Bowling birthday party
We had offered Namine her choice of venue for where to have her birthday party. She chose to have it at the bowling alley.

Water and sun
When I got home from work, the first thing out of Namine’s mouth was “Daddy! Let’s go play in the water outside!”

The company you keep
While my parents are on vacation, it is left to those left behind to care for their cats. Namine accompanied me on one trip to their house.

Party at grandma’s
Last night Jessica, Namine, and I went over to my parents’ house for Namine’s birthday.

Playing Rock Band
The other day I got a text from my mom: “Saw this at a rummage, $25. Interested?”

At the zoo
We had a free day today (technically yesterday, since it’s now after midnight), so our plan was to clean the apartment. But then we thought, you know, why clean when we could go to the zoo? That sounds like a much better way to spend a Saturday.

Milestones
Yesterday was the first day of Namine’s new physical therapy schedule. Instead of once a week, she’s got it twice a week. Her therapist felt that this is the right direction, since she’s been improving so much lately.

Playing balance games
Namine asked me this afternoon if we could play Mario Kart. Before that, though, we tried something new. We fired up the Wii Fit to try her on some balance games.

Playing on the Wii
There’s no better way to relax on a stormy day than to play games. We fired up the Wii, and introduced Namine to Wii Sports and Mario Kart.

New pair of shoes
Contrary to doctors’ predictions, Namine’s feet continue to grow. Her Mary Jane sneakers have served her well, but the wear and tear of walking, crawling, and scooting — combined with the fact that the shoes almost don’t fit anymore — has necessitated getting new ones.

Namine’s outdoor adventures
Today was a fantastic day. We’re fortunate enough to have been able to come up to my aunt’s for the weekend, and the weather was superb today. Namine and I had the chance to go for a walk, and more.

Working hard
It would seem that Namine is pretty much settled back into the rhythm of physical therapy. Even though she only has it once a week — down from before the prior authorization expired, when she had it twice a week — she’s proving to be building strength and enthusiasm.
