June 26, 2012: Haley Turns Six!!
hi everyone! this is haley. i haven’t been writing so often because i’ve been so busy! first of all, i had the best school year ever! all my friends are fun and nice and we all play. i had 17 other kids in my class and all of them i like. and my teachers are so wonderful, my parents say they walked right out of a fairy tale and into my classroom. i learned so much, and i grew so much, and even though now it’s summer and i’m in camp and at the pool and having so much fun with anna and my friends, i can’t wait for school to start again! speaking of camp, i get to go to a regular camp this year because i’m potty trained (i wasn’t last summer, because of all my tummy problems, but i worked really really really hard and my parents were very patient and anna was the best cheerleader and we did it!). i am do really well with my orthotics– they help my legs grow straight, and help me run and twirl without falling down.

I still go to Jaye, best PT ever, to help me walk straighter and straighter, and Jaye says i’m getting better all the time. I also now to go Hilary, best OT ever. she’s from South Africa and is very bright and bubbly and makes me do lots of very adventurous things in order to help me with my handwriting and letter-forming. she’s so much fun, i love going to OT. the latest news is that i got glasses! they’re purple and pink with butterflies on the sides, and it’s to help me see because i’m farsighted in one eye. i heard that another kid who used to have CAMT also is farsighted in one eye. i wonder if there are more out there. best eye doctor ever Dr. “Vike” has a special chair that only goes up when i press my nose. i like going to him, he’s a lot of fun. plus mommy and i go to cupcakes store nearby. sometimes i’ll eat it sometimes i won’t. speaking of food, i am now eating chicken! well, chicken nuggets, but that’s a new food! and i’m eating almonds. this summer we’re working on yogurt and fruit and veggies. i’m trying though nothing really tastes good to me still.
well i should go now. tomorrow is a very fun-filled day at camp, then grammy and gramps come with a strawberry shortcake and a balloon, grammy’s annual tradition. also, mommy wants me to tell you that she’ll be writing more and more coming soon so you should stay tuned. bye everyone!
































So glad to hear this update, and that everything is going so well. Have the happiest birthday!!!
