Well, me and the boys went to our first family reunion today, since Brady started walking. I have to say it was a very interesting, exhausting experience! Their dad decided not to attend, claiming to have some other things he needed to take care of, typical guy thing,lol. Anyways Brady done really well, I was shocked. He did have to give hugs to everyone there, of course he didn't know any of the people he was hugging,lol. I think he must have sat on 50 different laps today, more than once each,lol. He made lots of new friends, and they were all so exciting to see him walking, since he wasn't walking last year when we attended. Everyone there totally fell in love with him. It was so funny to see the men reacting to him, its typical to see a woman hug him and talk to him, but its another thing to see a big strong man. Brady didn't care if it was male or female, he had to try out every lap. Of course I spent the entire time running around, protecting drinks, worrying he would pull hair, jewelry or break something, but we escaped without incident. He never once pulled anyones hair, or even attempted to. He did pinch or do anything else aggressive. He just sat in everyones laps, and gave big hugs like a big boy. While I was fixing his plate of food, he sat in a metal chair, not once offering to get up, he was so patient! He sat in the chair and ate, and sat there while I ate my food. When I went back to get a desert plate, he again sat in the chair and patiently waited! He really was such a big boy today, I couldn't be a prouder mommy tonight!!! I know that he is learning all these things at school, he would never have done all this a couple months ago! I just cant wait to tell him teachers how well he done.
Anyways just thought I would share our day with you guys. Gotta get some sleep, Brady went to sleep about 10:30 tonight, whooo hoooo!!!

About Brady

Read Brady's Story Here   

I am 11yrs old and I have Angelman Syndrome. I may have this syndrome, but I dont let it hold me back. I love life and live it to the fullest every single day. My mom says that our research organization, Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics, is working really hard on a treatment or even a cure for me and my friends. I am thankful to have 25 words but I look forward to the day that I can carry on long conversations and talk so much that everybody has to ask me to please be quiet for a few minutes :) Anyway, mom says Im awesome and super funny and I have to agree,lol.
