Good Morning Princess

A wonderful and rare thing occured last night. Katie slept through the night again in her own bed. She woke up this morning to an exploded diaper that took a little while to clean up, but after a sponge bath and a change of clothes she headed down stairs for her breakfast of champions. Her choice of foods this morning included a blueberry bar, a granola bar, some cereal, some graham crackers the hot dog you can see her eating in this picture.

In the picture, she is wearing her Dora dress and her princess tiara. What you can't see in the picture is her magic wand lying beside her on the floor which really completes the princess picture.

She is in a good mood this morning, but a little weaker than I am used to seeing her. The meds have really begun to affect her gross motor control and she can no longer stand up or sit up by herself. Her muscles simply don't respond accurately enough or with enough power to move her little body. Once she is up, she can still walk but she is very shaky and unsteady on her feet. She usually just holds one of our hands for balance as she totters from the living room to the kitchen to peruse the food options in the fridge.
