Happy Thanksgiving

     Hi Everyone even though it is late I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I started my day by banging on my bedroom door to let Mama, Daddy, and my big sister Bridget know that I was awake. Mama told me I had to stay in my room for a while because she was making Daddy take out the trash and she was busy trying to fix the food we were taking over to Grandma and Grandpa P's house for dinner with Daddy's side of the family later.
     When I was finally let out (all right it really wasn't that long) Mama and Bridget were busy trying to make cranberry rice, green bean casserole, and candied sweet potatoes though Mama said she was cheating and using canned sweet potatoes.
Since we were eating at 1 all Mama would let me have was 2 toaster waffles. She did get blueberry which I loved. Actually we all had 2 waffles each. I did manage to talk Mama into giving me half an apple sliced up after she told me the ones she had sliced all nicely were for the cranberry rice. I signed apple and the rule in our house is if Stacia signs something especially without being asked she gets what she wants. (Mama feels bad if Stacia signs something and we are out of the item)
      We all made to to Grandma and Grandpa's with 4 minutes to spare for the time Grandma P said we would be eating. We still ended up waiting a little while while they finished carving the turkey and getting serving spoons in all the food.
Grandpa P said the blessing but first he told everyone to put away their electronics. Mama fixed my plate because it was so crowded in the kitchen. I decided to pick at my plate which didn't make Mama very happy at least I don't think so because she kept saying I picked what I thought were some of your favorites.
     Normally I eat really good but I haven't been lately which is starting to concern Mama a bit because I lost some weight about 6 months ago though one of my doctors (the one I end up seeing the most even though he isn't my primary) who went all the way through school with Daddy agrees with Mama that the cause was I finally got strong enough to be more active.
      After Dinner almost everyone went to the park but since no one would take me I didn't get to go. Mama did go down and get one of the toys I like to play with at Grandma and Grandpa's. I have to add here that before they went to the park there was a couple rounds of Bingo from a set my big sister Bridget made at Missionettes for her Family Badge.
     They had to get their family to play the game at home as part of their take home assignment. It's not a lot of fun to just have 2 people play. I wanted to eat the markers since they were smarties. I was told no because their wasn't enough and everyone kept running out as it was. Everyone was teasing each other when they would run out saying "you don't have enough smarts"
      I had a slice of apple pie made by one of my cousins. Mama didn't put enough whip cream on it and I kept trying to talk everyone who came into the kitchen into giving me more. Mama said the rule is a little bit of whip cream with your pie not a little bit of pie with your whip cream.
      We watched the video of Bridget's play though my aunt kept trying to fast forward to where Bridget was on stage. She is on a lot though especially with a minor part. The play was The Tortoise verses The Hare and was put on my our local home school group with the help of Missoula Children's Theater. Mama says that in a few years when I am older I will get to be in the productions too even if I can't talk though she is hoping that I will be talking more by then.
       We came home and Mama frantically tried to get the Christmas Wish List done so that we could get it over to Grandma S. Grandma had actually asked Mama for it way earlier but Mama has been busy with lots of other stuff which since it is getting late and I need my beauty sleep I am going to tell Mama what to say in the blog about me and go to bed.
       Since Daddy is home tonight because he doesn't have to work he is supposed to tuck me in. He didn't so I had to tuck myself in, I turned out my light and shut my door and was under my covers when Mama came into check on me. She thought I would be playing with my toys. I surprised her didn't I. It was nice having Mama come in and tuck me in even though I am big and very independent since I am 4 years old. So what if I can't use my voice to talk because of having Apraxia though it is the Childhood Apraxia of Speech that makes it hard for me to talk.
