It is Sidney's Day!

Time is a thing that I do not have enough of!!! Life has been crazy but we did manage to celebrate Sidney's coming home day today. She got to have a frosted cookie after breakfast, which although the frosting was pink, and she much prefers red, she decided she would eat it anyhow! We ran a hundred errands this afternoon which I normally do not attempt to do on my own with the girls but things actually went fairly well. Could we really be making advancements on this front?
Four years ago, Sidney left the NICU after a bumpy 80 day stay. She had numerous infections that made her swell up really big and she had some eye problems. She came home four days after McKenzy and they were so happy to be together (that is them in the swing above). The last year has been full of changes for Sidney. She is growing up so quick. In November, she got Spiderman red glasses and that seems to really help her out. She looks so cute in them and will often comment on how she can see better.

We had spaghetti for dinner tonight and that is Sidney's favorite! She also loves to wear costumes! When I looked back over the pictures that I had taken of the day I think I counted four different costumes!

She choose Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream for her treat. Too bad Poppie is in Mexico, he is her ice cream buddy! Auntie Roo and Uncle Jay came down for dinner and helped celebrate Sidney's day. Sidney is a sweet girl that has a very stubborn side to her! She is always ready to lend a hand in the kitchen and loves to just hang out by Mommy and Daddy. She idolizes Jamahl and Spiderman and is always looking to impress her big brother. Sidney, you are one determined little girl and that will make people pay attention! I know someday you are actually going to fly, so keep up the trying! Your role as the observer is a very important one and your seriousness will serve you well. Your sweet little smile always lights up my heart and your twisty kisses are great. Always keep your individual spirit...you never know where it may lead. We love you and are so proud of you.
