As far as the trampoline, the same child could not jump ---physical therapy worked beautifully --- and that trampoline (it had a bar to hold onto and it was in one of those catalogues) was a wonderful aid. All the children loved it. It promoted controlled jumping --- it's not built for jumping high in the air. Haley and Anna will love it. Sometimes it is hard to hand over your child to another adult and leave, but as we preschool teachers know, separation is hard and necessary. Both you and Haley will be OK allowing Luciana to do her thing. Good luck. This, too, will pass. Happy Purim!

She's a tough one. I've witnessed it myself! I had a quick thought about giving her lollipops just to get her to enjoy food, but then I thought, would she eat chicken after a tootsie pop? Probably not. Hmmmmm..... I don't remember, have you tried pediasure in her bottle? That might be better than plain milk or infant formula. Sounds like Mommy and physical therapy don't go together. Well, take a good, trashy novel and enjoy the free time while Haley learns to walk with Luciana. Being exposed to and learning to trust someone new is a good lesson for her in and of itself. Watching her move around, my guess is that she'll be walking by summer. I'll root for the Hoyas this year for that reason alone!! Dana I’ve got my thinking cap on about food for Haley.
