Sorry it has been so long since the last post. (I am probably going to go back to posting once a week on Sunday.)
Ally seems to be doing well at school this year. She loves her new teacher and talks about what she does in the classroom all the time. Apparently, she gets to use Backyardigans stickers for something…I hear about that all the time. She must be learning new songs as well…she sings things I’ve never heard before. Ally is working on tracing the letters of her name. She knows how to spell it, but we’re still working on writing it.
Benjamin is doing so well. I was watching him play with Allyson today. He just follows her around and mimics what she’s doing…it’s a trip! He gets so excited in the morning when he sees her. (Ally can’t wait to go wake him up in the morning.) — He’s talking up a storm as well. His favorite line, “I need cracker!”
Ally continues to get chemo once a week. She’s tolerating it very well. The doses are less than what she’s used to getting, but she’s getting two different ones each time. Her hair is growing back. It is soooo soft! Brad actually combed her hair when she got out of the tub last night…there’s just enough to get a comb through now.
