Father's Day 2009
I am Mama & Papa to my Josef, so I will definitely be celebrating on Sunday. My little man has some outstanding male influences in his life and we will be sure to thank them on Sunday. Josef has a wonderful Grandpa, an uncle who loves him like his own. How lucky he is.

Good Morgan
Every morning I wake my little man up with our Good Morning song.....it goes like this, "Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning to Josef" Very original, I know, but he loves it. It has been our ritual since the day he was born. He usually springs out of bed and says, "Hiya". Today my Josef said, "Good Morgan Mama". Oh how my heart melted. I love my Josef. He is on the cusp of some serious language skills here. I am super exicted to hear what he has to say next.

2 Pair of Shoes
Ok, well ECI went very well, not sure why I never contacted them before, I am optimistic about their services for Josef.
On the other hand, Josef got his new AFO yesterday. I anticipated having to buy new shoes as I knew it would be bigger to allow for growth of his foot. Went to 4 different stores and no luck. I could nto find a shoe big enough to fit that was also somewhat decent looking. I ended up at Shoe Carnival. By this time, I was exhausted, the sales girl was extremely helpful. She tried at least 10 different shoes on the brace and we finally found a Nike size 8 wide that fit the brace. Josef wears a size 6.5, so I had to buy two pair of shoes. That is ok, I was prepared for the possibility, but I was not prepared for the reality of my little Josef with two obviously different sized shoes. I almost lost it in the store and on the way home, and it still wears on my heart. I love him, and accept him, and don't thinkk of him as different, but he does look different now with one giant shoe. Maybe it sounds silly, but it hurts me. I need to get over it. He is fine, he knows no difference. He keeps on going.

ECI
Okay, well it has been a long time since the first post and I am on my way out in about 1/2 hour to meet a friend for a birthday celebration, but let me get this anxiety off my chest first. Josef and I have a meeting with ECI on Monday to do an eval for home occupational therapy. We were at a private therapy office, but he was released as he was developmentally where he was supposed to be and is now on a waiting list. I hate waiting....so I called ECI...we need to learn to pull pants up and down for potty training. Josef needs help, he is so quick to get frustrated as I am...so we need help. Hope all goes well......I pray all goes well.
