Sunday morning of Memorial Day weekend. Grace turned 4 on Wednesday, and she made the most of it. She was so excited she woke up about a half hour earlier than normal that morning. She had a great day at school, as I think her classmates, teachers, cooks, custodians, and all other school personnel knew it was her birthday (most likely because she'd been telling all of them it was coming for the past month). Then we took her out to eat that night so she could get sung to (again), and right before bedtime we gave her her big present, which is a humongous dollhouse with about 80 pieces of furniture.
The previous weekend we were down in Pella, and we got to spend a little time with our friends the Turnbulls. Their little Stella is doing well, and we're excited that they're planning on heading to the FSMA national conference in Cincinatti (we are too) in June.
Tomorrow we're having a little gathering for Grace's birthday, and we have family from both sides coming, as well as some friends from in town. Should be a fitting finale for Grace's birthday week.
Grace hasn't talked much the past couple weeks about not walking, and we're wondering if maybe she' started to get a grasp of it. There for a while she seemed really frustrated with things and would get upset pretty easily, and we didn't know if it was an age thing or her coming to terms with not walking like other kids. We've tried to continue to be honest and positive with her.
We STILL don't know the results of the SMA test on our new baby, but we expect to get that call early this week. We haven't let up in praying for good news, but either way it'll be nice to know and get this waiting over with. It's been a pretty excruciating four weeks!
