Sister came home for her Spring Break. She is a cheerleader at her college and brought her pom-poms home with her. The girls had so much fun with them. Normally noise and chaos bothers Bell, but she did pretty well! She stays on the side lines and watches a lot.
Bella, the cheerleader
Building a snow man with Daddy
Taking new pictures for the church roster/website
New Family Picture
Back to school and our routine – wahoo!
Dr Seuss Day – her teacher does such fun things! Wrestling with her sisters!
And then, believe it or not, three more snow days. Fine, Bella says, I’ll just stay here and watch Frozen!
Friday I wanted some semblance of normalcy. OT and ST had cancelled due to the snow, but PT was willing, so we went and worked!
So after a week of snow days, Bella spent the next week in her bed with the flu. Poor baby!
Her stats dipped into the upper 80s when she was asleep but only for one day! Otherwise we stayed above 90.
My sweet warrior fought – at home – and conquered the flu! I’m so, so proud of her. She is so strong now. Way to go baby!
When it looks like this outside….
We stay inside….
playing Daniel Tiger, helping sisters bake (but not eating anything) and playing hide and go seek!
Bella had fun at therapy this week!
Valentine’s Day Party at school
Her sweet teacher and teacher’s assistant come up with such cute games. Stacking candy hearts, using a socked hand to pick them up, throwing money on hearts, and a nerf gun (cupid’s arrows). She really loved the gun! Getting all dressed up in her Valentine’s finery!
Practicing that violin – she loves it! Working on her name with Play-Dough
Her chocolates from Daddy. She wouldn’t eat them, but she was happy to receive them!
Happy Valentine’s Day Bella!
This is from a bit ago, but I had to include it. It’s so sweet. They were both sick and had fallen asleep on me. Sweet babies! Joy painted this picture for Bella at school. Joy gets so worried about her sister.
Our family went to the Kosair Shriner’s Circus. We had so much fun! Bella LOVED everything! She wasn’t interested in eating anything - no cotton candy, no snow cones, no popcorn, no nachos. She just wanted to see everything! She kept poking her Daddy and then pointing at something as if to say, “Look Daddy!” She loved it! With her wheelchair, she had a first row seat. She even got to shake the hand of one of the performers and a clown came over and said hello!
Someone got new braces. She is not pleased about them. I haven’t figured out why yet, but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that she can’t wear her pink shoes anymore! :(
Bella and I - just feeding her selfie addiction :)
