February - March Madness Updates

Wow March is almost over, and February flew like the wind in the snow storm.  My B-day month was CRAZY!  We had lots of fun snow days, not so fun sick days, and of course the week long Birthday extravaganza!

It was sooooo cold!  However it was pretty nice out on my birthday, lots of sunshine.  We had a cool party at Miss Lisa’s church, full of friends, cake, prizes and of course more cake!  It was nice to see all my friends come to sing happy birthday to me, thanks to everyone for making it a rocking good time!

Days after we celebrated we got socked by a storm and the flu.  I’m going on strike against the flu shot.  It hurts, and I still got sick… bum mer!  Thus started my next round of antibiotics.  In true toddler fashion I shared my germies with Mia, Mom, Dad, and Nana. 

Since I have an overabundance of green snot, mom and dad thought it would be a good idea to take me to see a new doctor.  So off we went to Rochester to see the Snot Doc.  It of course was in a snow storm, so we had to leave early and make it a quick trip.  It stopped snowing half way to the doctor, but then mom had car trouble… the car would only go really slow so we lost some time on the way there.  We only saw the Snot Doc for a couple of minutes and he jabbered with mom and dad about what to do and then we went to Mikie D’s for some French fries and Yogurt parfait! My fave!

Of course on the way home the car was probably sicker than I was (I thought it was going to start blowing green snot) and the snow was coming down.  Boy was mama anxious to get home.  I was too, but for a different reason.  (You can catch the rest of this story from mom as it is soooo not going to be posted).  We made it home safe and sound, but the car is going to the doctor soon.

I’m doing very well in school… I am using my picture cards and coloring a lot more.  I really like my aqua doodle and play with that a lot.  I’m riding my tricycle inside, but soon we’ll be able to out onto the playground to ride, I can’t wait. 

AMELIA UPDATE: My sister and I are becoming close friends.  She pulls my hair and I pull hers.  We like to feed each other cheerios, and I like to steal food off her tray J We play tug –o –war in the back seat of the car and now that she’s crawling, she follows me everywhere! She’s even got her first tooth!  I taught her how to put blocks in the farmhouse to make it sing songs, and showed her how to tap tap tap my ball.  Yeah, she thinks I’m pretty cool, she’s not so bad either.

We just got back from a big ole trip to Boston (GO YANKEES)!

A big shout out to Miss Janette, the GCRC Crew and Dr. Tan!  We went to the Children’s Hospital for a study all about ME! (Well really it is all about Angelman Syndrome).

I had to do a lot of tests (you think I was taking the entrance exams for med school or the LSATS).  I passed!  The doctors think I’m really smart and cute and that I should be President.  (I’ll let mom tell you all the other stuff they talked about…)  

I did have to do that dumb test where they turn me into a robot to read my mind.  Yeah, right, like I was totally going to let them do that.  I gave it my best Manning shot, but the DVD’s got the best of me and I fell asleep (2 hours later).  Mom and Nana were pretty exhausted.  We got to go to Maggiano’s for some good carbs that night for dinner (I fell asleep on the table). 

Then it was up again the next morning for another day of adventures at the hospital.  On our way out the door we saw a Harvard Police officer, and we thought he was going to hold the door for us and all our stuff, nope.  Instead he thanked us for auto opening the door so he could scoot right in while talking on his cell phone… hmmmm “’s Finest”? 

At the end of our visit Dr. Tan came in with a goodie bag, all for me… I really liked my trip and everyone at GCRC was very nice and cool (even the nurses who had to take my blood and blood pressure- you passed my test!)Boston

On the way home we used our GPS (or as mom likes to call it Dad’s second wife) to find our way to Buca di Beppo’s in Albany for Dinner.  YUMMM MMMMEEEE  Mia and I were very good girls in the car, and Nana sat in the back to play VJ with the DVD’s.  I was totally digging on High School Musical, Signing Times (thanks Maggie) and Fraggle Rock.

So I’m sure there’s more stuff that I missed on this post (cuz gosh mom, it’s been almost 2 months since you let me on the computer!) so if I remember anything or missed a shout out… I’ll send out an update.  Hopefully mom can get her stuff together and help me post a little more often.

Till then please send the Magster a get well email, since she had to take an overnighter to the O. R. I’m sure she’ll be up to chaos in no time!
