Since my last post!

I will have to admit I want to write more, but finding the time along with not having Nash crawl all over me and clean out my desk drawers while I am at the computer is rare! He loves his Utube videos... And of course the typical toddler... Mommy is busy.. I WANT HER NOW!!!

Since I last wrote Nash was in the St Patty's day parade for RKH along with his aunt Miss Rodeo Iowa and friend Kaitlyn. Nash feel to sleep right before the parade started and slept till the last block. Amazing how he slept right behind the fire truck and people yelling YEE HAW!!!

He has kept busy with his day to day life or therapies, swimming, and now playing outside... LOVES outside. We have been taking him out a little more, which he loves and yet has produced some new challenges for us... Like his stiff legs and braces do not work well when trying to put him in a cart... After getting him stuck and ten people staring at us and no one helping I got back to the car and cried... Realizing the world is not equipt for disabled kids. Once again I could not just be that normal mom... I pulled myself together and have figured out the solution. Flip over a basket and have him sit on it in the back of the cart... You see he cannot sit flat on his butt well, so without the basket he cannot sit and ride... It takes a litte more time and we get starred at, but it works. I am eeling much better once again about taking him shopping. Plus he LOVES going! He even read the word CHICKEN in the store... He said chicken chicken chicken NUGGET!! There was no nugget, but he loves chicken nuggets, only from McDonalds of course.

He is growing taller and not gaining much. We go to the doctor on Thursday for a pre-op apt. So I have a list of things to talk to the doctor about. All those concerns that people ask about and I sit there and wonder, yet still slightly fearful to find out answers. Nash will have eye suregery on May 21st. So lots of prayers for that! First we get to go on a family vacation to Myrtle Beach. First airplane ride.. I am nervous, but Nate says it will all be fine... I hope so. I soooo do not want to make the evening news!

April we went to the farm (Gpa and Gma Blair's) for Easter. He hunted Easter eggs this year which was a major improvement from last year. He even bent over and picked them up without falling. He also got to ride Sammy the horse. He loved that. Not big fans of George and Dakota the dogs, but maybe someday. Now getting licked in the face and knocked over is not so much fun! Oh and we will never forget mom killing the snake during the Easter Egg hunt... Cut it up with a pocket knife. Happy Easter!! Hee hee. I hate snakes, but murdered in front of the boys during the hunt... Hmmm not exactly risen!!

Nash spent his first night alone at Gpa & Gma Kuehls. He did well and they enjoyed it too. They kicked Gpa out of bed so he got to sleep with Gma. Nate and I got a date night. I of course was sleeping by 10 PM!!

We went to Cabella's in WI with Gpa and Gma Kuehl one Sunday. The ride was a bit much, but we all survived and the weather was beautiful.

Gpa & Gma Blair, Jordanne & Nick all came for teh March of Dimes walk. We had 19 people register and 10 showed up. It was raining and cold, but we all survived the 7 miles. Nash was the most tired when we got home and he rode in the stroller. Go figure! It was a success we raised over $1,000.00 for Team Kuehl March for Babies.

We have had some pretty busy days and the weather has been wonderful this fall, which is great, because we can get out of the house.

Nash still loves Chinese food, swimming, outside, his grandparents, music, pizza, reading words, videos, his parents, going bye bye, and giving kisses. He is still not a fan of eye patching, some veggies, being in the house, going on the potty, and animals.
