Prestyn Turns Three

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: 3rd birthday, prestyn

Our baby boy is three years old today! Yes, he will always be my baby boy, since he was our last boy. I wish he could stay little forever, but it is fun watching him learn. He is such a loving little boy and has the best manners. His preschool teachers said they want a whole class like him. Right now he is obsessed with monster trucks so we are having a monster truck birthday party. This is his golden birthday since he is turning 3 on the 3rd. Do you do anything special for golden ...

The weather was perfect.  We went to the local inclusive playgrounds. Halloween was the best this year. We made a Jurassic Park Jeep for Carsyn's wheelchair to go with the rest of the kids dinosaur costumes.  What I take 99% of my photos with.

Dinosaurs and Jurassic Park Jeep Wheelchair Costume | Halloween 2018

Filed Under: Halloween, Holidays, Special Needs Tagged With: Costumes, Wheelchair Costume

For Halloween this year we actually did themed costumes for our kids and I loved it so much. Prestyn picked out his skeleton pterodactyl costume months ago. Dustyn finally decided he wanted to be the Inflatable T-Rex. So we decided to make Carsyn a Jurassic Park Jeep wheelchair costume. I couldn't leave Annie out, so I bought her this pink Dinosaur costume. It all turned out so cute but it was very difficult to get a photo of them all together! I think I took about 200 pictures. HA! The ... Read More about Dinosaurs and Jurassic Park Jeep Wheelchair Costume | Halloween 2018

Importance of Inclusive Playgrounds

Filed Under: Special Needs

Having a child with different needs can be a bit lonely. Especially when they can't play or do things that other children can do. Take the playground for example, I used to dread going because Carsyn was too big for the baby swings but couldn't hold on to a regular swing. So most of the time we would just skip going all together. I felt bad if I took Dustyn to the playground and Carsyn just had to hang out in his wheelchair. That is why I want to talk about the importance of inclusive ... Read More about Importance of Inclusive Playgrounds
