Hope you are having a great summer! So far we are. Mommy is home enjoying her summer with me and she started taking classes to get her Master’s Degree in Special Education. I keep trying to help her out with her papers, but she keeps telling me, “No!” when I go to type for her. And Daddy is enjoying his summer by going camping and fishing with Paw Paw and JJ. I’m not quite old enough to go yet, but maybe next year!
I am learning how to walk all by myself. I can get across the living room and I sometimes I still fall down, but I have to have help still getting up without something to hold onto. Mr. Ryan and I are working on that in my Physical Therapy class. I have that once a week! And I’m going to be adding another class too, Speech Therapy. Ms. Debbie is going to help me to use sounds and words to mean things. Although, I think I am doing just fine. I’ve got “da-da-da-da-da” down really good! I even say “ba” every now and again!
Coming up in July, we are going to be busy, busy, busy! First, JJ gets to come and stay ALL month! He is so much fun to play with. He always makes me laugh! And then, on July 10th is Mommy’s birthday and we are going to have another benefit for my surgeries. This one is going to be a Team Roping one! I can’t wait. The top winner gets a saddle with my name on it and the average winners get belt buckles that are as big as my head! (Well, they say “Higginbotham Benefit Champion” on them, so they had to be big! Besides, everything is bigger here in Texas anyway!) I attached a flyer and a picture of the belt buckle. Granny is going today to check out the saddle. I can’t wait to see that. I get to help present it to the winner at the end of the night! Hope you can all come out and join us for this event! If you can’t, we understand! We know you would if you could!
After the summer, I get to go back to school. I get to move up to the toddler room if I can get this whole walking thing down. I know I can do it! Mommy is still teaching Pre-k, but she won’t be teaching colorguard this year. She wanted more time to spend at home with me and Daddy! My next surgery will be around October or November. They are going to fix my cleft palate, so that when I eat food won’t go up my nose so much! (Thank goodness! I HATE it when everyone keeps trying to wipe my nose!) They also might straighten out my thumbs at the same time. We aren’t sure about that one yet though. That will be up to Dr. Kelley and Dr. Sharma to work out. We will be sure to keep you posted on all the great things coming up.
Hope things are going well with you and your families too! Also, keep saving tabs for the Ronald McDonald House too! The boy scout troop at Mommy’s school saved a ton! We got to take pictures for the newspaper!
Well, I gotta go now! Mommy says it is time to eat lunch… Mixed veggies and apple/blueberries. Yummy!
All my love,
