Missing....One Tooth...If Found...Please Return!

Friday seemed like a day just like every other day. Then, when I got home something was missing in my beautiful smile! Mom and Dad said my smile was still beautiful...it was just missing a tooth! We aren't sure if it came out just because it was time or if it is related to me hitting my face when I had my first nose bleed. (That's a whole other story you can read about earlier in my blog!) My other tooth on the bottom is loose AND my top middle tooth is a little loose also. Mom is going to call my dentist tomorrow to see what might be up! But look...because I lost a tooth...The Tooth Fairy came to our house when I was sleeping! She left me a certificate and four quarters! How cool is that!

Go Fly A Kite!

Today my friend Ethan made a kite at preschool. Mom and I watched him flying it when he was leaving school so we decided to go fly a kite! The day was perfect...just enough wind to fly my kite but not enough to take me up in the air with it!

Yucky, Dirty, Wonderful Mud!

I've heard rumors that mud baths have numerous health benefits so decided to try it out this weekend. If something is made from water and dirt...two of my most favorite things...it MUST be good for you. Instead of paying some health spa alot of money for a mud bath, just stop by my house. I'll hook you up! After our mud bath, we'll go relax in the spring-like waterfall...also known as Mom's garden hose!

Stupid Seizures!

Since finding out I had Angelman Syndrome, we have been hoping and praying I never had seizures. But now...I do. The past couple of months have brought on seizures and they seem to be coming more and more often. Today I had my first seizure at school. I was so lucky that Miss Rita was there to catch me or else I would have hit my head on the sidewalk. My seizures are lasting only about five seconds but they are coming faster. It scares me when I have them. I know that it really scares Mom and Dad to. As much as we didn't want to, we decided to start seizure medicine today. I start off with just a half a dose for the first five nights and then start taking it every morning and night. Mom contacted one of the doctors in Boston who knows alot about Angelman Syndrome and seizures. They agreed with my neurologist at The Children's Hospital that keppra was a good medicine to start with. Now we are praying it makes the stupid seizures go away and that I don't have any side effects from the medicine. Please say a prayer for me when you read this.

My First Bloody Nose!

Well...it happened...got my first bloody nose! And it only seems right that it happened on the basketball court! I was messing around at basketball camp when Mom and I went to see Dad. There was a funny lady in the stands that I was pretending to do the wave with. Right in the middle of the greatest wave ever, I lost my balance and did a face plant on the floor. As if that wasn't enough, my body decided to do some crazy jerks that made my face hit the floor a few more times! Mom didn't know little girls could have that much blood coming out of their nose and mouth! I made sure I didn't get the basketball court dirty by burying my face in Mom's shirt. By the time we got to Urgent Care, Mom looked like she needed medical attention to! Mom and I made quite the entrance into Urgent Care...enough of an impact that the doctor came right out to the waiting room to check me out! After a check by the doctor and lots of x-rays of my head and face, things started to look up a bit! The nurses made me a blow up glove balloon with a silly face and stickers on it...that REALLY made things okay. Mom had to wake me up every few hours throughout the night to make sure I was okay. The next night we went back to basketball camp and I saw the lady who was doing the wave with me. She gave me a cool talking puzzle and a stuffed Thunderwolf. Next time I think I'll do the sit down part of the wave and leave the arm lifts and standing to everyone else!

Kim and Me

I have to give a special shout out to Kim! She is one of my all time favorite people. She works with my Dad and her little boy Nathan goes to preschool with me. Whenever I see Kim I just HAVE to scream and give her a big hug. Dad told Kim she can't babysit me though because she is such a push over!! Don't know what the problem is with that!

City Park Rides with My Classmates

In our town we have one of the best parks of all times...City Park. Besides having a zoo, it also has the rides. Each evening during the summer, the rides are opened and cost only 25 cents. My preschool celebrated the opening by getting together with our moms and dads at the rides. I love the rides that go around and around...except for the Merry Go Round...up/down/around/around...now that's a bit much!
