We have had a pretty busy and pretty fun few days in the Shay household. On that same note, my parents (at times) wonder why on earth they even had kids when all 3 of us are whining and crying (and sometimes yelling) at the same time - but I know when they see us smiling and enjoying ourselves they are reminded how awesome of a privilege and blessing we are! We started our crazy busy fun with Sesame Street Live on Wednesday night - Maggie likes to call it Sesame Street Alive - she's pretty cute sometimes. Me and Maggie had a great time watching and laughing and movin' and groovin'.... Molly on the other hand, all she wanted to do was walk around and try to find stairs to crawl up (and eat popcorn off the floor). She sure keeps things interesting.
Friday night, my school had a Family Fun Night. It was more like a Crazy Family Night - it was loud and busy and there was a lot going on. But we ran into some friends from my class who are also Maggie's friends from Bonnie's Daycare. We had fun dancing and hanging out, and we also ran into my teacher. She made my mom cry, she shared a letter one of my classmates wrote to my helper at school (as it was Paraprofessional Appreciation Day or something). It was a letter that read "Thank You for Helpen conner. you are nice to hime. I wish I cud be Hime" (pause for tear).
This is where my mom says yay for inclusion!
Sunday fun day, we all went to the ski hill in La Crosse. I got to do my adapted skiing today. It was sad not getting to do it with my pal Katelyn this year (she is out in Colorado doing adaptive skiing on the big hills), but I still had a good time. My parents decided to let Maggie in on the fun this time and signed her up for some lessons. So she was busy while I was busy. Now if only my parents had something for Molly to do. She had fun watching me for a little while, but then got a lil upset, or tired, or hungry, or it could have been the fact that she was in the process of a blow out - whatever it was, she was not happy the last half hour of my ski day. She did get to ride in a sled and stand on one of the instructors skis for a short (and slow moving) ride. But we all did survived the cold and all had a good time! I of course got fussy when I stopped moving, but as long as my helpers kept me moving and even sang a few songs for me - I was a happy dude. Maggie did great with her lesson too- she said her favorite part was the rope that took her up the hill really fast but she was bummed she didn't get to ride the ski lift like I got to.
Back to the grind tomorrow, or at least that is what my dad says, I think that means we have to wake up early tomorrow, but I could be wrong. I do know Maggie is excited to go to school and show off her "new style" as she puts it. I also got my hair cut this weekend - but it definitely isn't a new style, it's my usual buzz cut (my mom is always sad to see my hair go too - I think if it was up to her we all would be crazy shaggy). Oh well, another weekend bites the dust. G'night!
