Kindergarten
Seriously... my child is almost old enough to start school. I'm so sad about it! After all... she's my little 3lb 12oz little baby. I cannot believe how fast time goes by. At the beginning of next month she will turn 5 and in August she will start school!

Skating.... is like riding a bike!
I took Baylee skating yesterday. She got a pair of skates for Christmas from Santa and has been practicing in the house. Her friend Phoebe had a skating birthday party this year and that's what we had planned to do for Baylee's party in the next month.
I did not get to see her skate at Phoebe's party because I stayed home and gave Blair a nap. So, this was the first time I saw her skate outside of our house.
SHE.IS.AMAZING! For someone that is 4 years old she was going MY SPEED out there and keeping up. She fell a few times, but for the most part she did great! I watched her the whole time and couldn't help but feel sad because of how big she is getting. And, she wasn't holding on to me, the wall or anyone else! She actually did better NOT holding on. I showed her how to kind of lean forward to help with her balance.
Skating was something I loved from a very early age. I remember my best friends parents friends owned our skating rink in the next town and we were there... every Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. YES.... I loved it that much. And, this went on for several years! So, I'm glad she shares my love for skating as well... because honestly... it felt SO good getting back out on the floor! :)
So, like I said... skating IS like riding a bike. You never forget how to do it and your moves come right back!

PS - I did not take my camera this time, but promise I'm sure we will be going back even before her party and will get some then! :)

Sledding Pics
Okay, so this time around we actually got enough of the white stuff we found a HUGE hill to go sledding! The first hill was pretty sweet and you could get up enough speed to have fun on.
BUT, we are not about "average" around here. Oh no... my Brother-in-Law had to go down the trail and through the woods and find the MOTHER of all hills! We are talking 45 degrees and about 200-300 yards LONG... with a sweet little snow ramp built about 3/4 of the way down. You will see what I'm talking about in the pics. Of course... the pics don't do the hill justice in just how big and steep it really was! BUT.IT.WAS.FUN!
This was the first hill and my brother-in-law wiped out and went in the bushes!
My Nephews
You can see in this last picture that my Sister was FLYING down the hill and wiped out. I was laughing SO HARD (yes, I almost pee'd my pants) that I didn't get any pics of the aftermath. But, TRUST ME... it was funny!
And, see how her right leg is sticking straight out? I guess when she landed she hurt it really bad and was limping around yesterday. I hope it's okay!

GOOD news!
Baylee had her 2nd Heart Cath on Tuesday. Her heart pressure before we started meds were 55. After this Heart Cath I'm excited to report that her pressure number was 31!!!!!!!!!! Can I get a whoop whoop???? Holy cow!!! We couldn't be more happy about this. Plus, she didn't spike a fever like she did last time and she did great in the hospital. Even took out BOTH her IV's in her foot all by herself. YES, the nurse let her take out her own IV's to show her it wouldn't hurt. Whatever it takes right?
Right now Britt took Baylee sledding. It's been snowing all day and is suppose to snow all afternoon and tonight!

Potty update
Blair pooped on the big girl potty! NOT her potty chair, but the regular toliet. I think she was actually excited to flush it. I had no idea she would poop... only thought she would pee!
Blair's appointment went well. They want to see her back in 6 months. She does indeed have a hernia, but as long as we keep some pressure on it they are not concerned to go in and fix anything right now. Juli (our awesome OT) is getting the paperwork ready so she can get fitted for a Benik Vest. She will wear this in place of her "wrap" that we have been doing. This is very thin and hopefully take some weight of her belly off her back. We tried this vest before she had surgery and it just didn't give the support she needed all the way around her O. Now that she has had surgery I think it will be perfect!
Baylee is back to pre-school and loving it. She's learning new things everyday and we are working on word recognition a little bit. Hopefully she will have a fairly good group of words she can recognize by the time she starts Kindergarten this fall. She is really in to skating lately... ever since she got a pair of skates for Christmas. She is going to have a skating party for her 5 year old party! I CANNOT believe she is almost 5!

Look who is starting to use the big girl potty!
Just thought I would get these pics out here. I thought they were SO cute! She HATED sitting on the potty and then one day she was just okay with it. I think she was just scared of it at first.
