Day 18-19 - Yarn along

My Tuesdays are just so FULL!

I have Bible study in the morning till lunch,

I rush home to tend to lil G, put her down for a nap

so we can go to Dance class.

Note to self: Do NOT tell Lil G that she needs to nap

so she can attend dance class when she wakes up!

Once again she has surprised me.

I hear giggling and squeaking of the bed at 2:45. Huh?!

She usually naps 3 hours.

I go into her room

the first word out of her lips is "Dance?!" (daaah-with the dance sign)

What is a mom to do but get her up and ready?

(instead of letting her sleep till the last.possible. minute.)

The whole time she is chattering about dance

and signing/saying "happy" I could have cried happy tears.

But I had already cried buckets.

grief has a way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it

So I just smiled with red-rimmed eyes

and kept working towards our goal.

GETTING TO CLASS ON TIME!

If you were to ask me,"what are your goals for Lil G and dance?"

(Peeking in at the big girls dancing and wanting to join in)

I might have to think about it.

heres the list:

• learning to follow directions
• having a teacher other than mama/ papa
• having something to look forward to each week
• learning to interact with other children appropriately
• learn spatial awareness. (lil G stuck her finger in her eye while signing bug- you put your thumb on your NOSE!)
• good posture
• learning how to gallop, and move her body parts appropriately on command
• utilizing something she LOVES to accomplish these things and SO MUCH MORE

Her teacher and I were SO PROUD yesterday.

She has come so far in the past few weeks.

This is a very good thing.

We get home late, hungry, tired. No blogging.

Putting two posts in one will just have to do

because I am not going to give up and its the best I can do!

this was to be todays post.........

While son was helping me buckle the carseat in the car for ballet I checked the mail.

And a package arrived!

I won a contest last week~ and the gift was just so perfect.

A book! "A good and perfect gift"

Written by Amy Julia Becker

I started reading it last night and got to page 68 before sleep started to settle in.

I have been knitting on the prayer shawl for a much needed gift.

Ive ripped out several rows and was so thankful to start knitting and making forward progress.

I dont do well with charts and will be writing out each row before I knit it from here on out.

Ive had to do this before. Sigh.

Two rows knit before bed.

joining up with Yarnalong and ginny today.

I remain,

Under His wings,
