Another one about the babies!


Treadmills
I know......you have seen them already.....but this little one you don't see often:D Milly and Margo and Carrie came over for lunch today. It is so cold and gray out it was hard coaxing them from their warm little nest! Since Thanksgiving we have been off our schedule with Margo and now she is hesitant to come and stay. With Autism, routine is everything!!!!!! Just change one little thing and the child is thrown off kilter for the rest of the day......so it is with Margo. The last time she came to spend the night I picked her up from school. Well, right there I started the downfall! She usually rides the little bus home and she was upset when her routine was changed. She stayed the night, but was OH SO UNHAPPY! She was anxious and and wanted her mommy. I wasn't upset over missing the nights sleep, but seeing my baby so unhappy and stressed was almost more than I could take! So, today we decided that Carrie would bring the girls over and stay for the afternoon.....trying to readjust Margo to our house and routine. It sort of worked, but she would have NO PART of me taking her picture. Milly was more than willing to "ham it up" for me.....thus these darling pictures of her as she played in the kitchen:D

She looks adorable, as usual... It will come, in time, with Margo. We certainly don't understand what she is thinking, and feeling, but with LOVE, and plenty of it, it will IMPROVE-- and we know that !!!
Love is the answer (whatever the question is !) luv, sissy

These are such beautiful pictures of Margo! You will get back to a routine again. We had a rainy day at our house too--I did a little narrative of our indoor day on my most recent post, if you want to take a peak.

Another darling granbaby! You are so lucky! Miss Margo will come around, I'm sure. She just needs to do it in her own time and in her own way. Such beautiful little girls, both of them!
