Malia and I took Daisy to the vet for the first time today! She had a check up and the vet said she would be a minimum of fifty pounds! We had to wait around for her parasite test results to make sure we didn't need to get her some medicine (whew) and so while we were waiting, I picked her out a bed! I decided to get a big one so it'll fit her growing self.
Malia decided it was hers.
Oh! And then, Malia turned into my little helper. I was putting things away and in the middle of walking from one room to another over and over again, I looked over at Malia and she had gathered some toys and walked them over to the toy box. Such a sweet girl!
And the last picture of today's post. We got Liam's CDC pictures back today... Oh Liam.
Liam went through a phase where he loved pushing Malia over. Malia was a tough little thing and didn't really cry but it obviously was a behavior we were interested in stopping. I talked to a few different people- mostly his therapists- and tried different strategies. And just like with everything else you try to keep your child from doing or try to make your child do- one day he just quit. You can read, discuss, plan and he's just going to stop pushing her one day, he's just going to walk one day, he's just going to leave that cabinet alone one day, he's just going to let you brush his teeth one day. Well I don't even know when he stopped pushing her over but now he has a new thing he likes to do- and it's a positive! He loves sharing. Mostly food. He will break off a tiny (virtually too small to see) piece of whatever he's eating and give it to Malia. Toys are a little more difficult to share but this was right after he handed her the Lego in her hands. It just warms my heart!
