The Schlemme's: April 2011

Colin's (soon to be) new wheels

Today Colin got to "test drive" a couple wheelchairs. It will be ordered in the next week or two and we will hopefully have his very own chair in less than 2 months. If you would've told me last summer that I would be this excited that my son is getting a wheelchair I would've thought you were crazy, but time does heal and we are ecstatic for this - our son will finally get to "walk". This morning was so much fun. He was so happy and once he figures out that this will be his indepedence he will be even happier. How perfect that one of his favorite things to do is "go fast"

This is what it will look like (even the yellow) - it is so tiny and adorable. But deceivingly heavy!

And here is a little clip of him driving - this was his first time in this chair (he spent a lot of time in a different model) and he found the horn right away - I think we might have to shut that off somehow!.

Superhero

We are now in the presence of a superhero at our house. Meet...Batman with his blanket cape and all. So glad we have him around to protect us! I don't think we have to worry about his imagination :)

Colin turns TWO!

Our Colin turned TWO!! Can't believe it. To celebrate we took him fishing (which would've been a lot more fun without the wind) and then had a party at our house with family, including ALL 6 of his Grandma's, Grandpa's, Great-grandpa Cecil and his aunt's and uncles -minus Danny :(. He got spoiled of course, but most importantly he had SO much fun. He was so wound up he wouldn't go to sleep - he was keeping Eli up! That NEVER happens.

I went out on a limb and made his cake for him. Erin and Zoey came over to on Friday to help - we had a lot of fun and the end product turned out really well.
