Throwback Post: Reading and Jumping and Lots of Questions

**THROWBACK POST**

June 11 2013:

‘Cause reading 3 or 4 books at a time like me just wasn’t enough!! Lillian’s reading 7 at a time …. She was reading one when I took this picture. This is what I found when I walked in her room this morning! Silly girl!

Books on Lillian's Bed June 11 2013

______________________________

From Lillian y’all : Hi y’all for those who are going to the 18p- conference this year, i’d like your 18p- child or teenager to practice jumping in the pool by bouncing high on their bed if it is bouncy and if you let them. But for those who aren’t, i’d like you to not give up hope. I hope those who are coming to 18p- conference. Hope you have a great time.
Sincerely,
Lillian

Thomas got a physical this afternoon so we can turn in his application for horse riding at Adaptive Center for Therapeutic Riding! You would think he has never been to the doctor!! (Well, actually, it’s been a year or two!) I hope poor Dr. Bertz isn’t having a hard time going to sleep tonight still reeling from all the questions, jokes and talking Mr. T shared with her.

He LOVED getting his knee “hit with that hard thing” and watching his leg jump. I told him his new nickname is Sir Talks-A-Lot! I handled it all very well since I spilled my entire bottle of water in my tote bag and spent the whole time trying to dry out my writing journal, the 3 books in the bag and the physical form she was to fill out!

Literally, it was a mini-lake! I’m so glad I meditate! It was a GREAT adventure!! Just have some books with crispy pages and a journal with crispy pages to match …. and a little boy who had a FUN time going to the doctor! Big hug to anyone who needs it tonight!

Throwback Post: Book Review: Snowflake Bentley

We enjoyed this book to the moon and back! Awesome!

“The average dairy farmer gets up at dawn because he has to go to work in the cow yard. I get up at dawn, too. But it is because I want to find some leaf, hung with dew; or a spider web which the dew has made into the most delicate ropes of pearls ….

I take my camera with me, get down on my knees in the wet grass, and photograph these exquisite bits of nature. Because I do this I can show these lovely things to people who never would have seen them without my help.

They will get their daily quart of milk, all right. Other farmers will attend to that. But I think I am giving them something which is just as important.” -W.A. Bentley

Throwback Post: Sibshops With Birthdays and Library Days

**THROWBACK POST**

October 3 2015:

Sibshop time for Thomas! Super big plus: Don Meyer is facilitating this one as it’s a demonstration Sibshop. I went through Sibshop training with Don facilitating a few years ago at UNR. I know Thomas is having a ball! He was sitting next to Don when I left. Oceans of gratitude to Diana Beeghly Rovetti and Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities for putting this together. This is Thomas’ 4th one and he loves being a part of them!!!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to my Momma, Patty!! Being your daughter is one of my greatest treasures and one of my biggest opportunities for learning and growing. Love, Love, Love YOU! Hope you and Frank are having FUN!!! We miss having y’all just around the corner!! xoxo

Extra cool library day! We went to a library we’ve never visited!! So awesome, beautiful view, and we didn’t even get to look through all the books and movies. The lighting or something inside made Lillian sick to her stomach. Had to go really fast! She felt better once we got outside and headed home. We’ll have to go back and try again!
