the obstacles they had. And she LOVED the parachute!!

Tomorrow Alyssa has her physical therapy evaluation. I am so looking forward to them telling us that Alyssa doesn't need to see a physical therapist any longer. I can't wait until they see Alyssa walking! They will also evaluate her fine motor skills, speech, and cognitive thinking again. I am curious as to what they will say about her speech, since she really doesn't say a lot right now. It is probably nothing, but I would like to hear that from them! It seems like she tries to say a lot, but it doesn't come out like it is supposed to. She has the rhythm of words, but not the correct annunciation. I guess it is hard to explain.

And lastly, hopefully we will hear from the bank tomorrow about the loan. Tomorrow will be 7 days, so I will be calling if I don't hear from them.
