Little developments every day

We’re moving into a stage where milestones creep up very organically. It’s natural and slow and amazing when you realize she just did something “grown up.”

As we walked into school the last three days, Jordan grabbed the railing and walked up the stairs all by herself. Cam and I were so excited. She’s getting braver by the moment. The steps at school are a little smaller than the normal kind… Which I am so happy she has easier steps to practice on. I was a little nostalgic about not being able to grab her other hand to help just in case she needed it. I’ll get over it.

So the whole family went to school yesterday to meet Cam’s new teacher. Jordan LOVED walking up and down the hallway of the school. She LOVED saying hi to people. She LOVED upsetting her brother by no going where he told her to go. She LOVED checking out the classroom and trying to grab paper that she should grab. It drove her brother nutty. Randy and I just tried to make sure she didn’t grab something that would cause danger to herself of the classroom.

I’m kind of looking forward to taking the kids on the walk to school every morning. It’s a little exercise, a little family (except Daddy will have to go to work before we head out to school) time, a little outside time. It will take work time out of my morning, but I think that’s probably a good thing.
