Happy New Year's. Wow, where does the time go?? How exciting to be entering into a new year and a new decade. Josie and I were talking before bed about what we hope for the new year. Josie's comment was to keep walking. I love that we have gotten to the "keep" walking instead of always the "learn" to walk mode. As I look forward to all the adventures planned so far, I hope that the walking keeps evolving in her life. We will take each day at a time and be thankful for that day and what brings to us.
As for right now, we are still in the desert. We had an incredibly relaxing and fun day. Josie slept in and then spent the morning swimming. We went fishing at the lake on the golf course by the house. Josie and Grandpa had their fishing poles and Jim was sailing his boat. It was so warm Josie went in her bathing suit. After that we had an arousing game of crochet with some of the neighbors. Back for moon sand play and an early dinner. Jim and Joellen had to leave after dinner. We watched a movie and then off to bed. It is going to be challenging to get her to school on Monday. We have had the luxury of sleeping in and not waking to an alarm clock for so long that it will be a shock to both our systems Monday morning. Josie is so excited though to return to school and be with her friends.
As for school, I will be accompanying her for awhile until they can figure out another aid. The one that was chosen and that I spent all the time training decided on Thursday afternoon(the day before Christmas break) that she didn't think she could lift Josie. Seeing that that is 80% of the job it appears to be a problem. It would have been really nice if she could have informed us the first day or two instead of wasting all of our time to train her and putting Josie through the bonding process. At least she told us and we can move forward. Josie's safety is my biggest concern and I will find someone that can do this job and well. Enough of that.
My best to you all as be start out this year. I hope it is wonderful for everyone. Cheers, Jenny and Josie
