First of all, we had a great Christmas. We were all happy and healthy and that was enough. Darbee got some neat toys and we had a ball playing with everything. Her favorite was a Polaroid camera and an electric ride on scooter. That thing will fly!
On Dec. 29th, Darbee had surgery to remove her tonsils. After six cases of strep since August, it was what needed to happen. Poor thing has been on an antibiotic for months. The surgery went well but the recovery was rough! Most days were a lot of this.
I felt so bad and so helpless. Getting her to drink was nearly impossible.
I was so happy when she finally ate a little and felt like playing some.
Thankfully now she is back to her happy playful self.
We celebrated New Years at home since she was not feeling good. We had noise makers and party hats and champange glasses with juice. Darbee also had a confetti gun that she got to shoot in the house ONLY because she couldn't go outside. I am still finding confetti in my living room. Haha
Good Mommy news! I got hired at Darbee's school! I am working as a teacher's assistant 1/2 a day for now on the two days she attends school. I love it! I just love her school and am so happy to be a part of it. Last week, I helped out in the first and second grade science class. They are studying volcanoes and were building ones out of clay to explode.
This past weekend, Darbee, Nana and I took a girls trip to Pigeon Forge. We had such a good time.
We shopped in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Darbee has a rock project due at school in a few weeks, so we mined for gems to get some neat rocks. That was a lot of fun and she is ready for her project!
We had fun at the arcade too! I love these getaways with just us girls. Such fun tomes and great memories!
We are back in the groove of school after Christmas break and surgery. We are learning about pronouns, the Turks and Constantinople, ten frames and ordinal numbers in math and volcanoes in science. So much fun!
I enjoyed visiting with you again!
Until next time....
