Helping Little Sister read the Night before Kindergarten. She started school a few days before Little Buddy.
With Sister at school, it meant some Momma/Bubby time. Back-to-school means back-to-school haircut! Looking handsome on the carousel!
Quick stop to look at puppies, just for fun!
Got to meet Daddy for lunch!
And then it was his turn!
School started off well and Little Buddy was happy...
Joyful boy after the first week of school!
...but then we got hit hard by the back to school germs!
Annnnndddd...here we go with the first case of strep in our house! Thankfully we caught it early and he was quickly on the mend.
Of course, it's still mindnumbingly hot here, so it's not like the beginning of school marks the end of summer. Thankfully, we've been able to keep cool busy with some fun.
Boat time with my best boy!
Supporting our MPS brother, C, at the first annual Pickle Festival benefiting Hunters Syndrome!
We remember. Never forget.
Height and Weight
Little Buddy weighed in at a strong 81 pounds and still handing in there at 55 3/4 inches.
Personality
Our loving and happy boy! We've been very happy with how well he's adjusting to this school year so far. Seems happy to be back to routine.
Cuddle time!
Developmental Changes
Overall, staying pretty stable. We've noticed decreased independent use of fork and spoon, so we are adding those into his occupational therapy goals to work on. And he's starting sit-ups in physical therapy...got to keep that core strong!
Fun Tidbits
My heart both aches and bursts when Little Sister takes on the role of big sibling. Little Buddy loves her so much, but I know it isn't easy for her to be the sibling of a special needs child. She's his super hero and she's grown up so much.
Super Sister posing after a Chuy's lunch and pushing her delighted brother through Target. I love both of them so much.
Until next month,
LMB
Little Buddy's Momma
