Great Trip to Gatlinburg

We are finally home and settling down after a 5 day trip to the Smokies. It was a great fall get-away. Eva Kate had a blast. She saw and did so many fun things: like spend time with her cousins, family friends from Georgia, went to Ober Gatlinburg to "kiddie land", saw black bears, river otters, went to Ripley's aquarium, explored nature, and much more.

She only had a handful of melt downs with sharing toys with her cousins and ending fun outings that she was really into. Overall she travelled well, ate well, slept great (because she got to sleep with Mommy and Daddy (:), and behaved pretty well. We heard her say many new two word phrases over the trip too. My favorite was when she called the mountains "Big Dinosaurs". She would repeat "Look Big Diosoars" over and over. Too cute!

We have a big week ahead. We meet with our new pediatrician this week to see what recommendations he has for the next step in getting EK evaluated by a pediatric neurologist. I'm anxious but ready to go to the next step in getting her the evaluations and help she needs.
