This morning we took Arianna to ‘Breakfast with Elmo’ at a local baby gym. This is the first time EVER to have her around that many children but she is so into Elmo and Arianna’s friend Lexi was going. The girls had a blast and Arianna was SO into Elmo. She sat on his lap and would keep walking up to him and screaming at him. This was a happy scream since she does not vocalize well, when she is excited and wants your attention she just screams. I got pretty paranoid hearing the kids and parents coughing and I was sanitizing like crazy. Arianna did some really good walking with the occasional bump from another child. I don’t think we’ll be doing that again anytime soon but it was nice to watch her being a kid and having fun. I did notice that a lot of younger kids were doing things that Arianna just started doing or isn’t even doing yet. There were so many little ones walking around so well and they had to be under a year old. I really try not to let this bother me, because she is doing so well. I became more aware of her speech delays but so happy she is able to communicate with sign language. The latest sign she learned is ‘again’, and she kept signing ‘again’ so go down the slide. It was SO cute! But all in all it was a great morning, got to hand out with our friends and got to do ‘normal’ things with Arianna.
We are still monitoring her pulse ox at home. Her levels were a lot better yesterday and that was a Lasix day so no surprise. This morning her levels were in the mid 90’s which was good. We just got home and laid her down for a nap and her levels are staying at 88%. She had lots of energy this morning so I’m not too worried. I’ll probably still call tomorrow and schedule an appointment for Tuesday with the pediatrician just to make sure things are ok.
Here are the pictures from this morning!
Don't know why she was pointing at her nose!
HEY...I'm not done with you!
Walking around like a big girl!
"Again, Again!"
Lexi having fun. Isn't she so cute?!?!

How fun!!
Isn't it nice to get out of the house and let them be a little "normal"...
But, I''m like you...once we got out...it's like everyone was sick. I take the hand sanitizer with us everywhere...I even bought a small clorox spray...People better watch out...I'll start bring my big can of lysol and spray them down if they stand too close!!!
The pics are adorable!!! What a big girl she is walking around...that had to just make your heart melt!
Great pics! Thanks so much for sharing. What a precious little girl. I, too, know what you mean about being able to do normal stuff. It's so refreshing.
Try not to worry about the developmental stuff (I know, better said than done, huh). I have a hard time with this sometimes as well but remind myself to keep things in perspective. It's all about perspective!
love the pics with Elmo..so cute! Plus the magazine picture is awesome! You are doing a great job of spreading the word in your area! Yeah for you! Love to see the pics of her walking and climbing..she is making great strides!
I stumbled upon your blog when I googled Breakfast with Elmo. What a sweet little girl! I found your blog very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
