The joys of childhood
Emma is almost done her first year of school!!! It's been a busy year for her. She adapted to school pretty well. Her EA is the most amazing woman. She is just like Emma. Busy, happy, energetic; yet firm...Glory be; Emma got granted a wish from the Children's wish foundation and brought us all to Disney World and a Disney Cruise. WHAT FUN THAT WAS!!!
Back to reality in March. They cannot get a conclusive hearing test on her and tried for the last 2 years to do a heart echo while awake. It's Miss Emma they're dealing with here. How can she possibly lied down still for 40 minutes when she runs to even grab a kiss from you? Emma knows only one speed: FAST. So in May, they finally put Emma to sleep in order to run all these tests. Now we are waiting for a very uncomfortable bowel test and a sleep study.
In June, Emma was asked to be part of an awareness campain for Community Living Glengarry. This year's theme is inclusion in the schools. Her beautiful face is now on book marks and posters all over our county.
But today, one of the simple joys of being a kid happened to Emma. There it was in her school bag, along with the rest of her stuff: a Birthday Party Invitation; Emma's very first Birthday Party Invitation!!! I never gave much thought to this event but it caught me; I almost cried from joy. I don't even know the little boy who invited her but we are definitely going!!!

How wonderful! I hope she has a blast at that party - sounds like she is the sort of little girl who has a blast wherever she is!
There is nothing sweeter than that first Birthday Party invitation...its that proclamation to the world that "Miss Emma has arrived!!"
I hope she has tons of fun!!!
