Keillor was obviously ready for nap time!
Lots of excitement this past month! The big thing was starting at my Montessori school, of course. I love it there, although I don't love saying goodbye to Dad when he drops me off each morning. Most mornings I'm fine saying goodbye, but I still occasionally break down just to make Dad feel loved.
My teachers at school often mention that I'm a very good eater. And it baffles Mom and Dad, but I eat things at school that I refuse to touch at home. But at school I see all the other kids enjoying the food so of course I'll join in! Peas, carrots, mangoes, and blueberries are all on the school-only list. In fact, last week I asked for seconds on the peas and carrots at lunch.
My patience is tested every day with the amount of times I need to repeat myself when talking to Mom or Dad. But I usually remain calm and repeat the word as many times as they need. And to make it even more challenging, I'm learning Spanish at school so now I can confuse them in two languages! I'm getting good at counting to five on my own and when I say my ABCs along with Mom or Dad you can actually understand the letters now.
I've made some great progress on my walking this past month, as well. In fact, I took 10 steps on my own at my physical therapy session on Tuesday (for some reason I always do better at PT!). At home I can do 3 or 4 steps on my own when asked (we'll try to post a video later this week). I spend a lot of time squatting and "jumping" which is great for building up my glutes, too. When walking longer distances with Mom or Dad, I only need to hold on with one hand now and my gait has become much more natural over the last couple weeks.
I love pointing at airplanes whenever we're outside and I actually get to ride on one this coming weekend for a short trip to Minnesota. We'll bring back pictures for sure!
