An update...already? Wow!

That's right folks.....I am all over it this morning! Ahhh coffee! Anyway, happily everything is going well. Last Friday we went to Cedar Point thanks to an amazing group called A Kid Again. We had a blast! It was warm but with the breeze off of Lake Erie it made it very nice. This year I got more pictures so this post will be graphic intensive! We opted to not take Taz with us this year and I am glad we didn't. It was 83 and he would have been miserable.

So Lily had so much fun and rode a ton of stuff!

I am glad she loves rides. Mom here is more of a coward and not too keen on rides.

Here is Lily getting her face painted by one of the awesome volunteers from the Kohl's Cares program!

.

She did a great job!! No small task as Lily has a hard time sitting still AND she kept picking up the brushes and asking 1001 questions. This lady was great and so very patient with Lily

The oh so awesome son! Yes, my 13 yr old has a mustache! WTH?!? lol

Pikachu refused to let me be in the picture! Stupid pokemon!

What do you mean it's time to go home?!?





















This was a great time for us to go too. Starting tomorrow I need to make a ton of appointments for Lily. The usual stuff, eye dr, dentist, well-child visit, and then things like Neurology and Genetics. So it was nice being able to hang with the family and other families that understand our kind of "normal'! Thank you A Kid Again!!


Lily is now in summer school and she loves it! Taz and Lily have been riding the bus now. Lily loves the bus but Taz not so much. Taz does not like vehicles (except hay wagons, yes hay wagons! lol). I am worried because technically I should have a week to train him, train the person handling him in a new situation. Unfortunately there is a policy of no parents on the bus. While I understand the new for this policy and quite honestly liked it a great deal, this is causing a training problem. I was able to train the handler for Taz for about an hour. We shall see how it goes, but we may need to come up with something else for training. I may have to call the amazing trainers at 4 Paws and see what they suggest. I have a feeling they are going to tell me I need to be on that bus to train him and I don't believe that is possible. Anyway, we shall see! But I just talked to Lily's teacher and Taz's handler in school and they said he is doing amazing in class! So that's good!


This Saturday we are taking part in the Walk For Wishes Walk-a-thon for Make A Wish! If you look further back in this blog you can see when Lily got her wish from Maek-A-Wish.
