Growing up Fast


We have been trying to teach her how to ride a 2 wheeler for weeks now.   Today, Jason and I go to the grocery store while Rickie and Olena hang out back at home.  As we are coming back, I was focused on the neighbors cat in the street while warning J when I looked over and seen this tiny little girl zooming along.  I had to double take when I realized it was MY DAUGHTER!! I started yelling to Jason OH MY GOSH....Look it is Olena she is riding her bike.
We pulled up in the drive way and Rickie, while smiling ear to ear, said 5 minutes after we left O came into the house, told her to come watch her and she was riding without an issue.  Just yesterday the 3 of us ran up and down the street with her and wasn't too successful! guess today was the day! :)

Notice anything different?

A little accessory for her Aunt Rickie's wedding.  She kept telling us she wanted long hair like us for the wedding but we just never grew it out.  So voila! instant long hair! I do plan to make it look a lot nicer for the wedding.  Literally she walked in from playing in the sprinkler and I shoved it on her head.  Once her real hair is curled it will blend and look more uniform. I am proud at how well I matched the color, I was worried because I ordered it off line.

Being brave the best way she knows how.

Olena has a big issue with getting her nails clipped. This has been a problem since bringing her home and though it has improved a bit in four years, it is still a 45 minute fight just to trim her fingers and toes. She has never been hurt - she just has a problem with it due to her sensory disorder - she is extremely over sensitive when it comes to her feet or hands. I am cutting her nails the other day.... O: do you have to cut the baby one too? M: Yes! O:NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, not the baby one OK? M: I have to, it's really long O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, its my dragon claw. M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this! (as she attempts to put her toes in her mouth and act like she biting the nails off) M: that's just wrong....not to mention disgusting. I need to cut them. Please give me your foot. O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr
