E and Viv had a great time up at Grandma and Grandpa's house. As usual, E got to play "kitchen" and made food for everyone.
We dyed eggs--or as E says it, "dived eggs", late Saturday evening.
After church, we had an Easter Egg hunt! E has done this before--inside the house. She is very good at it now, and loves the hunt. We try to stress that it isn't a race, and that works well. This year she carried her basket for the first time. She didn't have any problems inside the house (relatively flat, lots of handholds). Vivian joined the hunt, too. She liked the eggs when she found one, but didn't know what to do with it besides shake it.
We also had an outdoor egg hunt!
E did pretty well on the pavement and surrounding areas. There were some eggs through the grass, and that proved too difficult. Granted, the grass was long...but I think even if it were freshly mowed, it would have been too difficult this year. The hardest parts were the edging by the mulch (little "dips" prove troublesome) and the fact that she was carrying a large object. Vivian, on the other hand, loved it--she ADORES being outside, and especially loves tumbling in the grass. Elena likes grass, but not the falling part. :)
Next up: School recaps. Holiday prep, maybe. Recaps on some events.
Overall things are going well here.

Mission Statement
No one plans, or expects, to have a child with a disability. When this happened to us, we started a desperate search to find information relating to milestones or expectations for our daughter after her diagnosis. Most of this was fruitless. My hope is for this site to help any person or parent in a situation similar to ours.
I'm a work-hard, play-hard multitasking wife and mother of two. I'm lucky to have a supportive family and friends, and live in a great town for children with (and without) disabililties. Elena is my firstborn, born at 33w with moderate spastic diplegia. Vivian is my secondborn--almost at 28w, but with a lot of help, made it to 38 1/2w and developing normally; she was diagnosed with focal epilepsy at age 9.
