The doctor

lyla had a swollen finger today for no apparent reason, so we took a trip to the fantastical dr. jambora.  the reason i'm blogging about this?  she wasn't scared. she didn't cry. she didn't scream.  she DID speak, even before being spoken to. she DID make casual conversation with the nurse and doctor.  she allowed the exam and followed all instructions with a calmness i've never seen. 

for those of you that know little lyla, she is shy.  many people who've known her her whole life have only recently heard her speak in more than a whisper.  

all this to say...she is growing up.  i love her new confidence.  now the others get to know the lyla we know at home.
