Isabelle Bentley

Since Izzie ended up in the ER last weekend we needed to move her bday party to this weekend.  She had a great day with lots of family. 

First day of pre-school is in the books. She has Mrs. Flannery & Mrs. Rivelli.  Scott dropping her off.  And her with classmates playing in the indoor sandbox.

I can't believe Izzie is 3. Her IEP was signed by admin at the last minute so she starts school tomorrow! Such a daddy's girl. Doesn't care about the cupcake, candle or fire... just daddy. Last day of full time daycare as well. Patty has been amazing. 

We had Izzie's first IEP meeting on 10/31/18 and signed it today. It is 21 pages long. She starts school tomorrow. 

Guess who landed herself in the ER and got admitted? By the way she sorted these in size order a few times.  Luckily it's only dehydration and the stomach flu. She left the next day. I have never been more scared because I was administering the SATs and couldn't leave. She was pale white, no fever, lethargic and vomiting. 

Jack went as Superman and Izzie as Supergirl. 

Love these family pics!

We began the evaluation process October 10. Since then she had her classroom evaluation, PT, OT, speech and health evals.  She did better than I would've liked but not awesome. She was very stubborn and bolted a few times. We shall see. Her IEP meeting is October 31. 

The Lucky Few raised $7707!

Raise your hand if you have hand, foot & mouth! At least she's not contagious!

And so it begins...

The kids are loving going to Lifesong church - we go every week. 

Jackson and Izzie making friends at the MDSC play group.

Scott put this amazing swing set together for the kids. 

Izzie got her 3rd set of ear tubes!

Izzie started pool therapy through EIT. She loves it.

Izzie is loving climbing lately. 

Kids met Gronk today!

We don't have to see Izzie's cardiologist for a year!!!!!!!!!!

I got Isabelle's bang trimmed for the first time:

Her top left canines coming in! Now she has 18 teeth!

After visiting the house, Jackson & Isabelle went to West End Creamery for the very first time.  And then to Purgatory chasm for the first time. 

Izzie is cutting her top right 2 year molar and the other 3 canines are extremely slowly coming. Poor kiddo. 4 teeth at once. Not fun.

Izzie's new orthotics came in. She's a size 3 foot but a size 5 shoe. 

Daaaamn. Girls getting bottom left canine. Three at once. Ouch.

I am a little frustrated. Isabelle has not been cooperative for hearing tests so they were supposed to do one while she was under anesthesia getting her tonsils removed... but apparently they didn't. So we had another one today and SURPRISE! the two year old would not cooperate. Shocking.  Her left tube is functioning well but she does not have a tube in her right ear and the hole closed up so surprise - she also has congestion in that ear.  She hears better in her left ear and "borderline normal". She hears voices better than sounds. But ultimately, they can't make a judgement call because she wouldn't cooperate. UGH. 

Izzie is getting yet another tooth. Her top left canine.

The amount of different foods Izzie eats is crazy for a toddler. Olives, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, red peppers... you name it, she eats it. 

Isabelle is getting her 12th tooth - bottom right canine.

Worst mom ever. I didn't even notice that another one of her teeth came in. Her back left molar On top.

Kids saw the Easter bunny today!
