Hello, world! Adi turned three!
Contrary to Gedalya's belief that she *can't* turn three because she knows what "ama-ah" means. "Ama-ah" is Adi's word that she uses when she doesn't know what else to say. She might call me, "Mama. Mama. Mama. Mama." And I say, "Yes, Adi?" And of course, Adi didn't have anything planned that she wanted to really say, so she says, "Ahhhma-ah."
What Gedalya really meant, of course, is that Adi still speaks baby language. But Zusha said, "Well, then you can't be five and a half, because you know what kuwana means and what kishkase means." (Triangle and cheesecake.)
Gedalya considered this and allowed Adi to turn three.
We had a mini party on her real birthday on Simchas Torah, and tomorrow (today? Whatever, Monday afternoon) we are having an official thing with party blowers, cake, and a crown.
And I don't think I have mentioned this on my blog yet... Adi will be going to school!
Next week Tuesday is her first day. Wowowow. We will say our goodbyes to the therapists. :( Two years... They have invested themselves emotionally into my baby, and now- this is it? It will be a hard goodbye. Or rather, five hard goodbyes.
I made a photobook for one therapist and photo tote bags for two others. I still have two therapists that I need to think of gift ideas for, and soon! I don't have enough photos of them with Adi to make a whole book.
On Tuesday Adi will join me on a fun trip to the geneticist. We haven't gone in over a year. We had hit a dead end. The doctor has tested her for everything he could think of that she might possibly have. But as she gets older, some traits and features come up or become more prominent. He might be able to think of something else. I mean, she wasn't even walking last time that we went!
So I will post some videos of Adi doing daily things. The geneticist is really someone special. How many specialists are there that would go to a patient's blog to get a look at some things they wouldn't be able to see in a short office visit?
Yom Tov is over, and I am diving head first into reality!
And as promised, the photos of my second day of owning my new camera... playing around with it and learning the ropes.
Silly kitten Mushu.
Looking at the weehees... er, fishies... in the pond.
See them?
Gedalya's bounty. Plant paraphernalia never ceases to make this little boy happy.
