Elsie has now been checking her own sugar from time to time. She will wipe her finger with an alcohol pad - poke her finger with the lancet herself and put the meter on the blood until its time to read it. We have to only help her by squeezing her toe/finger and guiding the meter to the right angle to get the blood. She has never seized to amaze us!!
Her independence has been amazing - love to see her want to put her shoes/shirt/pants just about everything herself!!
We started potty training on January 5th this year - She did amazing with potty training. She really showed no signs of interest BUT Mommies knew she was ready!! She took to it like a champ!! She only had a few accidents and that was it for her to want to be a big girl and go to the bathroom on the big girl potty!! So proud of her. She has shown us that she can accomplish anything. Moms freak out and stress over the little things thinking they'll end up being big things but we are almost always wrong... NOW time for the binky!! haha!!
Elsie has been warming up to being a big sister - the time of being an only child is coming to and end and she has her days where she wants to be a big sister and then MOST of the time she wants nothing to do with it. We'll see how she gets as the time comes and I am sure she'll be just as in love with Veda as we are going to be!! She'll surprise us once again!!
We have an endocrinologist appointment next month - lets hope that the appointment comes before baby does - the appointment is only 2 weeks before Veda's due date so keeping fingers crossed everyone stays PUT!!
We'll keep you updated as usual
Love always
McKenzie, Sarah & Elsie too!!
