Our Christmas Break started off with an Ortho appointment. Because of Maria's SB, she also has a curved spine, which gets check up on every 6 months. Well, good news she is doing great. No major change in her back and everyone continues to be happy with where she is at with walking and mobility....honestly she continues to impress them so much. That being said, snow and ice are not Maria's friend. We had an ice storm on Thursday night before the Ortho appt and then a snow storm on Saturday where we ended up with a good 6 inches of snow if not 8. She did well with the snow, but did slip going down the steps because of ice....I was spotting her as I always do with snow and ice and was able to prevent her from really hurting herself. It also helped she knew it might happen and was giggling as I helped her sit down on the step.
Christmas Eve was spent at my parent's home. It was mostly a relaxing day spent playing cards, cooking and watching my mom finish things up. We had a nice time, although I wasn't feeling the best. This was our 2nd Christmas Day together. She has grown so much....it was neat to see the way she responded to things. I had asked Maria after her birthday what she wanted for Christmas. She had told me she didn't know because she has everything she wants and more. She did end up saying she wanted initial M earrings. After much thought I decided to get Maria an iPod nano. She loves listening to music and often will request to listen to music in the evenings. Plus I figured that it was an age appropriate gift that would be easy for her to carry. She loved it....in fact she is in bed listening to it right now through a little speaker accessory kit that came with it. Yup, we had to load it up with songs tonight. I would guess almost half are Bulgarian.
We spent time with family today, grand parents, uncle, cousins, great grandparents and my mom's cousin and her husband. It was a nice day and a lot of fun. We also did a fun game referred to as candy crush.....candy wrapped through a ball of Saran Wrap. The kids loved it and had lots of fun. On the way home Maria said she didn't want the day to end. She wanted more time with family having fun. Hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas too.
