Sadbh’s update – December 24th 2013


Sadbh slept until close to 8 and was delighted to see Mommy straight away.

Since it was already Christmas day in New Zealand Sadbh got to talk to her cousins about Santa. In fact when she heard that Santa had already visited them she wanted to talk with her cousin Conor and asked him to put her onto Santa.

She received a surprise visit from her friend Felix when he stopped by with his mum Sophie to drop off a Christmas present. They were in a hurry so they did not stay for long.

After trach care we headed up to Capitol Hill for a walk and to pick up a few books at the book store from Poppy. Sadbh was in her element in the book store and wanted to load up the stroller with as many books as she could manage.

When we arrived home it was time to Skype with her cousins in Hong Kong as they were opening their presents from Santa. There was so much excitement and it really got Sadbh going. She even got to Skype with her cousins in Portland at the same time.

She and Mommy got busy baking cookies for Santa and before long Sadbh was covered in flour and other baking ingredients.

We got a few good videos of Sadbh tonight. She was pretending to be Rudolf pulling Santa’s sleigh and when she realized that she was being videoed she started laughing quite a bit.
Another video she put on a few scarf’s, a hat and shades and pranced around the house. She found me napping in the living room and gave me a big kiss.
Another video she was trying to finish her letter to Santa but then got distracted when it came time to prepare cookies, milk and a carrot for Santa and his reindeer.  They were all very cute.

Just before bed Sadbh was glued to the computer tracking Santa as he approached Florida on his way to Seattle.

Sadbh was completely pooped when it came time for bed and was fast asleep in no time.  As she dozed off, she kept saying “Santa is coming, Santa is coming” and nodding her head in agreement with herself.

We do not have a nurse for the next couple of nights so we moved our bed downstairs to sleep next to Sadbh.
Tomorrow is going to be very exciting when she wakes up and sees what Santa brought.




Merry Christmas to you all!

Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
