July …
I love July b/c of the fireworks, no tornadoes , and no school….. just sunny weather, swimming pool is clean and FIREWORKS… Did I say I love fireworks… Aunt Dawn came to visit but she was a sleepy head! Auntie Lisa , Alex ,Tony , Daddy, Aunt Dawn and of course Daddy , Mummy and I went to Cumberland Furnace for our new yearly tradition fireworks.. it was hotter this year b/c no rain.. Last year we had to hold the tent when a mini storm came thru .. I thought it was funny as Tony, mummy and Lisa held the tent in place.. This year was hot but I had a hot dog and watermelon and got to cool off in the car when needed.. I sat around and entertained myself somewhat waiting for the sun to go to sleep. It doesn’t go to sleep until like 9 around here so seemed like a long time but I was good and excited to see them once they started.. I love the fireworks .. the loud poppy and pretty lights are amazing!!!!! They don’t scare me at all.. I could watch them all the time.. .
Saddle up I’m doing much better with steering . I love to ride . I’m on Rita this session and her and I have been doing well together .
Gavin, my best friend and Auntie Danielle, Uncle Larry , Jaxson, and Mallori came over and we swam and ate lots of food .. Anytime there are lots of people there is lots of food.. I don’t always want to eat all of it .. I really prefer veggies or little Debbie but I eat enough to make mum happy and move to the next thing…
I wanted to make a Paddington Build a bear but the store didn’t have it , it was online only so they had it mailed to me and we took it back to the store to fluff and make it so I could see Cameron again!! She is so sweet.. I think it is super funny to push the pedal and watch it fluff up. Cameron put a special heart in it and said some sweet things .. then she sewed it up. I loved on it and really loved it a lot. She even helped me dress him.
Speech Miss Hilary is moving on up so now I am going to see her later in the afternoon and see Miss Morgan first.. I love miss Morgan but she threw me under the bus with all the things I can do, now I have to do things I didn’t want to do on my own because it is hard but I am making it.. Mum said it makes me stronger to do it on my own . .
PT Miss Elizabeth is keeping me moving but her baby is almost here so I won’t be seeing her as much until she gets back from having her baby.
Miss Morgan has helped me to use my silverware and be able to eat by myself. I am able to put on my shirt.. still have a little problems with arms but I get it on and know the tag goes in back. . I’m better getting things on the right way than mummy she is always backwards with things.. I can now put my shoes on by myself and I can put on underwear and pants but it is a little tricky. We are working on buttons and jeans , zippers and buttons.
I am in a study at Vanderbilt and got to do all kinds of brain testing .. I was able to show them all how super smart I am .. Everyone there was so sweet to me. It was there for 4 hours but it didn’t seem that long b/c I got to play games .. We went over to another building and I did a test with an older kid and it was cool. We had these caps on (didn’t like that part ) more cords on my head .. ugh.. but we talked to each other so they could monitor brain activity as we held a conversation. Of course he talks better than me so he did more talking I just listed and responded in small ways..
Music- Miss Kate is still so much fun we dance and play. I write, sing, play music and I truly enjoy all my time with her.. I still will not share with mum and refuse to let her in my sessions this is my weekly play time..
I talked mum into tea late today.. Well I was a total giggle box and I jumped around watching tv and giggled till probably midnight and finally it wore off and I went to sleep. Sometimes I just need to play some.. My GI doctor has me trying Prolosec now to see if the stuff in my throat is from me having something that makes a weird form of acid in my throat .. think maybe I feel better b/c I am truly want to play more now… So maybe she is on to something…
I got a really really COOOOOOOOL Gift from Buc-ee Sister this month..She wrote a book called “Buc-ee Goes To School”. It is sooooo amazing.. I got it the day I had music and opened my box in the car.. I took it and Miss Kate and I read it and sang about it.. She even SIGNED it for me and wrote a sweet message…. I was super excited and my BIG BUC-EE holds it for me and we read it together..
My Aunt Teen - Teen and Uncle Vaugh made a quick stop b/c Auntie Teen -Teen was working in Nashville for the week.. .WE bought her some cookies but daddy ate them .. So we will get her more and mail them. Was super amazing to see them even if just for a night. I love them… WE went to Jeannines and had breakfast so they could have a GOOD breakfast before starting her work week in Nashville. They left after breakfast and we headed back for mummy to finish work.
My Aunt Mary came to stay overnight when she had an appt in Nashville and she spent two nights so I could see her. I really miss her living close by, but am glad I still see her some….
Saddle up it has been kind of TEXAS hot here in Tennessee and so it is too hot to saddle up the horses so instead we gave them a bath and they really love baths and the cool water.. I love taking care of my horse.. I miss my miss Stephanie but she did come have dinner after therapy with us so I am glad I still get to see her … She has things she has to do and I totally understand busy ….
Daddy still not feeling well he keeps getting dizzy and sometimes falling … Mummy keeps telling him to stop taking one of his medications but he doesn’t like to listen to her b/c she isn’t a doctor. He finally went to his doctor and they said to STOP taking the same medications mum said.. it was a blood pressure medicine and apparently his dizziness was b/c his blood pressure was like 40 or something.. I hear bits and pieces but really I just want to print on my printer and stay out of his medical stuff.. I have my own :)
3D prints are still my favorite thing, I am printing Shrek, Fireman Sam, Bears, mice, pigs and all sorts of fun things… If you want me to make you something tell me what color and what you like.. I have mummy desk all decorated with things.. She likes her mosquito…
WE had a BIG party at the house it was a Birthday For Auntie Lisa (surprise Birthday..) I love surprises and love birthday’s b/c they come with CAKE and she loves chocolate like me.. They had all sorts of food, set up the big slip n slide and the adults were about to kill themselves… I decided I would go inside and stay way way away from that.. I might not understand some forms of danger but do understand I DON’T THINK THAT IS SAFE FOR ME….
Mummy new job helping me (as if she doesn’t always help me but this is thru a company and with the bill she got passed apparently this is a way to help with some of my appts ). But the company she is working for has two amazing ladies Miss Bernice and Miss Laverne that came to visit me and see our home. They are so sweet.. I gave them some 3D prints and mummy gave them some veggies from our garden…. We love sharing what we make!!
Mom’s car is my new fascination I want to drive !!!! I have been getting into mum truck.. popping the hood and I still have not figured out how to make the hood open.. (I will ) (she hopes I won’t). I get in the driver seat and pretend to drive … She started locking the car and putting her keys somewhere so I couldn’t get into the car, so I tried to open with a screw driver and that didn’t work well.. (she wasn’t happy). I found the keys hanging finally figured that out and found a way to climb up (thanks to Napa teaching me to climb) and go them.. Got in the truck , buckled up for safety (you have to always buckle up). And started the car.. I pushed the button for the garage door to open and well we have a SMART HOME.. . wish it wasn’t so smart I was caught before I could go driving!!! Mum came running down and I had to get out of the vehicle … she hugged me and said Liam you can’t drive you are only 9.. why can’t I drive at 9? My thoughts…She said the law states you have to be 16 and have a license to drive.. now the keys go with her everywhere and I have no way to get them and the car is locked so I can’t get in to try to figure out how to pop the hood and look under the hood and find things cool to take apart like my Youtube videos… Daddy thinks they should get me a project car… might be fun. But doubt I would like it since it isn’t mummy’s car I like to play and do things I am not supposed to do like a kid not have something it is ok to do things like that too.. I’m bored being home. Summer is tooooo long!!!! I want to do things so I’m getting into and exploring more than normal. Broke daddy code on the computer it was hard but I got in and printed what I wanted to since he won’t listen! He prints his stuff on all my printers he has three printers I have mine bambu and my resin so he needs to leave mine alone!!! I just stop his prints and print what I want when he won’t listen… teach him to not share my things with me, plus now I can do things on his computer since I figured his passcode out.. Mum can’t even remember it and they have Been together forever!!
Mummy and sissy got me my new shoes for school I didn’t have to go this year since I wear the same size as them , they just tried on for me.
I like them a lot. Mummy said she would start buying what she likes so she could have my hand me downs now… hahaah… I wear shoes out she is out of luck there!
We have open house for school since it starts next week.. I am excited to have that routine and to learn again.. We have a new teacher named Mr. Tony. He is going to be fun.. I hope I can get him to let me jump and pull like Mr. Greg. I try not to do that with the girls b/c I am so strong don’t want them to get hurt.
AUGUST here we come… Summer is almost over and we are all ready for the cooler months - minus the pool shut down.. I want to swim but unlike TEXAS the water does get cold here ..
Love you all ,
Liam
