Just before Sadbh dozed off to sleep last night, she made the
baby sign for each of her friends. She did this the night previous also so we
know she misses them all and that it’s time she had a play date.
Audrey worked last night and even though Sadbh slept through the
night, she was all over the place. She did wake a couple of times and as soon
as she saw that Katie wasn’t in the room she laid back down to sleep.
Kara was working today and Sadbh was very happy to see her.
After breakfast they all headed out in the garden and Sadbh got
down to work picking tomatoes. She has her system down now and only picks the
red or orange ones. As soon as she has them picked, she then pulls off the
green stem and tosses it aside. She is a natural and dinner at night is even
tastier since we know Sadbh has contributed to it.
Today was my mother’s birthday and as a result Sadbh got to
Skype with a lot of her relatives back in Ireland since they were calling to wish
my mum happy birthday.
Trach care was quite easy today since Sadbh was exhausted. She
had a two-hour nap and woke up in a playful mood.
Once she was done eating, they all headed out for a long walk
through the neighborhood. Sadbh was excited when they arrived and one of the
parks and she got to play on the swings and other fun things.
Later in the evening as I was making dinner I could see Sadbh
out playing in the garden with Granddad and Nana. As soon as she spotted me
waving through the window, she started smiling and dancing like crazy.
She even helped Katie pull some vegetables for dinner. She was
obviously hungry since she started chomping on the raw green onions. She did
not seem to mind the taste.
After dinner we brought out a birthday cake for my mum and Sadbh
was over the moon with excitement. After the candles were blown out, Sadbh
could not wait to get some cake. She ended up with cake all over her face and
you could see that the sugar was about to kick in.
She got such a boost of energy that she could not stop dancing
around the dining room and kitchen.
When it came time for bed I had to work hard to get her teeth
brushed. She put up such a fight; however, in the end I was able to get her
teeth all nice and clean.
It wasn’t hard getting Sadbh to sleep and she was out like a
light in no time.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
