For my 3 babies

I stumbled upon this poem yesterday...

Footprints

These are my footprints,
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints,
Never touched the ground at all.

Not one tiny footprint,
for now I have my wings.
These tiny footprints were meant,
for other things.

You will hear my tiny footprints,
in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel's tears,
of joy and not from pain.

You will see my tiny footprints,
in each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you,
if you just give me a chance.

You will see my tiny footprints,
in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind,
and call each one that grieves.

Most of all, these tiny footprints,
are found on mommy's heart.
'Cause even though I'm gone now,
we’ll NEVER truly part.

Happy New Year!

We are doing OK over here. Nina was sick earlier in the month.
Another double ear infection plus a cold that found its way into her lungs. So it was Albuterol every 4 hours plus we are now proud users of Pulmicort. She is currently on it 2x a day and next week will get it once a day until May.
I suspect tubes for the ears are in her future.

Since Nina is turning 3 soon(can you believe it) we leaving EI and getting an IEP. (I hope I am saying that correctly)
Not sure what/if she will qualify for services. Currently she gets PT and OT once a month.

I am reading through the questions for the IU:
Does Nina attend preschool? YEP since April 09 she goes 3x a week from 8:30-4pm (the best thing we ever did for her)

Favorite activities: Painting...she loves watercolors. playing babydolls...having a catch with Daddy...looking through books...legos...

Next question is what is she good at? what an odd question to me... What's an almost 3 year old good at? I am 35 and still do not know what I am good at...
She is good at saying "No I no like that"...I will have to think on this question...

What else? Potty training has stalled once again. She is just not ready and we are not pushing it.
We have not put the bed together so still in the crib. We waiting on it since she was sick and did not want to change her place around.

She is still a sassy little girl is very talkative. She loves when I paint her nails but hates getting her hair brushed. She still will only let me put in barrettes. She refuses anything with ponytails which makes me sad. (haha)
