Last year Kale was a pea pod, and this year Kale was a turtle. Both years we didnt trick or treat, I dont think it is age appropiate yet, and even if it is, he cant walk nor would he be interested in cany with his oral adversion. However both years we spent with friends and family, and that is what matters most. Of course providing Kale with as "normal" of an upbringing as possible is my goal, but being realistic is who I am.
I will never expect Kale to go running up driveways, and can only hope he will say trick or treat one day, but I will take him door to door in his lil chair, and if he wanted to walk using a walker I would bring it too so he can walk up to the door! I will say trick or treat for him if he cannot, and I will smile at knowing that he looks so darn handsome!!! Life is different for us special moms, I will find my way. The time between crying will grow to be very long, and I will learn to adapt and change the activities but never disclude him. It has taken me a while to come to this type of peace in my life, I have always known it would come, I just fought it all the way along because I was so devestated.
This posting is a thank you to everyone who has stuck through it with me, through my moods. Thank you for Kale! This posting is so people know life sucks sometimes, and its okay to cry. But no one feel bad for us. We are like all of you, we are just taking a path not known, its scary!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
