My world is full of miracles..one day at a time.

Meeting my first Angel Friends

You know,just when we think life is good enough it seems to just get even better. My grandma (who I now call na-na-na)met some wonderful families of angels like me a couple months ago. Yep! I am not alone in Ohio. There are more angels than we knew about.

Anyway, we were invited to a picnic where I met other angels like "me" for the first time face to face. How cool is that? Well my na-na-na will tell you it was the greatest night of her life. When we met we all knew we were similar and connected instantly. Hugging and oh yes, a few sloppy kisses passed amongst us. It was way too cool to describe. I met Mitch, Caleb & Jordan and we all played in the sandbox together until the rain came. Then off to eat and play inside due to the rain.

What an awesome time was had by all. The grown ups got to talk and my daddy finally saw he is not alone in raising me. He actually has other parents now to turn to and talk to when ever he is challenged by the many changes yet to come for me.

Grandma was pretty busy with being around my new angel friends so she did not do much in the way of capturing lots of pictures. Anyone that knows her knows that IS NOT the norm for her. But meeting other angels took her breath away and she simply was more in tune to enjoying them then snapping shots for later. And its okay. Leslie, Mitch's mom is going to share some she took with us soon. :-)

Make sure you pay attention to me riding the horse imatator! Jordan's mom Jan is the lovely woman assisting me. Do I look like a pro or what? I am not sure which one of us was laughing harder, Jan or me????

I am doing lots of new things. Vocalizing more, expressing my wants more vividly and enjoying the summer break from school. I will be going to summer classes in July. We are focusing on my ability to interact more with other children rather than play alone such as I do. My family is already working on this with me so all should great in summer classes.

I love playing outside and ask often to go out there. But as we all know I have to pick and choose the times that the heat is not too high because of my intolerance to it. I never seem to drink enough fluids on my own to stay hydrated so this creates problems for me. But again. we are working on this too. Na-na-na is teaching me to like water! Never been one of my favorite things to drink but it sure does hydrate my body much faster than juices and milk. And when I appear really over-heated she lets me play with frozen vegetable bags out of daddy's freezer. LOL Hey, she told daddy whatever cools my body temperature down and works she is using and playing with bags of frozen veggies does help a lot.

I will be spending the day with my daddy for Father's Day and we are celebrating it with his some of his friends. A picnic, swimming and lot of love and laughter to be had for all. And guess what? I loved the swimming pool. Go figure!!!!

Grandma wanted everyone to know how well I am doing at taking directions from everyone. I seem to listen far more and actually do things asked of me. Still getting put in time out for pushing, hitting and messing with daddy's TV. But hey, no kid is perfect now and that is okay with me. I am an adventurer and they all know this well. :-) So I now have a red chair just for time-outs. LOL And did you know the whining and shedding a couple of tears does not get you out any sooner? I tried them all and I still had to do my time! Ugh!

I guess what it all boils down to is I am going to have to learn what I can and cannot do or pay the consequences and be placed to sit if I do not. So....trust me I am not a sitter but a go getter.....So I am working hard on behaving and knowing what I am permitted to touch as well as what I am NOT.

Until the next time love to all.
