Today was a day of thanks. Thanks to Walmart and Sam's club for being the biggest contributer to Children's Miracle Network and for our amazing trip. I can not remember the exact number, but the CT stores raised close to $360,000 last year! That's amazing to me. I think the main source of the money come from people dropping change in the boxes for CMN! Could you imagine what they could donate if everyone dropped their change in the box!
I spoke and told Becca's story today, It does seem to get easier! I think the visuals help bring home the point of how small she really was! I brought one of her diapers and one of Adam's diapers... big difference! I brought a hat that would have been too big and it was tiny and I brought one of her premie outfits that she had to grow into.
Becca was a wild woman today. I think she has been enjoying being the center of attenchion again. She had a hard time when Adam was born. She crashed when we got home, she napped for two hours Gary had to wake her up twice, I had to once! LOL
I also learned today that there is a program at CT Children's that teaches jewlery making as theropy. It was quite interesting! Each person there was able to make a braclet..... I took mine and Becca's to go. Becca had no interest while we were there. Once she saw the bracelet I made while she was sleeping she was all about it! It's interesting to learn about the programs that are offered for the older kids. Today was a great day!
