Today was a big day for Saidey! She had Pre School Orientation. Ben and I had decided not to send Saidey to pre school but after talking to Saideys Speech Therapy teacher again we changed our minds. So we registered her Monday and today she got to go see what it was all about. I'm kind of glad it all happened so fast so I couldn't change my mind!
We are hoping that pre school will help her slow down and pronounce her words clearer, and I am sure it will benefit her in so many other ways as well. Hannah and I will miss her like crazy! ( But Hannah does seem to love evenings when Saidey hasn't napped and so Saidey is the first to go to bed! It is fun to listen to her talk and watch her play without Saidey because she definetly spends most of her day copying her big sister!)
The fact that Saidey is going to pre school is huge for me! A year ago there was no way I could even consider it! Ever since Saidey was born 4 and a half years ago I have become sickness germaphobe ! I think it started when we had to be so, so careful in the NICU sanitizing our hands, and even when we got to take her home after 6 weeks her pediatrician still said we needed to keep her out of the church nursery and away from sick kids. When Saidey did somehow manage to catch a tummy bug she ended up in the hospital due to dehydration twice in one year. This was scary and just made my phobia worse. Thankfully Saidey can now deal with tummy bugs no problem and is a superstar cold fighter! Being Saideys mom has made me a stronger person, and looking back I wouldn't want it any other way! I am so thankful to God for taking my phobia away! It took 4 years and daily prayers. I am also thankful that Ben was so patient. Ben loves people, so having a germaphobe wife was super hard for him! It was so easy for me to just keep Saidey at home away from all the germs and we definetly stayed home a lot more that Ben would have liked. I still don't like it when my girls get sick but I know its good for them and while many people would still consider me a sickness germaphobe I am very excited at how much better I've gotten!
Saidey four and a half years ago! Proof that there can be miracles if you believe!
Saidey today after Pre School Orientation! Happy and Healthy!
