Natalie's Tests

Natalie has been having tummy aches since March so we had to go get some pictures taken of her tummy. We went to Banner Desert, where they gave her an IV and had her drink some contrast so they could see her digestive tract. Fun stuff! She did get this cool Hannah Montana picture board for being so brave for them so she was happy. BTW, I highly recommend the hospital for kids. They did an AWESOME job talking to Natalie, getting the IV in on the first time, and generally making her experience a pleasant one.
Because she was so brave she and I did a little girls' day out after she was done. First we went to Streamer's for lunch. Natalie got a Brownie Mouse for dessert.

After that we went shopping at Target where we got her some Hannah Montana cups with straws. When we left Target we got pedicures. Natalie got her toes painted purple to match her Hannah Montana shirt (sensing a theme here?) and then little flowers on her big toes. I was not allowed to get flowers on my toes because she said we weren't allowed to match so I got polka dots instead.

When we were done with that we went next door to Bashas' where she got to tell Janice, the lady in the Kids Kare area, all about her day. When we left, one of the local radio stations was doing giveaways and Natalie won a brush and Frisbee. They also took her picture and are supposed to have it up on their picture page sometime. I'll post a link if they ever actually post it to their website.
She was ready to go out again that night for a girls' night out, and was disappointed when I wouldn't go. So we have another date scheduled for next month. She's already planning it!
