First Day of Preschool

Kayla started her first day of Preschool in September. She loves it.

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland for our family vacation this year. Grandma and Grandpa Seeholzer, Eric and family, Konie and family, and us. It was awesome.

It was Kayla's first time to go on an airplane and to disneyland. We had to get up really early to be at the airport. I thought Kayla would sleep on the way down, but she was up. She was very excited. I thought she might be scared when the plane took off, but not her, we got a ways up in the air and she yells out "LOOK OUT BELOW". It had all of us laughing. It was really funny.

She was excited to see Disneyland. I'm not sure if she realized everything we would be doing and seeing until she was actually there. She said, mom look at the castle. Is that where Cinderella lives?

One of my favorite times was when Kayla met Mickey Mouse for the first time, he bent down and she kissed his nose. It was super cute.



Kayla had an autograph book that she had the characters sign. She was really excited to get all the princesses autographs and pictures. We got to see Ariel, Belle, Snow White, Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Jasmine, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Mulan. I think her favorite was when she saw Jasmine and Aladdin together. They signed her book Jasmine loves Aladdin. It was super cute. Kayla said that her favorite princess to meet was Cinderella. She was so beautiful and nice.

She danced with Minnie Mouse at Minnie's breakfast, that was a lot of fun. She met alot of other characters there also. The chef came out and talked to me and said that they could make Kayla Micky Mouse Waffles out of rice flour and keep it allergy friendly. It was great. They were also able to make Kayla lunch at Ariel's Grotto. Disney is wonderful.



Kayla was not scared to go on any ride. She went on all of the ones that she was tall enough for, even Tower of Terror, and Space Mountain. She is fearless. One of her favorite rides was the tea cups.



The only time she got upset and cried was during the parade when a Pirate came over and stared at her. She started screaming and crying. It was sort of funny, but not. She just didn't like the pirates.

Six days seems like a long time, but it seemed to fly by. The best part for me was being with everyone and watching Kayla enjoy herself so much. We can't wait to go back to the most wonderful place on earth..........

Allergy Update

Last week Kayla went to her Semi-annual Allergy test. She had the blood test this time. She was very nervous because she is starting to remember how NOT fun this stuff is. She didn't want to go, but after a while she decided she could be brave and do it. She was able to choose the color of her bandage, she picked purple and she was able to pick a prize out of the treasure box, she picked a colorful bracelet. Kayla was so brave, she didn't even cry.

We received Kayla's test results on Friday. Nothing much has changed, she is still extremely allergic to milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, beef, and pork. One good bit of new is that she received the go ahead to try apple. Hopefully she will tolerate it and her skin won't react. If so, this will be great because apple is in a lot of things. Alot of juice, fruit snacks, ect have apple juice in them. Also, Kayla loved applesauce as a baby. Hopefully she will like it again.

She is also cleared to have her MMR immunization. We will go to her pediatrician this Thursday to have the shot. It will have to be done in stages. They will have to give her part of the shot, then wait 30 minutes, then give her the rest of the shot, then observe her for an hour. Should be an awesome experience for both of us. NOT. I am really scared about this, but it is important that she have this immunization, especially with measles in the valley. Hopefully nothing will go wrong and she will be able to tolerate it. Keep your fingers crossed.

I am so proud of Kayla, this is a lot for a little girl to handle. She does it without complaining and always asks if she can have something before she eats it. She doesn't seem to mind when others are eating things that she can't have, as long as she can have something.

Kayla is a joy in my life. She is so beautiful and so fun. She is my little lambie. I love her more than words can say. I just wish I could make all her health problems go away. Maybe someday....until then we'll just keep doing the best we can.
