This month has been incredible. Caroline has gone from being a baby to a little toddling person.
Unfortunately, Caroline had several visits to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta earlier in the month. First, she spent some time in the ER for an ugly case of croup. Then, she had an EEG scan to rule out seizures. (She has been having "fits of jerking".)
With the school year coming to a close, many of my Caroline pictures were school-related, as she spent most of her waking hours there.
After a week of tie-dying shirts, we kicked-off the last week of school with Field Day.
One of my favorite traditions is a Spirit Week the last week of school. This is the first time in seven years I have not jumped at the chance to dress up at every opportunity. I spent several mornings (when I normally would have been coming up with my own costume) making drastic last minute changes to Caroline's outfit.
Clown Day
My sleepy clown on her evening walk with Daddy.
Super Hero Day
This costume was stapled together just minutes before carpool began.
Caroline pasted me a love collage as I slaved away on her fancy custom cape. :)
Wild West Day
As you can clearly see, we had no less than three costume changes this day. She ultimately ended up using a bandana as a skirt.
On a totally different note, transferring is one of Caroline's newest lessons. She is still struggling to grasp the concept: while spooning, she likes to place the items on her spoon with her fingers, and while "pouring", she generally prefers using her fingers to transfer items to the other cup.
She has recently been introduced to the Pink Tower.
We're still working on Solid Cylinders.
At home, Caroline is getting very independent. For instance, the other day, she decided she could not wait for meal time and went ahead and made herself a snack.
Under normal circumstances, the child does eat at a table.
She has even started cleaning after herself.
After feeding herself dinner and wiping down the table, Caroline crawls up the stairs and gives herself a bath.
She then dries herself off...
brushes her hair and teeth...
and toddles off to her room for a story and song before bed.
She makes my heart smile.
Can't wait for next week's family trip to Disney!
