Annika turned 8 and the world of technology

Annika turned 8 on Saturday!!! So hard to believe that my little girl is that old already!!! On her birthday, we had to attend section individual wrestling tournament for her brother, Dan. She was so happy when she woke up that morning when she found out we were going to see wrestling. Not so happy later on when she found out that we were not going to have cake that day. She was a trooper and when her brother took 4th place in his weight class, she walked around saying, "Dan did a good job, we are proud of him right Mom?" Yes, Annika you are right we are proud of him.
On Sunday we did have cake and ice cream with just the immediate family so Annika officially moved her birthday this year. Her birthday was Sunday as far as she is concerned. And for now that is fine. We will have the "big" family/friend party this Sunday. She doesn't know about that yet so it will be a surprise.
Annika is in dance this year and they did ballet for the first half of the year and now they have moved on to tap. The last few weeks Annika has come home from dance class just totally not herself. She loves dance and we know that but she was just crabby and irritable. Last night we were able to find out what her issue is. She says that dance class is "too loud" now with the tap shoes. Believe me I have heard the noise through the door and I know exactly what she is talking about. That being said it just amazes me in the world we are living in. I have a child who is technically deaf but she is complaining because dance class is "too loud". How is that possible!?!?! Only through the world of technology.
