An Apple A Day...

If it is true that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then Miss Mattie will have very few visits to the doctor. The other day I went into the fridge, when as usual Mattie was right there to see what she could get into. Her new fun is opening and closing drawers so it wasn't surprising to see her open the fruit drawer. As soon as she did, she grabbed the apple, took a bite, and ran off to her sister's room. She was giggling and grinning the whole way. She thought she was something eating that apple like a big girl. Well ever since that day, this girl loves an apple. She will eat the whole thing! I was quite surpised to see that she even eats the peel. I actually core the apple and have bought softer kinds of apples. I was worried she may choke if she bit off a big piece of a hard apple. Her therapist actually said it was a very good workout out for her oral muscles.








She looks like a little angel in this picture.

She is a little angel. She is such a loving child. God has truly blessed our family. Give all the girls hugs and kisses from their Aunt Nettie.....

Oh goodness! She is adorable!
Great job eating those apples! Anna won't eat anything that is bigger than bite-size. She will eat whatever I give her - as long as it is cut up small enough for her to pick and put directly into her mouth...but give her something that requires taking a bite of - she has no idea what to do with it. =)
