Mallory and Kelby: This Week's Lesson: Sharing

The girls were born on November 16th, 2007, 16 weeks early. Mallory Kate – 1 lb 8 oz, Evan Reese – 1 lb 1 oz, and Kelby Grace – 1 lb 5 oz. Upon their delivery, Mallory and Kelby were transferred to St. David’s South and were doing fairly well considering the circumstances. Our little Evan Reese was a fighter, but she had a lot of problems and she was with us for about 5 hours. We love you Evan and we miss you everyday, but we know we’ll see you again one day. Mallory and Kelby both went through a lot in their 105 day stay in the hospital, from heart surgeries, to brain bleeds, to infections. Many prayers were answered and we thank God everyday for everything He has done for them. Today they are perfectly healthy and growing bigger and stronger everyday. We started this blog to keep everybody updated on their progress. You can scroll down to the bottom of the page for a slideshow from the NICU days.

This Week's Lesson: Sharing

Take a look at the picture below paying close attention as to where the girls are and where their toys are.

Now look at the next picture paying close attention to where the girls are and where all the toys are.

One by one Kelby gently (read:yanks) the toy from Mallory plays with it for about 10 secs, lays it down behind her and grabs the next toy that Mallory has in her hand. Eventually all of the toys will be by Kelby and Mallory will be patiently watching. Clearly sharing will be something we will be working on with Kelby.
