Happy Birthday My BOY

Goofys Kitchen September 2010

Well lots of time has gone by since my last posting. I am not sure if I have been overwhelmed, busy or unable to managed time or all of the afore mentioned.

I have so much inside that I want to write about but I seem to watch the days go by and just cannot find a way to devote enough time to writing. 

Well this past month we took a special day just to go see the new "World of Color" @ California Adventure , then a couple days later we were able to be a part of a taping for Big Brother--one of Dakotas favorite reality shows -- Labor Day week end came and then we were off to Disneyland for 5 days.

Almost a quarter of a century ago I gave birth to a baby that was not expected to live. The doctors had him in the hospital for 3 weeks after he was delivered and the prognosis was not positive-- They did not expect him to live---

He is truly a miracle and considering what we went through we are fortunate that he is as functional as he is. I would not trade him for all the money in the world and I love him with all my heart.He has been a learning experience for me and has taught me many valuable lessons. I grieve that he will not have all lifes experiences a typical kid would have YET I continue to be relentless in pursuit of giving him as much normalcy as he can tolerate.  

Dakotas birthday trip was a sucess in my book . You always wish a few thiings would have been different but anytime you see happiness and smiles with appropriate behavior and controll of situations that would have once wreaked havoc IT goes in the WIN column!

We were able to have a group party at Goofys Kitchen with a few of his friends, a couple of his teachers and some family-- WE had a great time! 2 of the boys were able to spend the night and then all of us would go to the parks the next day. Again a sucess-- When it came time for the boys to leave was the only low point of the day. Over the couse of 5 days there were only 2 "infractions " that are worth acknowledging and actually one was when we were leaving so I cant blame him for the feelings of transition and sadness for leaving!

All in all a great time and lots of fun

Happy Birthday to My BOY

I hope we have may many many more to celebrate .

I Love you bigger than the sky
