John busting a move!

VERY BRAVE

As the first snow flakes fell in Virginia Beach Chloe Sage was playing TIMBER with her little brother...Timber is a game John made up; standing straight as a tree your opponent pretends to cut you down and then yells "Timber" and you fall. Repeat. Over and over again! This began after watching a Paul Bunyon Disney movie.

When it was Chloe's turn she stood up not watching where she was going and knicked her eyebrow splicing it with a deep enough gash to render herself with not one but two stitches. She was very brave during the procedure! Here is a pic of her afterwards, with Clover, her bear that came to surgery with us! She may get her stitches out in 5 days, and hopefully won't leave much of a scar! Brave girl Chloe!

John's Medical Review

I took John to his pediatrician this morning for a well baby as well as an assessment. He was due for one next month anyway but bumped it up to now.

He is 95% in both height and weight which his doctor commented was wonderful.

John's gross motor skills and coordination are at their peak.

He knows all body parts and communicates very easily. He understands commands and conversation quite well.

He is not expected at his age to know colors, shapes, or letters of any kind, however does know quite a few and it is common to mix them up at this stage of his life.

He will be assessed as well in speech therapy as his clarity could be better, as is common for busy young men as himself.

At this time he is certainly in wonderful health and developing at an advanced rate! Good Boy Johnny!
