Sadbh slept great last night
and woke up at 7:15 in a very good mood.
Larissa has the week off so
I took today off from work to spend it looking after Sadbh.
When she woke up she started
to call for Katie and was surprised when I popped one of her ugly dolls over
the side of her cot. She was not expecting to see that face looking at her and
was laughing her head off as a result.
As soon as her equipment was
unhooked we headed upstairs to see mommy.
Sadbh could tell that mommy
was getting ready for work and she was not having any of it.
Sadbh had a nice breakfast
sitting out on the back porch with one of her dolls. It was shaping up to be
another scorcher of a day so I stocked up extra water and plenty of sun block
for Sadbh.
By now Sadbh was fine with
mommy going to work and soon we were both heading off up the street towards
Capitol Hill and the Seattle U campus.
It was a nice walk and Sadbh
was very content sitting in her stroller the whole way.
Our first destination was
Elliot Bay Books and Sadbh was thrilled as soon as we set foot inside the door.
She wanted to get out of the stroller as quickly as possible and ran to the
kids book section as quickly as her little legs could carry her.
I spent the next half an
hour replacing all the books that she loaded into the stroller and occasionally
she took a few minutes to sit and glance through a few books that she found
most interesting.
It was a fun trip and by the
time we left Sadbh had another 5 good books.
I had promised Sadbh ice
cream however it was still very early and none of the four ice cream parlors I
tried were open. I headed off to a grocery store on Madison and thankfully they
had good ice cream in a small tub for Sadbh.
I was sweltering myself from
all the walking so I decided to treat myself to a nice cold treat also.
Sadbh and I then headed back
down the hill to the Seattle U campus so Sadbh could get a chance to run in the
park. There were lots of little kiddies around and Sadbh was desperate to join
in on the fun.
Eventually we headed home so
Sadbh could take her nap but she would not leave her kitchen in the back
garden. She was very busy cooking and kept serving me fried tomato for dinner.
It was an effort to get
Sadbh into her bath and as soon as she put her toes in you could tell by the
smile on her face that she found it a relief from the heat.
Naptime was not easy as she
was overly tired. It took almost an hour of her bouncing around her cot before
she finally dropped off.
Two hours and twenty minutes
later Sadbh was awake and in a great mood. It was time for the fun to start
again and after snacking on some nice refreshing treats she was off out into
the garden to play with her kitchen again.
Sadbh had a fantastic day
and we both had a lot of fun hanging out.
When it came time for bed we
were both exhausted but Katie and I still had trach care to manage.
It all went well and after a
nice long snuggle with mommy Sadbh was off to sleep.
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
