Yippee summer is here!
This is Lexi's favorite time of the year cause we are on the lake tons and that kid is a water baby!! I can't wait to take her tubing behind the boat...our little thrill seeker.
So what's new with Lexi? LOTS!
She complete her first year of school at Providence and we were quite pleased with her progress this year. When she first started, she did not know any words at all, now she says quite a bit...Momma, Dada, Nana, Milk( ilk!) Adam, Jordan, Woof Woof, bye bye, all done, what's that, yes and duck...to name a few. She is learning sign language which helps her communicate with us, she can learn a sign in minutes which astounds me. Her signs to date are more, baby, bath, cookie and milk, mommy, and all done. We are working on duck, bed, and a plethora of signs daily.
Lexi has many changes coming up in the fall, she is staying with Providence but is moving to the Midnapore location and will be getting bussed to and from school 5 mornings a week. She will also be working with a team of professionals hired specifically for Lexi from the LEAD Foundation here in Calgary, 3 afternoons per week to start. We are very excited for Lexi to get all of this specialized treatment at such a young age and can't wait to see even more progress! We have requested an aide that will have a special drivers permit so she/he can take her on field trips to the YMCA etc...since Lexi loves the water so much we thought why not have some of her therapy in the swimming pool!
Some changes on the home front include changing day homes from the loving care of Chantelle, to the loving care another good friend Char. Lexi has known Char & her family since day 1 and she gets to hang out with her buddy Alex who is only 2 days younger than Lexi. I hope they have a great summer together. We moved our trailer to a lakefront spot in Windemere, BC and we are in heaven...it's so great to just hop in the boat and go for a ride on the surfboard and watch the kids learn to wakesurf & kneeboard. We have already had plenty of guests out to the lake and look forward to the summer of friends & family.
