A day in the life of Ellie

Ellie starts each day with a series of stretches to get her legs going for the day. She is super strong and gives me a workout just holding her down to stretch her! Often it ends up with me holding her down with my legs and stretching her. Thank you "Super Why" for distraction! On Dr days Ellie and I head out with multiple bags... food/drink bag.... diapers.... blanky, baby, binky... and toys to keep us entertained! After 4 hours at just 1 Dr we head home for our daily nap! Dr days are often paired with different testing or retesting (8 hearing tests! really! and 1 more in Sept,,, after 8 can they not tell if she can hear!). Between weekly Dr appts we have 6 therapy treatments a month. We have been blessed with such a good group of Dr's and therapists, everyone is so nice.

Ellie is very much the bully between her and Alex. Between therapy, Dr's, and multiple streching session throughout the day she pulls Alex's hair, pinches, and bites,,,, and smiles and laughs the whole time. Ellie loves her babies, reading books, and playing with legos! Ellie is always full of smiles and loves each of her Dr's and therapist. They have quickly become such a good support system for us. The highlight of our day is when we here the door knob turn, if crawling was an Olympic sport Ellie would win hands down, and there's dad. The good guy who doesn't torture Ellie with streching and prodding from Dr's all day! and saves mom's patience!
