Vacation!

I cannot wait till morning! Averie and I are loading up and taking a road trip to Sandpoint, ID for some much needed R&R! I am extra excited about this trip because Averie is going to get to ride a horse for the first time! I have a pretty good feeling she is going to love it. She has a small obsession with horses...hence her horse birthday cake and her Build-a-Bear Pony named Boy...lol..she has been wanting to ride since last fall and we just haven't had a chance till now. I am interested to find out if they have a positive effect on her? I need to do some research, but I know there are many places that offer riding as a type of therapy for children with different disabilities. I've decided that we are going to take our time on this drive...stop and smell the roses so to speak....because sometimes I think we rush to get through life and I want to stop doing that. I want to enjoy every minute I have with my little girl!! :)

Oh! I almost forgot! Averie had a dentist appointment on Wednesday and I'm sad to say, her teeth are as bad as mine were! Lol! She has to have 4 pulled out to make room for the two that are coming in BEHIND them. She also needs sealants on her permanent molars and a good old fashioned cleaning! I was very proud of her for at least allowing the dentist to look in her mouth. He couldn't get much closer so all of her dental work will be done while she is sedated. I have to coordinate with all her docs to make sure she can go under anesthesia at the dental office. More than likely though, she will have all the work done at Emmanuel Hospital in Portland, OR. I will feel much safer knowing her doctors are close and they have everything they need in case of emergency. I am hoping all this work can be postponed till AFTER my cousins wedding...but if not, Averie is going to be adorable missing all her front teeth ( one on top is days away from coming out!) I also think the tooth fairy better be thinking of an extra special reward, cause there are going to be lots of teeth under Miss Averie's pillow!!
