We had a great family day yesterday, a real treat with all of our busy schedules. Gemma had her 2-year check-up - average height, average weight, gigantic head, all is well, free book. And that was pretty much the whole visit. Painless, effortless, and no worries.
We packed lunch and ate on the way to the Y, where we all went swimming. These girls are such little fish! Gemma jumps in and bobs up and swims back to the side, all on her own (with the support of the floaty). Eleanor feels even more confident now that she can touch in the shallow end.
After long naps - hallelujah - we did a couple of errands and then went to a family concert. It was great to see the girls up with all the other kids singing and dancing - though El was reluctant at first because the music was loud. Eleanor found her friend from school, Jackie, to hang out with.
Jud started driving to PA today, but the snow storm prevented him from getting far, so we have two more days together. What a treat!
Eleanor has been reading more and more. It is amazing how quickly she figures out the nonphonetic words - like knight, caution, ph words. With her love of language, it shouldn't be a surprise.
Gemma's language is just taking off. Today, for the first time, she said our cat's name plain as day - M-i-L-o. This is a relief as previously, she was calling the cat a name completely indistinguishable from MAMA.
