It has been soooooo long. I almost forgot that this damn thing exists. Yikes. So many things to cover and so little time. It has been almost 2 years since I have posted and so much has gone on. Wow.
So - MonsterGirl has become a big sister! Her little sister Josie came into the world in July of 2016 and she is just too adorable. Monster is the best big sister in the world!
She is sooooo in love with her and her baby sister loves her so much. :) <3
She started kindergarten in 2015 and did swimmingly. She just finished FIRST GRADE! Oh me, oh my where does the time fly?
She'll be transferring to a different type of school this next year for second grade, it's an innovation school modeled after some schools in San Francisco, so that will be interesting. She's excited and can't wait. She's reading at a 3rd grade level at this point and her math skillz are where they should be. She's just growing so fast.
So, treatment-wise regarding her cleft. She'll be getting braces within a month to start preparing for her bone graft later this year!!! She's nervous, but the dentist at Children's is amazing and explained it all to her in a way that she understands. She's going to do fine, she is strong and brave and a trooper. She still needs those blasted ear tubes, but her hearing was perfect at her last cleft clinic a week ago, so there's that. She is not in need of any speech pathology at the moment because...dammit she's awesome. So, yes.
That is basically all for now. I will, try, I mean REALLY try this time to keep this page going. I know it helps me to have a bit of an outlet and I think I have really neglected it for some time just out of laziness or inability because of the baby, but I am REALLY going to try this time guys. Gotta go now, but have a lovely day all.
