Sadbh had yet another good night and woke up at 6:30. She got to
hang out with Julie and Katie for 30 minutes until Julie’s shift ended. They
had a really good time and it was fun for Julie to actually get to spend time
with Sadbh since she is usually sleeping.
As soon as Julie left Sadbh started to call out for me so it was
time for her to head upstairs for a snuggle in bed. We were hoping that she
might want to sleep for a bit but she was ready to start the day.
It was as good a time as any to get up so we all headed
downstairs so Sadbh could eat breakfast.
She had a healthy appetite and got to watch her Baby Signing
Time DVD as she ate.
Our neighbor, Maya, was celebrating her third birthday today and
Sadbh was invited.
As we were getting ready, Sadbh decided that she wanted to wear
Katie’s UGG boots. It was too funny to see her struggle to get them on and then
to see her walking in them.
Sadbh was quite shy when we arrived at the party but you could
see that she was intrigued with all the other kids and all the toys.
The party was held in a preschool craft center and there were a
lot of fun activities for all the kids.
Sadbh got to make a little bird with fluff balls, glue, feathers
and wiggly eyes. She even got to paint a little wooden box and despite the fact
that it was her first time painting, she seemed to know what she was doing.
After all the arts and crafts it was time for lunch and after
singing Happy Birthday to Maya each of the kids got to pick a cup cake. Sadbh
had chocolate and blue frosting all over her face and hands and she couldn’t
get enough.
She really enjoyed herself and by the time she was done she had
met lots of new friends.
She was exhausted on the trip home and kept drifting off to
sleep. We had to keep her awake since we still had to manage trach care as soon
as we got home.
We succeeded in keeping her awake and she was delighted to soak
in her tub after we arrived home.
Unfortunately, she was overly tired and it took two and a half
hours to get her to sleep. The whole time she was either very hyper or very
cranky.
When she finally fell asleep she dropped into a deep sleep so
trach care was very straightforward.
Sadbh slept for an hour and a half and as soon as she woke up we
headed down to South Lake Union for a quick walk. The weather was not great but
we were starting to get cabin fever in the house and it was a good excuse to
get some pizza for dinner.
She was in an excellent mood and it only got better when we got
back home. She was very playful but was also very mischievous. A lot of buttons
were being pushed this evening and Sadbh was determined to get a reaction out
of either Katie or myself.
When it came time for bed Sadbh wanted to go to sleep by herself
so we set the camera up and left the room after placing her in the cot. She did
not last long and was soon standing up calling for Katie using baby sign.
Despite being extremely tired, it ended up being an effort to get her to sleep.
Julie is working again tonight so hopefully Sadbh will get
another good nights rest.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
