It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

Again, the only smile that we got was at the beginning of her day

Iliana was able to hold this position for a record 60 seconds!

You can see she was quite focused on setting that record

Practicing her standing

She is kneeling in this picture and having to support herself on the bench

This is one of those "worst of times" pictures. She was fighting with all that she had to not do any crawling today.

One of today's proud moments. This is as good as it got with this exercise.

Again, she's not a happy camper.

This is all she did on the spider. Most of the time she was just a noodle.

Iliana figured out how to suck from a straw today in speech therapy

As you can see, there were some very proud moments today, but mostly she complained about having to work. She must've known it was Monday. I don't know. She didn't even want to hold her head up correctly. She was rebelling and wanted to be relaxed and snuggle with her therapists. I suppose she thinks she can act this way now that she is 2. I'm praying that she will have a better day tomorrow. Our proudest moment today was during speech therapy when she began sucking from a straw. It's amazing how these little things can make us so proud. It's proof that with time, Iliana can learn to do things. She just has to be taught how.

Please pray that she will have a better day tomorrow and that she will have the energy and desire to do what is asked of her. We love and miss everyone back home...especially you daddy.
