Therapy Day

For the last 3 years, Friday's have been known as "therapy day." None of us love it, but we pack our good attitudes, and do what we have to do. Recently, we switched Davis' PT to a homehealth agency, and his therapist works with him at his daycare. We will soon be doing the same with his OT. Last week both kids had regular dentist appointments before D's OT appointment.

Since D turned 3 in April, he was supposed to get x-ray's at this visit. Yeah. That didn't happen. I was fully prepared to distract Anna with my phone, and sit on the boy, but the lady in the picture? That's our sweet neighbor. She refused to force it. Oh well. He got an A+ on his "tooth report card," so I'm not concerned. He will definitely need braces, but in the meantime, the dentist said his teeth look great.

D made this for me. The OT said that she picked out the "v" and "w," but that he did the rest. He told her it had to be made with pink and purple because those are my favorites. Sweet boy!

Rainy Day Fun

Last week it rained for 4 days. All day, all night...for 4 days! I loved it, but speech therapists don't exactly get the day off when it rains. Darn. But a golf course superintendent? What can he do in the rain?! Play with his babies!! :)

They played in the rain...

Yes. His face was in the water. He *may* have been trying to drink it. Sheesh.

Had microwave smores...

And watched Mickey Mouse on bikes...

Sounds good to me!

Peach Festival

Five years ago, we happened to be in Weatherford "house hunting" on the day of the annual peach festival. We were told it was a BIG deal. We wanted to go at least once. Fast forward 5 years, and we finally went! It.was.so.hot. So.very.hot. The heat MAY have played a pretty big role in our backing out in previous years. It was fun though. I do not like peaches. I don't like the flavor or the smell...but my people do! Nana and Grandpa also came to have some fun with us.

The night before, we had a little water gun fun with Grandpa...

The morning of... 

Smiles were hard to come by with this one. She couldn't understand why we were up and going so early on a Saturday.

(Please excuse the water on his shirt.)

That would definitely be a dead gecko...

...that D could have played with all day. 

At first I was bummed that this was blurry. Then I realized it was blurry because my sweet boy was JUMPING in a bounce house! Take THAT Spina Bifida!

Daddy's hat.

Grandpa's hat.

After a couple of hours, Anna was over it. So we left.

He did it...

...and so did she! Neither on purpose.

I happen to love this picture.

They have an actual pool next door. These boys had so much fun in this little one though!

She looks WAY too big in this one. *sigh*

Superman

My sweet boy. My very own superhero.  

I'm not sure who the following quote came from but..."Sometimes, real superheros live in the hearts of small children fighting big battles." So.Very.True.

My boy may have spina bifida, but it certainly does not have him. His little life is not easy. He will always have challenges, but his life is full, and he is amazing!

The Spina Bifida Association of North Texas is such a wonderful organization. Their mission is to promote awareness and education. They will always be a part of our lives, especially Davis'. The annual Walk-N-Roll is coming up. Please consider making a donation in Davis' name. (The money does not go directly to him, but to the organization in his name.) No amount is too small! Just go to the website below, and follow the "clicks." (If I could figure out how to get the "link" on here, I would. Sorry about that!)
