Hannah Banana



Holy Cuteness Batman! Yes this is my beautiful Hannah! Love her to death! She is in the first grade this year and has an absolutely amazing teacher!!! If we were Catholic she would so become a saint! She is really trying so hard to work with Hannah to make her first grade experience a great one but it hasn't been easy. Hannah was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD last year around this time. We have tried several medications and behavioral modification methods but it's a huge process and unfortunately working full time doesn't allow me the time Hannah really needs devoted to her. But, she's a trooper and is really working so hard to get things under control.

Hannah is a very very sweet girl and tries to make sure everyone in the family feels loved and has their needs met. When I'm having a tough day Hannah is the first one to come give me a much needed hug and pat on the back and the reassurance that everything is going to be o.k. (really who is the mom here?). Hannah also loves to dance and sing. Although I'm not particularly fond of the song she's been making up lately, which mostly consists of "I love you baby" and is sung with the classic pop start inflections. Then there is the hip/ booty shaking that a hula dancer would envy! Can't wait to get her in some dance classes and see how well she does!
