Ella’s after cast recovery is going well. Yesterday she still wanted carried a lot, but today she is walking on her own.
We are going swimming later this morning at my parents which will help her leg get stronger.
Taking things one day at a time!

CHOP called and asked if we could bring Ella in this coming Wednesday to remove her cast!!!!
She is excited, I’m excited, Josh is excited!!!
Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts for our precious girl!!!
That pool better be open and waiting for our arrival cause this Momma and Ella want to swim!!!!
Cooper locked Ella and me out of the house. We were blowing bubbles and he went in the house through the garage entrance and I called to him asking him to come back out. He didn’t show up so I checked on him and found the door locked.
After calling Josh about a spare key, I retrieved it with Ella and Ebony in tow and got into the house.
Found Coop at the locked door with a play knife in hand, he was trying to open it!!!
All is well!!!!!
Watching Jake and the Netherland Pirates with Ella I suggested we sing the song when they sang it and…Ella in her sweet voice said: Some of “my people” don’t know the song.
I asked her: Who are your people? She replied: MoMom and PoPop, Me, Cooper and Daddy.
How many years til I am not in the class of “my people”..I wonder.
I have been made fun of, called a Mom overly prepared and one who packs too much….but today I learned a valuable lesson…go with what feels right. It feels right to me to always have a spare set of clothes or 2….
Thinking Coop dirtied his diaper, I stopped at Valley Forge National Park on the way home from the airport. We get inside and I find that Cooper is soaked, his whole bottom half drenched like he was in a rain storm.
The one time I thought, I won’t need spare clothing, the kids will be in their car seats the whole time.
Go with my Mommy Gut….bring the spare clothing next time!
Cooper just had a nice afternoon swim with his PoPop and Daddy! He used swimmies and did a good job for his first time using them. His teeth are a chattering!!!!!
