Three more hours of exercising this morning, but this time with a specific goal - to be steady enough to carry a baby around the house. Sada started working on babysitting last October and even braved quite a few diapers. Losing coordination had the unexpected consequence of setting back her goal of being head babysitter by a couple months since it's a little harder to be in charge if you can't put the baby in bed without running into a wall or two.

During physical therapy, she worked on slowing down and controling movements purposefully instead of letting gravity do the work. It made a huge difference with balance going down stairs and stepping over the obstacle course that Sergio built out of blocks and wooden rockers. She's got a long way to go, but she's determined. And if she remembers to go slow she'll be changing Kyra's diapers again in no time (cross my fingers!).
