Well we are getting ready for a big week :) Our Canadian Angel friends are coming to Bama to stay with us for a week and Friday we head to Florida for a big party with eight other Angel families. There are so many parts that I don't like of Angelman Syndrome but I will never regret the huge extended family that we now have because of it. We have an occasional bad day, but who doesn't? Our lives are rich and filled with so much love. Had we not experienced Angelman Syndrome, I'm not sure that we would have truly learned what a blessing each day and just how lucky we really are. We don't need or want pity. All that we want is for our sweet boy to be loved and accepted for who he is...we have this :) A few weeks we spoke with the manager here at our local Winn-Dixie. We asked if they might be interested in getting a special needs shopping cart, called Caroline's cart. Within weeks I got word that the cart was at the store! We went in a few days ago and tried it out, it was amazing. No more pushing a stroller with a 50lb boy in it, while shopping, and pulling a cart behind me all at the same time. Brady does walk but he gets tired after shopping for a while, not to mention he fully enjoys emptying the shelves as we pass by them, lol. This cart will help us tremendously and even more so for those people who have kids with special needs that can't walk at all. So a big shout out to our Winn-Dixie for looking out for our families here in Covington. Anyway, I'm off of here for now. Have lots more to do before our company arrives. Pictures coming soon! |
