After days of not eating, not drinking enough, sleeping around the clock, complaining about chest and stomach pains, and – gasp! – not caring about airplanes, I found myself in the emergency room of Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. I can’t say it was the most fun 6 hours of my life. But I’m a trooper and the toughest kid around.
Yesterday was my big developmental evaluation at the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. I’ve been on the waiting list for months and the day was finally here! And it was…so boring. Four hours of questions and “games” with a developmental pediatrician and speech language pathologist. And there was almost no talk of airplanes!
I was told I get to come back for another round in a few weeks with an occupational therapist and psychologist. Sounds like a party. 😐
The mission was to find the perfect Christmas tree.
Mission: Accomplished.
Yesterday, we headed back home. I had fun hanging out with my new cousin, Kenji, and of course…plane watching!
I don’t have school this week, so I went on a playdate with my school friend Eliwen yesterday. I showed up at the indoor playground before her and their lack of airplanes was really bumming me out. They just had one fighter jet…meh. So I pushed around a lawnmower until she arrived. But then we had fun together!
I saw my naturopath the other day and there were awesome passenger planes flying overhead. I was so excited, I didn’t even realize that creepy horse was looking at me!
Yesterday, I went to the Evergreen Aviation Museum with Daddy and Grandpa! I saw sooooo many planes, including the Spruce Goose. One of my favorite things to do was sit in some airplane seats because passenger planes are my favorite! When I got home, I made my own LEGO version of the Spruce Goose.
Grandpa is here visiting and he loves airplanes just like me! I spent the morning showing him my whole fleet of planes. For most of the day, he and Daddy went through the house and fixed a bunch of stuff, so I went to the playground with Mommy. Then in the evening, Daddy and I started building a model airplane that Grandpa brought from New York. I’m the gluer!
Yesterday, Mommy and I went to the Portland International Airport to watch airplanes takeoff and land. I saw United, Delta, Southwest, Virgin America, some private jets, a few recreational aircraft, and a military fighter jet!
