Pee Pee on the Potty

We are so proud of Boogie! We started trying to toilet him a few months ago...even though he doesn't have a good or consistent way to tell us he has to go. I figured it was worth a shot, trying. He surprised us! He has been pretty successful at home. We put him on a few times a day and sometimes he goes! He started school a few weeks ago in a new classroom. His new teacher got a potty seat that she thought would work for him. He went Pee Pee on the Potty today at school! He is so proud of himself!!! We are so freakin' proud of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He still lacks a good way to communicate that he HAS to go--but he is sure trying to make himself go when we put him on the potty. Also, today, he wanted yogurt and grain bars for dinner (turned down ravioli and beef with peppers-he made a 'yuk face') and was sooo happy he got what he wanted! His teeth were bugging him and he wanted something sweet and easy for dinner today. I am so proud of him...

MDA telethon

Drew and I walked with some friends this past May for tha Stride and Ride, and fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. We walked on our friend Marisa's team, she has MD. We raised almost $1000 and reached our goal of sending a kid to camp. It was a blast, and our team 'Marissa's Musicmakers' are looking forward to the next walk...this time it will be in January at Ford Field in Detroit.

The MDA called Lisa (Marissa's mom) and told her that they wanted her to present the check at the Telethon to the MDA! It was a great honor and Lisa wanted us to join her. Drew and I went to the local channel 20 studios to present the check with Lisa & Marissa. Drew was fine until we had to go into the actual studio and wait our turn to go on the air. He was crabbing so much, we wound up waiting outside the studio room, but we got to see Lisa on TV! She did a great job! It was very nice that she included us...and we were happy to be there. We will be walking again in January...I will hit you all up for donations in a few months. It is a great cause...although Drew has Cerebral Palsy and not MD, we are all a united family and will help out any cause we believe in!! Thanks everyone for your continued support of the blog and my attempts at fundraising!
