Accepting Independance

    One obsticle that clearly bothers mom more than Ellie is going places and her wanting down but unable to walk. Will people step on her, what will she get into, will she scratch up her legs, ruin her clothes and shoes from dragging them, and if she gets herself somewhere I do not see her go can she tell someone when she needs help!
   Ellie screams and cries when she sees other kids and brother Alex down running around and playing while she is in her buggy. She does not care that they are running and standing while she crawls, she just wants to go anyway. She also must have no pain receptors, she will crawl on dried out grass, cement, and wood decks that leave splinters, grass sratches, and scrape her legs,,, oh yeah and wholes in the toes of her shoes! Of course I am reluctant to let her down to crawl unless it is indoors but that is not fair either.
    As always Ellie does fine. We had a picnic this weekend, outside.... the worst place for her to be down,,,, and she did so well. It was the first time I just let her go outside without restrictions. I was so proud of her! Great job Ellie.

Thanks Chris and Karissa
