I PRAY YOU ENOUGH

I pray you enough to sustain you. I pray you enough sun to keep you attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear. I pray you enough rain to appriciate the sun even more. I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting. I pray you enough pain so that even the sallest of joys in life may appear bigger. I pray you enough gain to satisfy you wanting. I pray you enough loss to appriciate all that you possess. I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appriciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them. TAKE TIME TO LIVE.

iI PRAY YOU ENOUGH

One day they are going to kick us out:)

As we sit in the parents house, finally enjoying their air conditioner, I can't help but sit here and recall the the past few weeks. And of course compare this summer to last summer. OK, lets start with last summer. We tested for allergies and seizures. He screamed, kicked, bit, and everything else imaginable... needless to say it was bad. This year he is manic, but manic happy! That is good! Destroys everything in sight and loves to flood the bathrooms, but happy! OK lets see if I can explain manic.... it when you get completely over excited and can't control how much you bounce and get wild about something...frenzied, excessive excitement or enthusiasm. All in all, yes thankful for a better summer so far this year! BUT, I am definitely ready for school to start, cooler weather to be here, and most of all a consistent schedule!

OUR PARK

DILLYSPLACE PLAYGROUND WILL BE A PLACE FOR CHILDREN, INCLUDING THOSE CONFRONTING THE CHALLENGES OF A DISABILITY CAN PLAY TOGETHER AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER. THE GOAL OF THE DESIGN IS TO CREATE A PLAY AREA FOR CHILDREN OF ALL ABILITIES THAT ALLOW FOR PHYSICAL AS WELL AS MENTAL DEVELOPEMENT THROUGH A DIVERSITY OF PLAY EXPERIENCES, AND IS ALSO A GATHERING PLACE FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. WHAT BETTER WAY TO TEACH. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE COMPASSION THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED.

STAND UP BE SEEN, SPEAK UP TO BE HEARD

NEVER LET PRIDE BE YOUR GUIDING PRINCIPAL. LET YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. DID YOU KNOW THE THREE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS TO SAY ARE: I LOVE YOU, SORRY AND HELP ME. DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU HELP SOMEONE, THE HELP IS RETURNED TWO-FOLD? DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE, LIKE DILLYSPLACE, IF YOU ASK FOR IT BY FAITH AND IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE, YOU'D BE SURPRISED BY WHAT YOU CAN DO.. ALSO WITH ALOT OF HARD WORK. DYLAN'S MOTHER CRYSTAL IS MY HERO. SHE IS A SINGLE MOTHER, 80% OF MARRIED COULPLE WITH A DISABLED CHILD GET DIVORCED. CRYSTAL HAS NO HELP AT ALL EXCEPT FOR CHLOE, HER DAD AND I. PLEASE KEEP MY HERO IN YOUR PRAYERS. SHE DESERVES EVERYTHING GOOD THAT COMES HER WAY. APPRICIATE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TODAY. LIVE FOR TODAY, DON'T WORY ABOUT YESTERDAY OR TOMORROW. GOD IS GOOD.

THINGS ARE GOING GREAT

DYLAN IS DOING GREAT SINCE SUMMER SCHOOL HAS STARTED. HE SEEMS HAPPY BUT VERY BUSY. LOOKS LIKE HE WAS DIGGING TO CHINA IN OUR YARD. NEDD TO REDIRECT HIM. GRANDPA TOOK HIM ON THE LAWNMOWER FOR A RDE YESTERDAY. HE LKOVES THAT. I CAN'T HARDLY REACH THE PEDALS WHEN HE SITS ON MY LAP.

Dilly and grandma

Marks over at Crystal's helping her. Dylan is watching jungle book and eating. the good days are worth any bad days.... To have that sweet face smiling at me. To have Dylan laugh ,whistle and take my hand. We had a nice drive. Grandma's ready for a nap but thats ok.. These are the great days. Thank you God.

out of sorts

dylan was a little out of sorts today. crystal said last night he didn't go to bed until 11:30 up around 7:45. she was tire too. we wnt to the playground at sedj co. park dylan had fun i think he go hot tired thirsty or hungry. it's hard to tell since he can't tell us what he wants. he got mad when crystal went in the store. he jumped in the back seat and started pinching me and slapped chloe. when need to get rid of his aggressive behavior. hopefully it won't be like last summer. say a prayer for crystal and chloe and dylan...

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH AND YOUR CHILD THREW YOUR CAR IN REVERSE?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR CHILD GOT OUT OF THEIR SEAT BELT WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING AND WAS MOVING AROUND IN THE CAR?
WHAT IF YOUR CHILD ROAD ON THE BUS WITH OTHER CHILDREN WOULDN'T YOU WANT _EVERYONE TO BE SAFE?
WHAT IF YOU GOT YOUR KID ON THE BUS, JUMPED IN THE SHOWER, HEARD THE BUSES HORN. HAD TO GET OUT OF THE SHOWER, WRAP YOURSELF IN A TOWEL AND RUN OUT AND GET YOUR CHILD OFF THE BUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER SAID IT WASN'T SAFE FOR ANYONE.
WOULD YOU WANT A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL TO HELP THE BUS DRIVER AND THE OTHER OCCUPANTS TO STAY SAFE.?
WHAT IF YOU HAD AN INDIVIDUALE EDUCATION PLAN(IEP) THAT REQUIRES A BUS PARA WITH YOUR CHILD BUT THE LAWS OF THE IEP WERE NOT BEING FOLLOWED? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? THESE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CRYSTAL HAS DEALT WITH OR IS DEALING WITH.
