Avery and C QP

Disclaimer: I got nothing in the way of paper craftiness...work is crazy busy. So instead, I share a quick page just for grins (since they take about two minutes to complete!).

I so love making a quick page with a favorite pic. This one of Ave and C (look at the delight!) was made with this QP from Kim (♥ it so!).


Positive note of the day: Took the girls to the mall this afternoon for a couple hours to kill time while T was at his grandma's (they love to play in the indoor playground, look at dresses and have a snack while we are there).

I let Ave crawl a lot even if she ends up getting so dirty! Some people look irritated but most comment on how cute she is (and how fast she motors). I find myself telling a lot of them about her CP as if to justify why I am letting her crawl everywhere. She delights in being independent and cannot sit in a stroller for any length of time (especially when she sees her older siblings running around). And, while she is still small enough to get away with crawling (and drooling...a common CP issue), it will be harder to explain as she gets older. I know we will get there in time but for now, causing terror at a ankle height is going to be all that Ave does!

I adore this LO! The picture is priceless!!! I did the same thing with Cort when she was little and did have people stare and had occasional comments....but I didn't care....they didn't understand the circumstances. I am so glad Avery is motoring around so well!!!

Great page Allison!!

as for the CP - I find myself explaining often. Jack has leg braces so I get lots of questions about that - and I find it helps actually. I once had a mom (a neurophsycologist at that!) ask me why I didn't let Jack out of his carrier more to move around on his own, and I was so tired of all the 'advice" that I explained "Jack has CP, he can't even sit by himself, let alone stand, crawl or walk." Needless to say, I was peeved. You let Ave move as much as she wants (and YOU want!) and ignore the looks!!!
