New start number 2

We are so sorry for the lack of posts on here, we will try to do better for 2013!!! Things have been crazy around these parts during the holidays like we hope everyone else has been. SO...Today is Rubys 1st offical day off her medication!!! We are so excited but of course there is always that little bit of uncertianty. It has taken 8 weeks of slowly stepping down dosages to finally get to this point. Its almost surreal because it has been a part of Rubys routine for the last 3 years that it almost dosen't feel right to do....but we are relieved to finally get her off of it. Of course, she had to catch the flu last night so the poor little girl has been sacked out on the couch in misery, shes been a good sport about it today though with her silly little comments during her awake periods.
  It other notes during the holidays, we took the kids to Railtown for their first steam train ride and now neither kid can stop talking about trains......I think we have watched all the Thomas the train episodes in a day! Santa was on the ride and Ollie was not having it. Ruby on the other hand was a little more receptive to him this time around, after not wanting to sit on his lap at school and a few other places. We also tried to start the kids potty training. Its been hit and miss. Ollie has got the concept down just not the letting someone know, he has to be told. Ruby takes a little more coaxing and still has really only peed once or twice on the potty chair. She will come around though...practice makes perfect.
   Sarah has been doing some great things on moving forward with the universally accessable playground for the area and we are very proud of her great work! I'll let her explain more on that later. Other than that, here are a couple pics from over the holidays, Hopefully Sarah can post more off her phone. We hope everyone had a great New Year and wish everyone the best for 2013!!! We will see ya soon   -Jas
