Sadbh
slept like a log and barely moved all night. She woke up around 7:45 and was
happy relaxing in bed for ten or fifteen minutes before getting up.
It
was another nice sunny day so Sadbh and I headed off up to the Seattle U campus
after breakfast. Sadbh insisted on walking most of the way so it took us a
while to get there.
She
also insisted on wearing Granddad’s fedora hat and her sunglasses. She looked
like a very, very young female version of Tom Waits.
The
campus was quiet but Sadbh had fun nevertheless. She drew quite a bit of
attention in her hat and glasses.
The
entire time we were there she kept looking for Aoife, Conor and Aibhin.
Unfortunately, we did not find them.
When
the church bells on campus started to ring out Sadbh got so excited and we had
to go check them out. She was fascinated and would not leave until they were
well and truly finished ringing.
After
that we headed out to Capitol Hill to check out the construction site that we
came across a couple of days ago. Sadbh was in for quite the show as there was
a bulldozer piling up dirt for the digger to load into a convoy of trucks. She
was in her element and we could not leave until she had her fill.
It
was quite the operation and half an hour later I was granted permission by our
highness to continue down the street.
By
now I was expecting that Sadbh would be ready for her nap. She fought it hard
all the way home.
Once
home I got her ready for bed but this did not seem to go down well with her.
She had no desire to go to sleep so after a long fruitless battle I gave in and
got her dressed and ready for lunch.
Despite
being so tired she was in a great mood so we had a tea party, played hide and
seek and had a lot of fun as we waited for Mommy to come home.
She
was so excited to see Mommy pull into the drive and was even more excited when
she managed to get into the car and behind the steering wheel. She switched on
every button that could be turned on and had so much fun until it was time to
leave.
I’m
sure we could have left her in there for a few hours and she would have had a
brilliant time.
The
rest of the evening was hard for Sadbh as she was over tired and nothing would
make her happy.
Thankfully
we were able to get her into a good mood for trach care so that went well.
She
was fast asleep shortly afterwards and hopefully she will sleep soundly
tonight.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
