Alison drew a chicken on her scribble pad today. And, if she does say so herself, it is the best looking chicken she’s ever seen.

Sami
Here’s the picture I’ve been promising, of Sami in her wheelchair. She gets around so well and has even learned how to back up when she doesn’t turn wide enough through their gate. Her upper body is noticably stronger now, too. When I went to put the chair on her this morning, she was already trying to get up by herself!
In other news, I seem to smell like goat all the time now. Is it bad that I’m finding the smell less and less offensive?

I cheated
OK, so I tried to cheat. I knew today was going to be a busy day, and so I wrote today’s blog post yesterday, then snuck on here to publish it just now. Only, apparently, it puts the date you originally wrote the post, not the date you published it. So, dang. Oh well. Now I’m posting this! Aren’t you relieved? I know, this is kind of cheating, too.

A GIRL
Hardly anyone called Blythe a boy today. Might it have been the pink bow in her hair, the dainty pearl earrings in her ears, or the pink flowers on her clothes? Perhaps.
As of today she weighs 21 pounds and is in excellent health. We’ve had Kaiser since a few months before she was born, and we just FINALLY switched back to our regular (awesome, terrific, insert all similar words here) doctor. He is being PROACTIVE about the allergic-to-her-own-poo problem that the Kaiser doctors chose to ignore. Not only does he support my decision to postpone any more immunizations (whereas Kaiser was up my butt constantly trying to get me to let them poke her again) he REFUSES to vaccinate, until she sees a pediatric allergist. This is the kind of care everyone deserves, people. I stopped short of kissing his feet, but barely.

Farewell
All primped, pampered, loaded up and ready to go to his new home. I couldn’t count the number of tears I cried, even if I tried.
