The Not-So-Immobile Elin

Elin has been taking her "impediment" very well, considering the difficulties this puts on a 1-year old child. The first couple days were a little rough... Elin would cry for us to pick her up and carry her. But we held our ground, and after a couple days she finally learned to walk in her cast. And now she's back to dancing! Here she is reading her books (i.e. pulling them all off the shelves and looking at pictures), with her over-sized sock to help her walk.

This is Elin's "cheese!" face... not really sure if she's just saying cheese or having a bowel movement.

I think if she were given the chance, Elin would eat a whole bag of pears if we put them in front of her... and you'd better not try to take them away.

Yes, Elin has got her groove back, cast and all! She may not be back to doing the moonwalk yet, but the spirit is definitely there. In fact, tonight I found her standing up in her dresser drawer again trying to turn on her music- how did she get in there???

Is she doing the electric slide, or in the middle of a "tah-dah!"? I'm not sure, but what I really like about this pic is my half-naked son dancing on his bed in the background. Actually, these two love to listen to their music and dance together- it's become a daily ritual.
