Sadbh hardly moved all
night. I took over from Danielle at 6am and for a moment I thought Sadbh might
be waking up. Thankfully I was wrong and she slept on for another hour and a
half.
She woke up in a great mood
and asked me if Poppy was afraid of fireworks.
Since mommy was still
sleeping we headed into the kitchen for breakfast. She did not have much of an
appetite but ate a decent amount of food regardless.
Soon mommy joined us and
Sadbh was over the moon when she walked into the dining room.
Sadbh spent the morning
helping mommy and I to tidy and organize the house. She was very attached to
her doll Fionn this morning and we found her sitting in her recliner reading a
book to him. It was very cute to watch and we cannot wait until she gets a
chance to read a book to her cousin Fionn who her doll is named after.
Sadbh had a second breakfast
with Poppy and got to hang out with him before he packed his bags for his
return trip home.
When it came time for trach
care Sadbh was very tired. She watched a few educational videos on YouTube and
after we finished she fell asleep for two and a half hours.
Unfortunately, she slept so
late that she could not go with Poppy to the airport and to say good-bye.
Thankfully he will be back in a couple of weeks.
Sadbh was upset when mommy
was not there when she woke up but she was happy to cuddle up with me for a
while.
As soon as she calmed down
it was time for lunch. Mommy arrived home half way through and Sadbh greeted
her with a huge smile.
As soon as her belly was
full it was time to head out to do some yard work in the back garden.
I was up a ladder pulling
down some ivy from a few trees and Sadbh kept calling after me to be careful.
“Be careful daddy. Don’t hurt yourself.” she would say over and over. She even
tried to help gather up all the yard waste.
Next it was time to go play
with Maya and her baby sister Elliot. There were several other neighborhood
kids out, including Ian (4 yrs), his sister Ivy (14 months) and Ama (6 yrs). Sadbh had a lot of fun and did not want
to come home for dinner.
Over dinner, Katie told
Sadbh that Larissa would be coming to play with her tomorrow. Sadbh immediately asked “and mommy
too?” Katie told Sadbh that she
had to go to work tomorrow. Sadbh
said “noooo” and started to cry.
Katie started to cry too.
They cried together. Then
they both started laughing and everything was good again.
When it came time for bed
Sadbh wanted a nebulizer. She had not played with her iPad all day so this was her
opportunity to do so. She quickly pulled up a few puzzle apps that she enjoys
and started to solve them as quickly as she could.
It took a while to get her
to sleep and poor mommy appeared to be more tired than Sadbh. Sadbh was very
happy snuggling up with Katie and had no desire to let go.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
