Fat Chance

Today one of my friends sent me an update with pics of the kids. One was of them on a family trip to Sea World. In this picture the dad was behind the camera and mom and two kids were sitting in their seats excitedly watching the show, mom's arm out pointing to whatever was going on. If you ever think you'll be getting a picture like that from us, Fat Chance! S1 could never stand in line that long for starters. Second, he wouldn't be able to sit still long enough to watch the show. We'd have to get up and leave after ten minutes. I think that is one of the hardest parts of having a child with special needs, not being able to participate in some of the "normal" family activities, that you had dreamed of, because it would just be too difficult, physically and emotionally. In the end you have to decide is the outcome going to be worth the trauma? Right now, the answer is no.
