In celebration of World Diabetes Day, I had the opportunity to read a special book to Kay’s class that introduces diabetes in a way children can understand. I’ve said it before, but I truly love Kay’s school! They are so dedicated to advocating for each student and creating an inclusive environment where everyone is involved.…
November is not only Diabetes Awareness Month, but November 14th is also World Diabetes Day! It’s hard to believe that next month will mark six months since Kay was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I’ve learned so much since her diagnosis and continue to pick up new insights every day! Support groups have been…
Over the weekend, Kay had her last game of the fall T-Ball season, and it was a perfect day! We had such a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and the company of friends we don’t see as often as we’d like. Life gets busy with our children’s therapies, school, appointments, and other activities. T-Ball…
Kay had T-Ball again over the weekend, and it’s hard to believe she only has one more game left in the season! An eight-week season sounds like plenty of time, but it really does fly by. Fall T-Ball is a favorite, as the cooler weather finally makes it enjoyable to be outside running around without…
We wrapped up October with Down Syndrome Awareness Month and are now diving into November, which means it’s Diabetes Awareness Month! Two meaningful months, back-to-back, filled with opportunities to spread awareness and educate others. This November is especially exciting because we’ll be attending Kay’s first diabetes walk, hosted by Breakthrough T1D, an organization dedicated to…
Kay had a wonderful Halloween, starting the evening by Trick-or-Treating around our neighborhood. Dressed in her adorable kitty costume, she visited a few neighbors before getting a bit tired; her early bedtime still holds, and though I tried to stretch it a bit, after a few houses, she began asking to go home. Back…
Over the weekend, Kay and I celebrated one of her friends turning 4! The party was at Wally Wombats, Kay’s favorite indoor play place, where she spent the morning eating pizza, devouring homemade cupcakes, and having the best time running, climbing, jumping, and endlessly going down slides with her friends! It’s amazing to see…
Kay’s school held a Trunk or Treat, and I couldn’t wait to take her! We arrived about 30 minutes before the event started, and if you know toddlers, you know that arriving early can sometimes be a gamble! Thankfully, we were able to pass the time on the playground, which kept Kay happily entertained.…
Kay and I recently joined our first Music Makers session at GiGi’s Playhouse, and it was such a hit! The program is new, with only a few sessions so far, and I had a good feeling Kay would love it—she’s all about music! This week’s theme was Halloween, making it even more exciting. We…
GiGi’s Playhouse Las Vegas hosted its first annual Halloween Party over the weekend, and the playhouse was buzzing with excitement! Our incredible friends came dressed in all sorts of fun costumes, the music was lively, people were dancing, and there were plenty of delicious snacks for everyone. Kay had an absolute blast, running around freely,…
