Makayla all ready for School!

So I needed to do a post dedicated to Makayla, since lately I haven't done any!! I know bad mommy. Well Makayla started school this year with a new teacher and I really, really love her. She has had several blind children in her class before so she knows exactly how to, and how not to treat her. She is learning to walk with a cane and doing really well. We are seriously hoping she decides to get the courage to walk on her own soon. She has all the skills she is just lacking in confidence. We make her walk everywhere now though, and I think it is working. Practice does make perfect.

Makayla is very excited about her baby sister too. She is always coming and hugging her baby sissy in momma's tummy. She never did that with Evan and I really think she and Sadie have some sort of connection. She always says,"Sadie Belle is my sister, she's in heaven." I am so happy that Makayla will have a sister and be able to experience something I never got to as a child. I also think that even though they will be almost four years apart, because of Makayla's delays they might be on more of the same level than a normal child would be with a new baby sister.

Well, that is the update on Makayla, she is happy, healthy, and full of sass, just like always. Here are a couple of pictures of her before she headed off to school. I tried to get her to smile but it is almost impossible to get a wonderful picture of that girl!
