at the botanical gardens

We celebrated Mother's Day with the family at Botanical Gardens. 

 Sadie absolutely loves to be around other people, smiling, laughing, simply

exploring. This photo was taken after she spent a few minutes waiting in
line to see the bald eagle nest at the Botanical Gardens. She patiently
stood there and when her turn came, she jumped up and down with her arms in
the air indicating that she wanted to look next. And she actually did look
for just a second. But most of all she enjoyed being on the step to the
telescope and Memaw standing behind her trying to help.

Ortho update

I'm making this short and sweet because I'm exhausted. We saw the orthopedic surgeon yesterday for Sadie's annual checkup. He said her feet look good, but she is still toeing-in. He recommended tibia torsion surgery, where the tibia is cut and then turned, and reattached so the foot is turned out or straight. She would then be in casts for 6 weeks....sounds like ZERO fun...for me or her...for right now...i say NO.

I would like to say for the record that I don't agree with the doctor that said Sadie was experiencing the terrible 2s....She didn't feel good and had the beginning symptoms of a sinus infection. She probably had a headache...anyway, she ended up being on back to back antibiotics 5 days after that appointment and a runny nose 1 day after that appointment. AND she is now on allegra for allergies.
