Missed a couple weeks of blogging...So let's play catch-up!

As you can see I fell behind in blogging. Been a long 2 weeks as I caught a virus going around the schools/daycare and have been on antibiotics and I am finally like myself again! :-)

To catch everyone up, grandma is doing excersises with me to keep my ligaments and tendons loose in my legs. I will share the video of Rita (my physical therapist) teaching her how to do them. Rita and grandma also got permission from Dr. Fleissner my ortho to add a 1/8" foam insert under my right shoe insole. You should see me go! I walk straighter and twice as fast as I ever did. I even tried running from daddy and grandma. It was too funny seeing the look on their faces as I darted to the counter to get a treat that they did not want me to have till after dinner. I just don't understand why I cannot have my mini marshmellows before dinner! What is up with that? Grown ups have far too many silly rules if you ask me!

Oh yeah, they are still slipping mickey's in my food. The latest is the Omega 3 in my pudding cup and I heard grandma ordered strawberry DHA softgels from LuckyVitamins.com as she read Nordic offered the purest quality and they are suppose to taste good. Hmmmm...imagine a fish oil gelcap that isn't suppose to taste like fish. (I will beleive it when I see it). I think she is going over the edge with all this but since my neurologist suggested Omega 3 there is not a chance I will ever convince grandma to skip this supplement being added to my diet. Wish me luck as I hope these strawberry fish capsules taste better than they sound. LOL

School has been great and I am eating like a little horse or so they say. :-) My appetite is back to normal and I am getting plenty of veggies, fruit and yogurt. Oh yeah, get this....Yoplait kids yogurt now has DHA added to it. Leave it to my grandma to find this out and that just happens to be the one that daddy bought without even realizing it. Grandma says to check it out for yourselves if your interested.

Here is the website:http://www.yoplait.com/kids_nui_dha.aspx. It appears to be very healthy for my brain, my muscles, has added calcium and vitamin D and so on. Good thing I happen to love yogurt and Dora the Explorer or I might have turned my nose up to this one! LOL

Oh yeah, for Valentines day I gave all my friends Tinkerbelle valentine cards. They were so cute! And we got lots of goodies from school. Grandma & Papa got us valentine fruit roll-ups and fruit snacks. Always thinking of healthier ways to keep up away from all the candy. Grandparents seem to have an issue with kids and candy. Why is that? :-(

Daddy is looking at a different daycare setting for us as of late. There is a lovely woman who lives fairly close to us and we went to meet her yesterday. She said we can call her Aunt J. That was Tori's idea but her name is Miss Joyce. She sits for her 3 grandchildren and has a huge playroom! And most importantly she liked me! That is the special part as she is not afraid of caring for me or the fact that I have seizures. We really did not know if we would ever find someone who was willing to take on a special angel that loves to explore the world around her like I do. But Miss Joyce appears to be the one! And best yet, Tori can still get on her school bus from Miss Joyce's home without any transportation issues with the school.

God is definately looking out for my sister and I, isn't he? Though we will miss going to see Miss Robin at daycare it is a bit much for her to continue with me as her census is high and she does not have enough helpers to oversee all my special needs. She is a wonderful woman and I love her greatly but I also understand that I can be a bit of work. Not everyone is cut out to care for special children and I understand this. We will just have to go and visit her once in awhile just to let her know how much we appreciated her being there when we needed her. She is an awesome woman and we love her dearly!

I have to tell all of you that I think our little world is in a good place these days. So many loving people surrounding Tori and I. We have clearly been blessed the past few months with all that has been going on in our lives. And daddy seems so relaxed and comfortable in the world we are creating these days as a family. We eat well, we sleep well and we have a daily routine that is uninterrupted with turmoil and chaos. If I awaken at night daddy comes in and checks to see if I am wet or thirsty and attends to my need and back off to sleep I go. I am averaging 9-12 hours of sleep now! Can you beleive this? Never before did this happen! And some nights I sleep without wakening at all. I guess I am just a routine kinda gal. LOL

Well I am going to go find my excersise video and get it ready for posting. That way you can see what Rita and grandma are doing these days to keep me limber. I have a pretty good team of loving people working with me to make my life the best it can be. Even with the time-outs that I have been getting lately for misbehaving and getting into the wrong things. I just cannot help myself sometimes and when I am in the wrong daddy and grandma put me in time-out and I sit until they tell me I may get up. Its a bit boring when it happens and I am now pouting more to see if I can change their minds, but it has not worked so far. Grandma smiles at me when I pout and tells me; "go ahead little one and pout, your still going to learn what you can and cannot get in to." Well for now, special hugs and thank you's to all those involved in making life the best it can be for me and my big sister Tori. xoxoxox
