A new Car

When I came across this car bed at a local consignment shop I could not resist getting it for the girls. They have been playing "car" for about 2 months now by all climbing into one bed and pretending to go on trips. I believe they have been to Target, Meijer, the mall to play and to Cinderella's castle in Florida many times! They are quite the travelers. So, this is suppossed to be a toddler bed but we have yet to put a matress in it. They all love to play in it but than when they are ready to go to sleep, they go to their own beds. Occasionally one of them will decide to sleep in it but we haven't had a lot of fighting over it, believe it or not! It is so fun watching them play together and use their imaginations. Oh the places they will go in their lifetimes!!!

Keyan goes to School!

I will do my best to write this post without all of the emotions that are involved for me although when the poor Schwans man asked me why I was dressed so early this morning, I started bawling. Needless to say, it has been a very draining day. Keyan started her special education preschool this morning. She has tried to start two other days but the first day she was under the weather and the second day, it was so foggy that morning classes were cancelled. So, the third time was a charm and she made it. Keyan will be going five days a week for three hours a day. She has a nurse that attend with her, and believe it or not, Keyan rides the bus to school!!! You have never seen anything like a little three year old getting on a big bus! She had a good first day and whenever anyone asks her about school, she says, "I ride the bus and eat cookies!!!" So, pray for her health and saftey, pray for her little brain neurons to form all of those new pathways, and pray for Mommy to survive this whole unnatural ordeal.


Keyan's new backpack! She is the only one that got one and the other girls can't figure out why but she is very excited to have something all her own that is not medical equipment!
Daddy left for work late so that he could see her off onto the bus. Shortly after we handed her off to the nurse she started bawling...so did Mommy...but by the time she got to school, she was happily singing The wheels on the bus... Keyan, we love you and are so proud of your love for life. Keep beating all the odds!!!
