Splish Splash....

I decided I should document this since this usually a weekly occurance. My sweet lil Kyle and the messes he makes...He loves playing in the water. And when I say loves I dont think that is a strong enough word to describe the feeling he gets when he has the water running and is filling up bowls and cups of water then dumping it out so on and so forth! He could play in water for hours and usually does several times a day. A lot of times I just turn the kitchen faucet on and let him go at it! It keeps him busy and he usually keeps it in the sink. Well, his new favorite thing is to have me put a little bit of soap on his hands (he loves the feeling of soap...lotion...shampoo..etc). Well he wanted the water on so i being the good mom I am turned it on and went into the living room. I failed to put some soap on his hands (1st mistake). I also failed to put the soap out of reach (2nd mistake). He decided to get it himself...so after a few minutes he walked around the corner with his hair completely sudded up! He was so pleased! Hard to get mad at him when he is grinning from ear to ear! So I laughed and he went the rest of the day with soap in his hair...at least he smelled good! ;)

Merry christmas to all!

Happy 3rd birthday Cody!

December 22nd 2005 Cody Chase Wagner came into the world...all 8 pounds and 7 ounces!! He was such a cute baby despite his constant crying and demanding personality! I think that is probably why he was blessed with such good looks...otherwise who knows what would have happened to the kid after listening to him cry for hours on end! :) He has grown up to be a pretty funny 3 year old that makes me smile a lot! He kinda gets a bad wrap for bein a wussy but then uncle Jason came to the rescue and told us all he doesn't fight back cuz he's so Christ like!! I'll take it! Cody is gonna be such a great brother to Kyle and I can't wait to see him become a lil man! Love ya buddy, Happy birthday Cody!

A Christmas Program...autistic style!

Kyle goes to a school for just autistic kids. It ranges from kindergarten to 8th grade. Each class with no more than 8 kids with a teacher and 3 aides! His teacher this year is amazing and her aides are just as great. I try and make an effort each week to let them know how appreciative I am of their hard work, dedicaton and most importantly the love they have for these kids! This week my appreciation reached a new level. I had the opportunity to attend the BEST Christmas program ever! The other day I was in the office chatting with the principal and she was mentioning how the kids had practiced for a week for this and they worked so hard on it! She seemed really excited! I have to admit I went home and had a good chuckle with my dad and brothers and then with Jen. We weren't bein' mean just curious to see what they had in store! :) So, Tuesday came and Jen and I showed up a little early, camera in hand! We made the trek to the cafeteria on the main campus in we walked to see on stage 40+ autistic kids along with all their teachers and aides! They were all sitting so nicely (well as nicely as autistic kids sit, which was pretty impressive)! Kyle saw Jen and I and gave us a big grin and wave! The program lasted maybe 15 minutes, but it was the best 15 minutes ever! I was so proud watching Kyle shake his jingle bells and wearing his reindeer antlers (which he didnt pull off til the very end)! He did such a great job! Then we all walked back to our classrooms where a male aide dressed up as Santa and went around to the classrooms and handed each kid a lil bag of goodies. I'm getting a teary eyed just writing this down but...Those teachers are awsome! What a gift they gave to each one of us parents. To watch our kids up there on stage with such pride! The teachers and staff members put this together on their own. They didnt have to do it, they did it because they love those kids! I'm so blessed to know that Kyle goes to school every day with people who love him just as much as I do.
