Helping the Neighbour
One of our neighbours is an independently living 91 year old woman. She loves gardening and loves her outside 1/4 arce section looking tidy.
So she has had this space with some pruned branches lying around for ages. Every day we would see her ourside in the cool of the summers days, cutting herself some firewood.
On this particular day DH was home and thought that he would go and help, take Hayden with him.
This is what helping the neighbour looks like. Just bear in mind that Hayden operates at about a 2 1/2 year old so the mimicing of Dad is just perfect. Notice the gloves and the smile on my two boys faces.
Our neighbour was so greatful that now she will have something to start her little fire with when winter arrives.

Shoes Makeith the Woman
Shoes makeith the woman ......well the girl in this case. As my little, or not so little, girl heads quickly towards an age with double digits I am forced to think about how to help her fit in but to my modest set of rules. Of course with little girls that usually has something to do with how they look.
As McKenzie is tiny in size and that means she fits clothes of little girls two years younger than her. It has not been a problem until a move of school and trying to find new friends forced me to sit back and look at what was being asked of me. Luckily McKenzie is not label conscience and so I am able to fulfill what is needed without spending a small fortune.
So off to my favourite on line shop for little girls and with just a few dollars spent one well loved pair of shoes ready to be worn.

Of course I need to scrapbook this moment so here it is.

Life has it's little surprises.
As my loyal blog readers would know my DS1, Hayden, is disabled. Amoung many of the things that challenge his life, is his ability to socialise and make friends. This does not seem to be an issue to him and we don't necessarily add it to the long list of other things that already are significant challenges.
Anyway this little challenge means that he has no play dates or sleep overs or other invitations like other children. He does not know that this happens for others so not a problem. It was the biggest surprise then, when I get this phone call, out of the blue, from the parent of a child in Haydens special class inviting him to the birthday party of their son. Well you could have knocked me over with a feather. This is a first ever moment in Haydens after life that he has had such an invite. (The after life is opposed the life he had before he suffered his medical event). I am pleased that this mother thinks that Hayden is friendly with her son. Hayden was very excited to see he had got a letter in the post inviting him.
I guess that this will be a moment to remember.
Life is full of unexpected little surprises.
Here is a page I made. It might just explain how Hayden has no social skills.
