Happy Birthday to our dear Francesca! She's turned 8. She's in 2nd grade & her passion in life at 8 is horse back riding and her goal for this next year is to compete in races at the Carver County State Fair. She is a very conscientious gal, and when she sets her mind to something, it gets done. She does not back down & I admire so admire this. She's a great student, and this year she started brownies. If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she'll tell you she wants to be a country singer & she wants to own a farm so she can raise horses and dogs. Sounds like a good life to me!
We did just find out that our little lady has to have her adnoids taken out in 2 weeks. I wanted to get them checked, because she breathes through her mouth when she sleeps & she's been congested for nearly 3 months. So my suspicions were correct & she needs them taken out. Her dr. said she almost exclusively breathes through her mouth, because her adnoids are so enlarged; they are blocking her nasal passages. She's very petite & a very picky eater, so I'm hoping when the adnoids come out, she'll become a better eater & sleeper. Other than that, 8 is starting out great!
