Missing Dance Class

I took these pictures the week Desi was recovering from her tonsillectomy. She was missing dance class and her friends. She came out in her leotard, ready to go. Of course she couldn't and it was the wrong time of day, but none of that mattered. So, I let her practice. Really, I couldn't stop her. She was bored!

Ran to her room quick for a costume detail. Added purple winter cap.

Whole new costume. Love the spring colors. Good attention to detail with necklace, hat and purse.
That hint of belly is very cute, when you are six.

And those heels are to die for!

No More Tonsils (nor adenoids)

Desirae woke up this morning full of spit and vinegar. No more pain medicine for her. It was a struggle to get the antibiotic into her. She is protesting eating and drinking as well. She will....when she gets hungry. She's drinking when SHE is thirsty, all good signs. The picture above is my girl, with all her tonsillectomy props. The puppet "Troll" is one of her favorite toys, and he made the trip to the hospital with us.

This beautiful little quilt was made by the Volunteers for Sacred Heart. It's stamped with an angel and logo "Comfort Angels". How SWEET, and what a neat treasure. We've since referred to it as Desi's Tonsil Blanket.

This book was mine when I had my tonsils out. Copyright was 1966, but dated Nov. 24, 1967 by my Mom. Desirae is LOVING this book, even though Mary Anne stayed over night in the hospital. We were let go 3 hrs after surgery. Times have changed! I have no idea why this book has been with me all these years, as I have never paid any real attention to it.. I can only think the reason was divine. It's resting on the bed with my little girl as I type.
