Ben left this morning for Delaware so for the next 5 days I'm on my own! He comes home Friday afternoon so at least the kids only go 3 days without seeing him at all. We're all going to miss him but thankfully we'll be able to do a video chat on our phones.
Lily has really taken off with the walking! I'd say she walks more than she crawls now and I'm so thankful. To put it into perspective, Maia didn't walk until 15 months and adjusted the girls are almost 16 months so she's really not that far off track. She's doing such a great job - what a trooper.
Maia had her speech therapy appointment on Wednesday. It went well - what's funny though is that she didn't stutter at all the day before and the day of and she's barely done it since! I don't know if it has just "gone away" but I'm not knocking it. The therapist did give us some great tips on how to speak to her when the stuttering is happening so we're equipped to handle it if it recurs.
Now that Maia is three I'm hoping to enroll her in some classes so that she can get out and play with kids her own age. The trouble is that I can't do it during the day since I have the girls (if I have to participate with Maia I'd rather be able to give her one on one attention versus trying to wrangle two little walkers as well) so I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I can find some evening classes I can take her to since she stays up until 8 these days!
