Sadbh had a really good night and woke up when I took over from
Julie at 6am. She was happy to be awake and was very determined to make sure
that Katie and I were up too.
She had a fantastic morning and got to watch a little more telly
than she is used to watching.
By 11am she was ready for her nap so I gave her a nice bath and
got her ready for bed. She was exhausted and fell asleep in my arms within a
few minutes. My father and I blasted through trach care and Sadbh slept for two
and a half hours.
She was very upset when she woke up and was desperately looking
for Katie. In her frustration she arched back and accidentally bumped her head
on rails of her cot.
This obviously upset her even more but I had her calmed down a
few moments later.
After getting dressed it was time for lunch and Sadbh wanted to
watch her signing DVD again. This particular one focuses on the alphabet and
Sadbh was quick to catch on.
Once she was done eating lunch it was time to play so Sadbh and
I played a game of chasing around the house. She had a blast and she wore me
out in a matter of minutes.
Katie arrived home shortly afterwards and Sadbh was excited to
see her.
She was ready for Katie to join in on the fun and we couldn’t
believe the energy that she had.
She was so lovey-dovey and could not stop hugging Katie.
The weather was all over the place today so we jumped in the car
and headed up to Capitol Hill for some shopping. Sadbh was all bundled up nice
and snug and despite the cold rain she was happy to be out walking down the
street holding both Katie and my hands.
In one clothing store I found Sadbh trying on a pair of shoes.
It was so funny to watch her and she got a lot of giggles from other shoppers.
Later on in the evening Sadbh got to Skype with her cousins and
Aunt in New Zealand. Josh had just woken up from his nap and as soon as he
appeared on the screen Sadbh leaned over to kiss the monitor.
After Skyping with New Zealand it was then time to Skype with
her cousins in Portland.
Her cousin Kaito showed her his huge stuffed monkey and Sadbh
got very excited. She started making her monkey sign and ran off to her toy
corner. We were laughing when she came running back with one of her monkeys to
show her cousins.
She impressed everyone when she named her three cousins.
They are coming to visit us next week and I can’t wait to see
the excitement on Sadbh’s face when they arrive.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
