Sadbh was up the stairs like a shot this morning,
even before Granddad could take over from Harjinder.
We had a photo shoot for Cillian today and Sadbh
wanted in on the action. She wanted to cuddle Cillian in all the photos so we
decided to give her a shoot of her own while we got her brother ready.
When it came time to take Cillian’s photos Sadbh
helped set the mood by playing with her toy piano.
Cillian had a doctor appointment this afternoon up in
Northgate. Sadbh came along for the drive and it was the first time all four of
us were in the car together. Typically either Katie or I will sit next to Sadbh
in the car to make sure we can tend to her trach if needed. Since there is not
much room with Cillian back there now Katie and I have to sit up front with the
two kids in back.
After Cillian’s appointment we headed to Northgate
Mall for a wander around. Sadbh had so much fun going from shop to shop and she
introduced herself to everyone she met, including the mannequins. She impressed
one lady so much that she even scored a free cookie with pink frosting.
On the trip home Sadbh wanted to leave video messages
for Granddad and Sophia. It was hilarious what she was coming up with. For
Granddad she tried talking in an Irish accent and asked “would you like a cup
of tay (tea)?”
When we arrived home it was time for trach care. By
now Sadbh was very tired. She got extremely fussy and wanted Katie to help out
with trach care.
She ended up getting so upset that I had to remove
her trach cap since she was having such a difficult time breathing. As soon as
Mommy arrived on the scene Sadbh cheered up and allowed us to get the job done
quickly.
We missed the opportunity for family movie night
yesterday so we had it this evening instead.
Sadbh snuggled up between Mommy and me and kept
kissing Cillian every chance she got.
By bedtime she was exhausted and turned into quite
the demon. She gave me such a hard time when trying to get her ready for bed
that I had no choice but to give up and let Katie take over.
Lately she has been acting up at times and when Katie
asked her what was going on she explained that she get’s frustrated with me
when she’s tired. I think we have to start getting her to bed much earlier from
here on out.
All
the best,
Wayne, Katie, Sadbh and Cillian.
