Would You Say Something.... (Part 1)

Let's say that you are shopping in a major retail store. And you have a question about something. Say the sales person who was helping you said something was "retarded" and did not mean it in the medical terminology.

Do you, as a parent to a special needs child, say something?

The Whys of Having a Toddler

Why must the contents of my purse be emptied and placed on the floor on a daily basis?

Why must the toddler decide the middle of dinner is the best time to have a massive diaper blowout?

Why does the toddler think pants are not necessary and the diaper is sufficient enough for butt scooting on carpeting?

Why must the toddler throw everything located on the end tables into the trash can?

Why does the toddler think kicking the wall is the best way to inform Mommy that he is awake from his nap?

Speaking of naps... why does the toddler think that directly after taking a 2 hour nap, he must lay in the floor and alternate between whining and laughing for an hour?

Why does the toddler automatically think that just because you used one of his toys as a step stool, he must follow suit?

Why must the toddler wake up before the sun the entire week, then the last day of school, I have to drag him out of bed?

Why does the toddler think that just because he has a gait trainer, that is permission to walk around a busy parking lot?

A Wish Granted

Aiden's Make-A-Wish install has been completed. He was so happy to see the play set, once he realized what it was. He even "supervised" during construction making sure all the parts worked to his specifications.

Construction Begins

The Make-A-Wish Grant Day is here! The construction crew called shortly after 9am to get directions to the house.

They arrived about 15 minutes ago.
