Lilly: Mama, if I was a pecker-bird (she meant woodpecker) I would land on your door and peck on it. Then you would hear, ‘knock, knock, knock’ and you would answer the door. And you would open it and say, “Hey! There’s a pecker at my door!”
Me: speechless
Sophie was sitting at the table quietly repeating the word ‘shit’.
Me: Sophie, what are you saying?
Sophie: Shit.
Me: That’s a bad word. You know better.
Sophie (getting defensive): YOU said I could say SHIT to pwactice saying my Rs!
Me: Nope. There aren’t any Rs in ‘shit’. Do you think maybe I said you could say CRAP?
Sophie: Ooooooh yeah! It WAS ‘cwap’! Cwap. Cwap. Cwap…

Evelyn has been doing great! She will be 11 months old this weekend and is pulling up to standing on her own! Sometimes she gets brave and even lets go for a few seconds. She sees her neurosurgeon again in December for another MRI, and she sees her newest (3rd) urologist again in December for a few more tests. The spina bifida Walk-N-Roll is in a few weeks and we are gearing up for that. We’ve been overwhelmed by the support we’ve received for the walk! Come join us if you can! www.sbakwalk.org
