A New Year!

So Christmas came and it was awesome!  I had 2 grandmothers here and 1 grandfather (Pop might be making a grand entrance in the Spring!).  There was decorations everywhere in our new house and presents were spread out all the way around our Christmas tree!  I didn't exactly wake up right away, but everyone in the neighborhood must have heard Matthew yelling because as he went down the stairs he saw that Santa brought him exactly what he wanted! (Hot Wheels Triple Track Twister)  After I got up and joined the fun I saw that I got lots of presents too:  a work bench to bang on, a noisy walker that throws balls, pillow cases to sleep on, warm clothes to wear, a remote control (from Matthew), an Elmo sing along for the car, and so much more!

It was really cool to have three grandparents visiting for the holidays and having so much attention paid to me.  Being picked up and held by all was fun!!!  I think it would have been the same if I wasn't so sick, but I was and it was especially nice to have 5 adults doting on me all the time.  As I wrote before I have been (no joke) sick since September 30.  Before I saw a specialist on Dec. 30 who is going to operate on me (will explain) I came down with something call Roseola!  Fever of 103.5, red spots everywhere, and of course an ear infection.

With the 5th or 6th ear infection since moving to Colorado it was decided that I have have tubes put in my ears and have my adenoids taken out.  My mother is super nervous but also excited.  I can see and FEEL why too!  I am not sleeping much.  Even with the antibiotics and Tylenol I am not sleeping much and getting up pretty much every hour on the hour which leads to a crabby kid and run down parents!  So pretty much we are all looking forward to some relief (hopefully!)

In other news I am learning my letters with help from the Frig!  So far I can pick out and say the A, B, X, Y, R, E, and O.  I am quite dramatic about it and proud when I learn a new one! I am almost there with the W, but I can't say it correctly.  Hopefully being able to hear will improve all this!!!  Going with this, I am pretty set in my ways and where the letters have to go.  In particular the " D's".  For some reason my parents think that the D's go on the fridge with everything else, but I am set that they go in the silverware drawer!  About 6 - 8 times a day we go back and forth from putting them on the fridge and putting them back in the drawer!  Silly parents!

That is about it.  Next time I write I should have an update about the ears!

With Love,
