This morning as I sent Taylor to the school bus to go to school I started thinking about how grateful I am that all three of my kiddos have very kind and accomodating bus drivers this year. They will always wait a few extra minutes for them if they are running late, help them on the bus, and show genuine interest in them. In the past, this has not been the case. Let me just tell you, that having an impatient Bus Driver who could care less…could really make a single Mom’s life much more difficult than it has to be… This got me thinking….. How often do we overlook the importance of a Bus Driver?

The question of the day for you is…when is it time to let go?

When do I know to give Taylor or Erin or even Jorden more independence? Now of course this question is coming from a woman who has 2 out of 3 of her children who have always needed more supervision and more assistance in their lives. I have never raised a normal, healthy child…therefore; circumstances are much different for my children then they are the average child. I don’t know what it is like when raising the average child. When do you even let go in that case?

Today started at 8am…when I jumped out of my bed to realize that I overslept. I ran out of bed to meet The Physical Therapist at the door. She came over to work with the girls. She works with them by stretching their legs and having them do various exercises to strengthem their muscles. Erin was up first, and did awesome! Erin is always so compliant and usually follows all directions when given by others. Then it was Taylor’s turn. I should just end it there with a period and you should get some type of idea how Taylor did.

Cerebral palsy or no cerebral palsy! Us Littles are competitive!!! I knew I was competitive…but I didn’t realize how much I had passed it on to my children. When we were in Utah over the weekend, my family and I (& Jase) played a few games of air hockey with the family who runs the place where we stayed called The Summit Chateau Lodge in Brian Head, Utah. I was able to capture the moment on video and thought you would enjoy. I’m sure you will enjoy a few laughs while you are at it….
