A Video Only a Physical Therapist Would Find Interesting

.... or someone whose daughter is in physcial therapy.

From a gross motor standpoint, there is A LOT of cool progress in this video.  Walking on uneven surfaces easily.  Going up and down steep stairs with one hand only on the railing.  The general ease with which she is moving.  Other things that are even less interesting.



We are still in physical therapy but Charlotte has progressed to the point that this Friday she has to try new things for the first time since we started.  Specifically she has to work on balancing on one leg.  I am here to tell you that she will not be stoked about this.
 

A Funny Video

A few weeks back (the week of November 4th to be exact) Charlotte went through a three day stretch where she insisted her baby doll (that her Suze got her) wear Charlotte's pajamas.  The result was a baby who walked the fine line between looking ridiculous and looking creepy.

Unfortunately I was never able to get a good picture of Charlotte holding the creepy ridiculousness, but then one lazy Sunday morning we were hanging out and she decided all her favorite dolls/stuffed animals should sit on the rocking chair.  So hopefully this video does the doll justice.  You can also see try to give Pancho his toy even though he is nowhere to be seen and meow at the cat.  Like I said, it was a lazy Sunday morning.

This is How We Roll



An overdue video of Charlotte's first time trick or treating.  It was dark here at 6pm so not the best video recording conditions.  But, I managed to capture what I really wanted to document - Charlotte's stroller.  She wanted to bring a few bags along.  This was odd because she was not that interested in collecting candy (or as she knows them, "packets").  When people gave her candy, she gave it back and said, "thank you!"  A couple of our neighbors had their fire pits in the front yard (one house had s'mores!) and Charlotte has been really into fire ever since the fireplace at Mojo House.
