Morgan

Morgan is such a cute, vibrant little girl with quite the imagination and will power.  I was looking at our pictures for this year and came across these two photos.  One of her favorite things to do is dress up and a few days before this picture, she received these Mickey ears at a party.  I love the disheveled morning hair paired with Ted's hiking shoes.  Doesn't get cuter than that!!!

We are trying to get this little girl to stop sucking her thumb and it has been very challenging on my patience.  I feel so guilty sometimes taking it away from her, but I know it has to be done.  She is now done with naps because she can't sleep without it and she gets frustrated very easily.  Hopefully this challenge will end soon and she will return to her happy little self.

This little girl has had a few rough months.  Back in November, Morgan stuck her hand in the treadmill while Ted was exercising.  She always loved to be down in the basement by us playing with her toys and she always stayed by the side.  That night I had told her on our way home from Foster's that daddy was exercising.  She got so excited and said she needed to get her barbies and go play by him.  She did just that when we got home and I continued to make dinner.  All of a sudden I heard a horrible scream and I immediately knew what had happened.  I ran downstairs as fast as I could and was horrified at her little hand.  At first we thought it was bone that we could see, but then we realized that it had been cauterized.  I took her to the instacare and they wrapped it up and sent us home.  We then spent the next month and a half at many doctors appointments, including the burn center at the U of U.  She now has to wear a compression glove 24/7 for the next 6-18 months.  She has been a little trooper and hardly ever complained about her little hand hurting.
