Time Flies

The saying "Time Flies" is very appropriate to how things have been. So much has happened the current big thing is we are moving into our own home.

Just a brief update on Aaliyah. She's struggling with her feeds again but overall she's doing fairly well. She's getting ready for school in the fall.

It's been three years since we found out about Natalia and this year we had people post flowers for her. I'm working on that book.

Now on to Melody, where do I begin? Well first off how about some of her new nicknames... The top two are Ms. Drama and Lttle Big Sister.

She has got a DIVA personality at times but over all she has a beautiful soul. Truly a sweet gentle girl. She comforts Aaliyah when she's upset. She tries to do all the things we do for Aaliyah. She hands us Aaliyahs meds, makes sure that Aaliyah is connected to her feeding pump, she even wipes her when I change Aaliyahs diapers. While I don't expect her to do these things, I want her to understand and also encourage her to do things right. I am a firm believer in teaching a child about the workings of things in their lives. Aaliyahs medical needs are a huge part of our life and her understanding them will only enrich her life.

Melody loves to play with balls. She will play catch. She loves her dolls and cares for them exactly the way we do Aaliyah. Down to giving them meds. She has 4 dolls in particular that she absolutely loves. Twin dolls and her Disney toddler dolls. The toddler dolls now go everywhere with us. Don't get me wrong she is a HUGE Doc Mcstuffins fan.

We were going to do a big party but she's very shy and decided instead we will do up her room big. Next year we will do a party.

She's independent, but a mamas girl. She is shy around strangers if they try and pick her up but LOVES to smile and wave if they give her space. She is generous with her food and things she lives.

Melody is an amazing little sister and I truly believe she makes her sisters proud.
