Home for two weeks

We have been home for two weeks. Yesterday, I was ready to tear my hair out due to all the temper tantrums early in the morning. Today was great though. We went to a local playground with Uncle Mike and also to see my aunt in the nursing home. Claire loves to go places now. Last week when we took her to a playground she was afraid and would only sit on my lap. Today, she was off and running. She must have gone down the slide 25 times. I think Uncle Mike was getting tired.

Claire's test results from last week were all fine. No intestinal parasites I am happy to say. I was sure we all had giardia by now. This little one has peed on the floor twice in anger since arriving home. She has quite the temper. This morning she hit Carly so I made her sit in time out from where she threw her bowl of cereal. It's a good thing there was no milk in it. She picked it all up within five minutes which is great progress from last week.

We have an appointment this Tuesday with early intervention to see where she is at developmentally. I am curious as although I know she is a little behind there has been much progress in two weeks. She is walking much steadier and also trying to say some words. The temper tantrums are diminishing also especially after teaching her sign language for the word "potty".

I have also have an appointment with an excellent cleft doctor this July. He saw her photos and wants to do her nose revision this Fall.
