Amelie started her last year of Museum School last month. She is really excited to be in the big kid class which is mostly made up of people holding their kids back from kindergarten and homeschoolers. Here are a few photos from the first day.
The Children’s Garden 9.15.2014
In mid September I took the girls to the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden at the Dallas Arboretum. We had never taken Dani and I knew she would love to be able to explore, but I didn’t want to go in the heat of the summer. The place was basically deserted when we arrived. We saw one school group and a lot of toddler aged kids. Nadia had a lot more fun this time around because she took the time to read a lot of the informational signs.

While the girls were pretending to make rain and hail it started to sprinkle on us.
We had the entire lab to ourselves and the girls enjoyed all the special attention during the experiments.
Dani watched her sisters do this one time and then tried every step herself. It was really cute to watch her trying so hard to be just like them. It was a great day and we saw a lot of things that we missed the last time so that was very fun.
To end our day, Dani took her first bath with her big sisters and had a blast!
Dani’s 1 month check up
As I was going through photos I realized that I never posted about Dani’s one month check up at Texas Scottish Rite. It happened on August 7th and the short version is that she is doing perfect! Dr. Birch said that she couldn’t have healed better and that everything looks fantastic. He said to keep letting her judge what she felt comfortable doing, but that we were safely past the point that her femur should be fine. In the first 30 days there was a chance that it could snap if she was pushed too hard. Yuck!
This cool projector is in the waiting area of the orthopedic section and the girls love it when we come for appointments.
This is a photo of her x-ray and you can see the pins in her pelvis and the metal on her femur. Dr. Birch told us he wanted to see us again in 3 months. He also said again that it would be about 6 months for full mobility. He also said they would want to take all the metal out at about 6 months post cast removal. That should only require an overnight stay in the hospital and a bandage. Whew!
