Colson in Space & Miracle League!

Colson in Space & Miracle League! (orig. published 6.9.11)


What a wonderful weekend we just had! We had Opening Day of the Miracle League - Colson's first team sport! We had a little celebration and met his buddy, Jessica who is wonderful, and we met all the other teams. It's going to be a wonderful summer!


Sunday we celebrated Colson's 4th birthday with a space theme. I don't have much to talk about, so I'll share the weekend through photos with you all.

Much love.

Ok. There's a shark on the moon. Colson decided he wanted a shark cake after we visited the aquarium in PA. I told him I had already ordered his cake and it was too late. And he informed me that "Well Mommy, maybe there are sharks on the moon!" - So, I guess there is :-)

Cute little space cupcakes

Orange Alien! Orange is his favorite color!

A model of the planets for his birthday!



Some toy story figures - perfect sized for Colson!



Auntie Nanny got Colson a microscope! He loves science! She even captured a huge bumblebee for him to look at under there!

It's a Miracle (League)!

It's a Miracle (League)  (orig. published 6.11.11) "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." -- Albert Einstein What amazing opportunities children of all abilities have these days. Colson had his first baseball game this last Wednesday, thanks to the community of Appleton, WI, the hearts and minds of The Miracle League of the Fox Valley, the teenagers, young adults and adults that have volunteered their time to support the children as buddys and as coaches, and the amazing children that have the ability to play. We had a blast, Colson was so surprised that he hit the ball (with the help of his buddy assisting Colson in swinging his arms) that he froze in place and didn't know what to do at first! Hah! He was waiting for someone to bring it back to him! Run Colson run we all said! And off to 1st base him and his buddy went. When he made it around all the bases, he ran up to the f

Spontaneous Love

Spontaneous Love (orig. published 2.20.09) You know your child loves you when you receive that first spontaneous sign of love. That first random hug, or that first kiss without asking. Last night, at bedtime, Colson was in my arms and he put his face in my face and stared at me and then started giving me Eskimo kisses and then stared at me some more. Then he politely demanded about 40 “real” kisses from me before I could lay him down, but that’s ok. I had just received my first “unasked” for kisses from my baby. Colson is growing up so fast. Tomorrow he will be 21 months old. He is still 21 pounds. And he is still wearing 9 month clothes. But, mentally, he’s practically a 3 year old (according to his therapists). He knows the letters A, B, D, E, I, M, N, O, P, T, and Y when you show him them on his blocks. He knows how to record his favorite shows, and how to delete them when he’s done. He knows how to turn the satellite on and off for the TV, and he knows how to do the “Hot Dog Dance
