Ella's speech is still progressing with leaps and bounds. She finished up the school year a few weeks ago. She misses school already! Ella had her dental surgery a few weeks ago. They fixed seven of her teeth and pulled one. (Now she whistles when she talks!!) The next step is getting her fitted for her obturator which will be done in Chicago. Then I think she's set for a couple years before they attempt to close her palate again.
The girls are adjusting slowly but surely to Mama and Baba having our own places. It's a little weird, but anytime parents split up it gets weird. Mary has had a couple night terrors, which is probably her brain's way of dealing with the stress of the changes. Mary stopped sleeping in her own room and is now sleeping on the top bunk in Ella's room. She won't say why, she just says that's where she wants to be. Perhaps it's because she is downstairs with me. Maybe.
Both girls LOVE summertime. They like swinging on their swingset. They love playing with water guns in the yard. They love riding their bikes in the park. We are going to try camping in a few weeks, but I have a feeling they are going to love it!
