Ella’s continued to make great progress. She’s now really walking across the living room with the help of the gait trainer. We put one of her favorite toys on her table and have her walk to it, but even if she doesn’t have a toy in front of her she’s willing to go. Now, she’s using her left leg too. Netta and I work as cheerleaders as she trudges past us. I have to keep Netta from rushing up and pushing the gait trainer along. She knows what we want but she doesn’t know that Ella has to do it herself. Also, Ella has pooped twice on the potty! I’m not sure she knows what she is doing yet but it’s good practice. Also, using the sippy cup is old hat. The dynamics between the two girls is very interesting. So far, Netta is consistently imitating Ella — she wants to eat the same food and play with the same toys as Ella and make the same sounds. Unfortunately, the imitating also means throwing the sippy cup on the floor after Ella does. Hopefully, Netta will start imitating some very positive behaviors of Ella — for example, sleeping the whole night and not crying in bed!
