Making Some Progress

Oh, man. I am so super excited right now. We are really making progress with Laila. She attends the Pre- K with a class size of seven and she was in daycare with about 16 kids a class with 3 teachers. Now that she is in Pre- K with a smaller class size she is really getting the attention she needs. But since she is behind in her communication skills her Dr. recommended that she take private speech therapy. Last time we did it took us several months before we could get an appointment. The 2nd time around it has happened so quickly. I am so excited. We will start her theapry on September 9th on top of the therapy she is getting at school! Yipppeeeee!!!!

Survived the first week of school

She blinked....


Ready to get in the car and go!!


So far so good. Laila is completing her first week of school as we speak. I must say I am very impressed with her behavior. She does an awesome job in the morning. At daycare she would cry almost every morning, who knows why. Maybe she didn't like it there. She only had one accident, which I contribute to her not being too familiar with her new surroundings. Other than that her teacher has reported that she had a great week.

I took more pics today. Her school has a little garden area, which I love. I just have a really good feeling about this place. And I know she will blossom.

My blog's attitude.

Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.

Presenting: Flower Girl Laila (wedding)

Here is Laila with her flowergirl dress on. As soon as we got there she had to get dressed immediately. There was a little sash pinned to it ( as you can see in the picture) that made it tight. We tried to get it over her head, no go. We tried to get it over her legs, no go. I eventually had to push her butt in to get the dress up. We later decided to just take the sash off so that it wouldn't squeeze the life out of her.



Here she is being accompanied by the parent of the other flower girl. They did really well, although Laila didn't drop a flower! She just walked behind the other little girl and stood in the correct spot.



Here they are with the bride. Both of the girls know her so they were pretty comfortable with her. They weren't quick to take pictures but she managed them well.



We joked about this during the ceremony. Laila would hold her dress up a little while she walked. Everyone mentioned how Miss USA tripped on her dress during the Miss Universe pageant, so they said she learned from their mistakes.

Thanks for looking.

Presenting: Flower Girl Laila (rehearsal)

Here we are at the rehearsal. We weren't sure what to do, but we showed up and braced the heat. They grillled some meat and had sodas, and juice. So it was almost like a get together of friends and family.
