Happy 5th Birthday!!

I can't believe that Mia has turned 5 today, she is getting so big. I told her this weekend that she was not having another birthday and that she would stay 4 forever. Mia said "No way Daddy, I'm turning 5!" A busy day for her today is in motion... a little party at Nola's, costume pickup at dance class then off to dinner at Beef-A-Roo. We thought that Mia would have wanted to go to Red Robin since it is her absolute favorite, but after dance practice she gets a shake from Beef-A-Roo and asks Brandy "Mommy can't we eat inside?" so tonite we dine inside. Mia has been soooo excited about her birthday this year, it's hard to put into words the level of excitement. This weekend she kept telling us "not tomorrow but the next tomorrow will be my 5 birthday." Then yesterday morning she had to wake everyone up to tell us that tomorrow morning is her birthday. Unfortunately I wasn't home this morning when she woke up but I could tell my the sound in her voice when she called me, she's excited!

Mia has been doing very well over the past couple of months. Now that her tonsils have been removed, she is no longer sawing logs when she sleeps and definitely seems to be sleeping much better. The scar revision on her top gum is no longer bothering her eating or brushing her teeth. So at this point there are no surgeries in the near future and Mia is enjoying life... at 5.

Love you princess!!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy 4th Birthday to our little princess!!

Mia had her birthday party yesterday and did she have fun. I put up a tube slide on our swing set yesterday and she wanted to be the first one down. It was funny because at the parks that have tunnel slides or dark slides, she doesn't want to go down them. Now that she has one in her backyard, she is so excited. Even Addy had a big smile when she went down it. Once we got inside to get ready for her party, Mia wasn't feeling to well. Brandy asked her if we should call everyone to let them know so they could stay home, but Mia said "I'll tell them when they get here." Brandy gave her some Motrin and that helped out. She was able to play with everyone, open her presents and even sit behind her awesome birthday cake while we sang to her. The fun stopped there thou because her fever came back, 104.8°. Because she wouldn't take any Tylenol, her pediatrician wanted to get her to ER vs. waiting until today for her to be seen. So, we drove to the ER were she took the Tylenol from the triage nurse great. Finally, her temp had dropped back down. From there it became the waiting game to actually see a Dr. Mia was crying that all she wanted to do was to come home when they eventually called us back. Turns out she has a bladder infection and possible strep. We've got some antibiotics for Mia that she will need to take 4 times a day. It's a good thing that she takes her medication good.

Once in the car, she was excited that we were going home.... she wanted a piece of cake!! After we got home and the cake was served, Mia decided it was time for the couch to rest. Her fever had started to come back alittle bit. Mia slept pretty good thru the nite and when she woke up, she hadn't forgot about that cake. It became breakfast and she said it was yummy.

Happy Birthday princess!!
