Updates

In the past couple of weeks, we have had some accomplishments. Maggie has graduated from speech therapy and will not return unless she is evaluated and recommended for further therapy once she goes to school. Maggie went to the dentist a couple weeks ago and agreed to go back all by herself! She is an amazing child. She has three cavities and for the first time, they have to sedate her for the fillings. They are doing one filling a visit and had her first done about10 days ago. She told myself, Barbara, and Grandpa Al to wait in the living room (the dentist office is in a refurbished house) and once again, she went back all by herself. The filling was completed, she didn't cry, and she came out smiling.

Last week Barbara took Maggie for her 3rd hepatitis vaccine shot. As usual, Maggie didn't even shed a tear, but she did tell me that it "a little hurt". She is such a tough kid!

The last two nights, Maggie let me read to her in bed and she fell asleep in her room both nights. This is first since Christmas. She normally falls asleep in the living room and I have to carry her upstairs. The picture of her holding her monkey was taken last night just after she dozed off.

Maggie thought it would be cute to put on Barbara's pajamas last week and do a dance. I made a short video of her. She also thought it would be cute to wear a pillow case. This morning Maggie and Barbara were watching the Tinker Bell movie and Barbara got out a fairy princess costume that Maggie got for her birthday last year that was too big at the time. It fit perfect, and Maggie was dancing around in it. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did. I think she needs to be in a dance class. She loves dancing so much.

Also this week, Maggie got her haircut and had lady bugs painted on her toes. She has also informed us that she now wants her ears pierced.
