Roller skating

I had something witty to say, but the my phone ate that message, and I forgot what it was.

We took her roller skating, and she liked it. After we skated on the carpet for a bit that is.

Cleared for take off

The pediatrition is going to award me the most neurotic mom award. After having our 4th visit this month, she is finally clear of her successive colds. She should be healthy for next week's surgery. Now I have to prepare myself. Maybe l'll start listening to the rocky soundtrack.

Summer fun

Some of the hijinks we have been up to. How much can we cram into the next week. Stay tuned!

Almost that time

We received the surgery info packet in the mail today. Sophie has a summer virus that had better hurry up and get surpressed lest it scuttle surgery. It has been wonderful to have had this break since March, we will have to carry the happy fun vibe through this round of expanders. Like tony horton, our fitness guru would say,'bring it'.

T minus 2 weeks

We have been having such a good time this summer. It seems so weird that surgery is a short two weeks away! I am a lot calmer that before the first round of expanders, but I think my subconscious may be disagreeing with my conscious on that point! Positives are that we have been through this process and know what to expect. Sophie has never had any life threatening complications and we have to pray that things stay that way.

She is so much more aware now, and I need a child development specialist to tell me how much to tell her. I hate blindsiding her with a trip to the OR,  but she is too young to comprehend something that will happen in the future, and we don't want her to feel anxious. The kennel and the hotel reservations are made, and tomorrow is her day in daycare, to hopefully avoid any rogue germs.

Two weekends left, and the plan is to get as dirty as possible playing in the woods, and swimming!

Super hotdog

Somehow I got it while Sophie was still lloking at me
