Mary Elizabeth our littlest one. She is a beautiful little girl. She has such red hair. She has had it since her first day of breath in this sometimes cruel world. Mary really lives up to the red hair temperment. I never believed before the myth that comes with it. "I do Now". LOL
Mary knows how to keep us all hopping. Since she is the youngest I have yet to make a second page for her. I have lost the page I had for her before so I am now going to start over. I have already spoke of her beautiful red hair. It is hard to think of my Mary Elizabeth without her red hair so bare with me, it is a trait.
Mary Loves the water we have had many people tell us what a great swimmer she is going to make. Water doesn't bother her even no at 20 months. She love it. You can see her dunking her head under the water and such. Although she doesn't like it when she gets a big swallow of water. Not much fun there.
The first thing they of course said when she was born was you have a red headed girl. Fiery red. But then also he told us Dad would have to get his rifle ready. She is bound to be a man's gal. Which Father even has a hard time thinking about. He better be a mighty fine fellow in manners and integrity to pass the Father's test.
She already has the temperment. Just the other day she was telling Mommy lets go. She never would eat her baby foods. She is very independent. She wouldn't sit in a high chair either she had to be sitting with her sisters.
I do have to admit her Mother spoils her like crying. For one she knows how to use the pitiful cry and puppy face. Gets me everytime and she knows it. I try but you know some temptations are harder in life than others. Shame on Mommy. But hey she would melt your heart to.
Well we are still hopping on our toes. And she still is a bigger handful than my twin daughters but I wouldn't trade her for the world. One day I think the temperment will calm down. And Mommy and Baby will be able to do a lot together. I look forward to that day. But I also want to enjoy her while she is young. It will be a joy watching my little Mary Elizabeth grow up. Mary Mommy Loves you with all her heart.

It has been quite some time since I wrote last about Mary. Mary is as
beautiful as ever and very femanine. She loves to dress up pretty. She
is now five years old and still keeps us hopping as ever. We have
found that Mary has some psychological issues (Neurological Lyme is the culprit).She acts much like a person with ADD. She also has been having severe
panic attacks. Many times she refuses to go into a store because the
alarms and intercoms that go of scare her. She hunches on the floor in a
ball and screams. She gets scared real easy. I really feel for her since
my Lyme causes severe panic attacks at times but seldom. Mary has them
a lot. She is also having pain and looks sickly most of the time. She is
a sweet little girl when she is on antibiotics but once she is off the Lyme
flares and she is really mean and can not pay attention ever.
I am home schooling her (and her sisters) because I know they will want
to put her on ritalin or something to that affect. She really only needs
the antibiotics. I am hoping to get her Lyme taken care of before it
effects her physically. I do not want her to have to live a crippled life
much like her mommy leads.
She is bright and is learning to read some words and is loving it. That is
when I can get her to sit still. She just loves the movie Spirit so naturally I had to have Spirit on her page. She is growing more beautiful every day. She is developing some freckles and they are so cute. I am sure they will be gone when she gets older. We have a page called Parents of Children With Lyme and would sure appreciate you visiting the donation page or letting other people know about it. It is helping people like us who can't afford medical treatment. The Doctor is treating us for free but needs some help. Mary is still far from getting rid of this..so those funds would also help us. Thanks so much. Parents of Children with Lyme!
