Hi, Mom. How are you? It’s been a few weeks since I reached out, so I thought it was time. There isn’t a lot to report. I guess our most recent event is that Ramsey had to have an MRI to prep for her upcoming radiation treatment. She did great! No fussing, and she even got to smell yummy strawberry as she drifted off to sleep before the scan.
I don’t know if I’ve told you about Cliff’s condition worsening. He can still get around, but we are resigned to the fact that it’s easier for him to use a wheelchair if there is to be a lot of walking. He’s been doing fine with the transition, and he realizes there’s nothing to prove by stressing his body when it’s not necessary.
Couple of sweet Ramsey stories. First, she’s been initiating putting her dishes in the sink after dinner. I know that shouldn’t be a surprise at her age, but considering that she started doing it on her own without my harping at her about it, I’m quite proud. The other nice addition to her routine is that she’s really embraced bedtime. Daniel Tiger and other PBS shows has really helped her get better with these routines. She even reads me a story at night!
We’ve also been able to have a few sleepovers in the new camper. Ramsey seems to really like it, and it’s actually a pretty cozy little place.
The final update is our latest project. We made a toy zoo for Ramsey. It holds quite a lot of toys, and I even uploaded an assembly video to YouTube and TikTok (yes, I’ve become that person). Cliff is really proud of it. He drew up the plans and made the vision come to life.
I guess that’s it for now. I’ve been starting some planning for a family Thanksgiving, so hopefully some good pictures are to come from that soon. Otherwise, I’ll leave you with this picture of the goofus Danders. I love you, Mom.
Hey, Mom! How are you?
