Anna....

There have been many times I have wanted to come to the computer to update you on Anna. But I wonder, "Is that something someone would want to read?" They are small things in life, our little lives, and perhaps they are important to only me....

Anna maintained her weight when it was checked at her last appointment.

Anna turned three years old at the beginning of October.

Anna feels that being able to potty on the toilet herself definitely makes her a "big girl."

Anna jumped up on a two-wheeled bike (with training wheels) and peddled around the street herself.

Anna loves to be outside.

Anna has a habit of putting her index finger on her upper lip- which drives me crazy because of
concern for spread of germs.

Anna stopped eating for a few days when she got a fever- and when the fever went away, she continued to push away her food.

Because we love Anna, we declined a birthday invitation to an outdoor/indoor play land. A very
difficult decision.

Anna comes up to me numerous times a day and hugs me and says, "I love you."

Anna told the pediatrician that she was going to be "The Queen" for Halloween. Not "a princess", not "a queen"- The Queen.

Anna blows herself kisses in the mirror each night before she crawls into bed.

Anna is sick right now. The fever was followed by a heavy wet cough. We are doing three breathing treatments a day and have her on an antibiotic. She has not been sick for a long time.  I forgot how hard it is. But she reminds me when it is time for her extra treatments- taking it all in stride...
