Sadbh woke up just before 7
well rested and ready to take on the day.
I
had taken over from Danielle and thankfully Sadbh had a great night.
Since
we were all up so early we decided to pack up and head over to Easy Street
Records for breakfast where Sadbh had an encounter with a local celebrity. The
celebrity was Troy who is one of the DJ’s from our favorite local radio
stations. Sadbh was very shy but she loved the attention. When asked how old she was she answered that she was 10.
She
made such an impression that Mommy received a 10% discount on her purchase
because she had the cutest kid ever.
Breakfast
was yummy and Sadbh had an order of French toast with syrup and bacon. It
wasn’t greasy enough for her so she added a couple of blobs of butter to make
it just right.
Mommy
had a doctors appointment in North Seattle, right next to the zoo, so Sadbh and
I took a stroll through the zoo to pass the time. Sadbh wasn’t too keen as she
wanted to be with Mommy but she soon cheered up as soon as she saw the
penguins.
As
soon as she saw the carousel we had to go check it out. I wasn’t sure if she
would want to go on it or not as last year she had a melt down in my fathers
arms as they went round and round.
She
could not wait to get on and loved every minute of it. So much so that she
wanted to go again as soon as it finished.
From
there we headed over to the monkeys, elephants and then to check out the baby
giraffe. Sadbh was so fascinated with the baby giraffe as it pranced around
it’s pen with it’s mother.
Out
of the blue this woman with her two kids came up to ask if Sadbh had a trach.
Her two year old son was born premature and had chronic lung disease and had
been trached and needed a ventilator to breathe. He had recently been
decannulated and was doing really well.
He
was behind on his speech development and his mom was very impressed with
Sadbh’s vocalization ability. It gave her confidence that her son would soon
catch up.
It
was really cool to see this little guy running around the place full of beans.
He had a small scar where his stoma was and it looked like that this scar would
heal up well over time.
Katie
and I had a dinner reservation this evening so Kara came by to look after Sadbh
for the evening.
Sadbh
was so excited to see her. When Kara knocked on the door Sadbh ran to the door
and started to knock back. It was quite funny.
They
both baked cupcakes and Sadbh was very excited to get messy with four and all
the other ingredients.
Sadbh
also learned how to pop bubble wrap today. It was a very busy day.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
