A pink chair, and a winner

It has been an extremely busy day, I have been trying to post since this morning. So I took a picture of Jude in his stander, and I have a hilarious story. I pulled up the picture to post it on the blog, and there on the TV behind Jude is a little kids butt in chaps. HAHA! I am guessing we got were watching America's Funniest Video's, or that parent movie with Steve Martin. I was rolling, and figured it wasn't appropriate for the blog. Jenn offered to crop it after she got a huge kick out of the picture herself.

I will share a picture of Jude in Kendall's recliner. He seemed to like it a lot, but he would need some straps to help hold him in place. He would also need blue vs pink, although Mike cared more about Jude having a picture made in a pink chair then Jude did.

I love the fact that we know parents with other special needs children that Jude can grow up with. I wish none of us where in this situation, but since we are, it's great to know wonderful people. I just feel bad every time I visit, I am an exhausted mess.

So on a WONDERFUL note, Emily's smile boxes participated in a contest on Facebook with Paul's Restoration Company in FT Worth http://www.facebook.com/#/pdrfortworth?ref=nf. They were picking a first, second, third, and fourth place charity to win money. I am happy to report Emily received second, and got $500!!! We are just thrilled. We will be able to make so many smile boxes with that money.

Jude was wonderful all weekend, except he was throwing a few of his tantrums. He threw one in the new stander, and kept whipping his head around. Jude still has very little head control, and I am praying that approves. We are trying everything we can to help improve this issue. Although, I think we sometimes rescue him to quickly from situations where he is aggravated, and just doesn't want to work.
