Catching up

Elliot spent the night with us last night as her mommy had to work and her daddy went to Arlington to help the Texas Rangers. She was walking down the hallway after breakfast saying "Oh dark". I went to turn on the light to her toy room and she said "No, drums", so we went to the office instead and she proceeded to play Pops' drums. Unfortunately for my family, I can't help but observe things from a therapists' perspective. :) I noticed that she has good bilateral integration, crosses midline well, has great receptive language, and spatial awareness, especially for a 20 month old. Just watch the video.

We also went to Oklahoma a few weeks ago to help Joe's mom and step dad as they are moving into their new home. Ashlan and Bryan also came up and we got to meet their new addition to the family, Kelty, a half Australian shepherd and border collie mix. He was quite a trooper considering they have no grass yet and it rained ALL weekend. Bryan had not been to Pop's, a restaurant, gas station, convenience store with a glass wall of (pure cane sugar) soda pop. We hadn't been at night and enjoyed the neon bottle structure.

Elliot sings/talks all of the time. Here are 2 more videos of EIEIO and partial ABC's, counting wouldn't upload. They were taken about 6 weeks ago, so she sounds more clear now.
