Sadbh
woke up around twenty past six this morning and was so happy to see Mommy
sitting there. She was ready for a big snuggle and once she was satisfied it
was time for the fun and games to start.
We
had a great morning and managed to get out for a nice long walk up to Capitol
Hill.
She
walked most of the way and only needed to be carried occasionally.
Unfortunately,
she soon started to get tired and grouchy and wanted everything she that she
saw. At one point we came across a few rubber ducks in a shop window and Sadbh
would not leave without “her” ducks. I tirelessly explained that the ducks did
not belong to her and that they were on display and not for sale. Sadbh
responded with “why not” to each of my attempts.
Despite
her fussiness she was in a good mood for the walk home. Halfway home I realized
that she was wearing big girl pants and wanted to go to the potty. She said
that she could hold it in until we arrived home and I was very pleased when she
managed to do so.
Sadbh
was exhausted when we arrived home so we gave her a quick bath and got her
ready for trach care.
She
put up her usual fight but soon gave in and allowed Jenna and I to get the job
done.
It
seemed that she was going to drift off to sleep afterwards but she hung out
playing and reading books in her cot for the next hour or so.
When
Mommy arrived home Sadbh was eating dinner. You could tell that she was very
tired as she was getting quite delirious. By half past five she was bouncing
off the walls and we were very nervous that she would need to go to bed a lot
sooner than usual.
Both
Katie and I spent the next couple of hours playing and having fun with Sadbh
and managed to keep her awake and somewhat sane until it was time for bed.
As
we prepared her for bed she passed out in the armchair next to her cot.
All
the best,
Wayne,
Katie and Sadbh.
