Sadbh had a
fairly good night and after waking up a few times she finally joined us in bed
around 4am. By 7:30am it was time
to get up. Today was Daddy’s
birthday and Sadbh started it off practicing how to whisper “happy
birthday”. Then she started to her
the sounds of her friends coming from the kitchen and it was time to go join
the party that was just getting started.
Sadbh was delighted
when she walked outside our room and she saw her friends, Clodagh, Cormac and
Dylan playing in the kitchen. She
couldn’t wait to join the fun. It
was quite the site with the kids running around the house after each other.
When Sadbh
saw the swimming pool, she was over the moon. She couldn’t stop making the sign for Water and pointing to
go outside. Later in the morning, Wayne
and I took Sadbh into the pool for her first water adventure. At first, she wasn’t so sure, but after
a few minutes, she was in her element and loving every minute.
It was so
fun to see her exploring the new world of sun and fun. Unfortunately, at one point she tripped
and managed to skin her knees. It is really one of the first little bruises she
has gotten.
She spent
the rest of the afternoon playing with Luna, Clodagh, Cora, Dylan and Cormac
and by 1pm, she was very tired and ready for a nap and trach care.
Trach care
went smoothly and Sadbh continued sleeping. When she woke, it was playtime again. It was a wonderful day filled with many
fun times and happy kids running about.
We went to
the Lake Chelan Winery for dinner. They are known for the BBQ and have a very
large outdoor area for kids to run around and play with Hoola-Hoops. All of the
kids had a ball and we were very much at home with the chaos of the place.
Sadbh was in
her element and by the end of the night, she was standing out front and
welcoming everyone who walked towards the restaurant with a smile and a wave
and a courtesy. Erin was watching
Sadbh and giving Wayne and I a much-appreciated break. When I caught up with them, both Sadbh
and Erin were extremely happy.
Sadbh was putting on her show and Erin was taking in every minute. Sadbh managed to charm everyone she met
and it was absolutely hilarious to watch.
All the
best,
Wayne, Katie
and Sadbh.
