Today is our sweet Booski’s 21st birthday. Happy Birthday, Anna!
Anna is rocking her life at the moment. She is thriving at Life Bridges and even has a new boyfriend, Freddy. The Dak Prescott obsession has faded a bit since the Cowboys are in the off season. We are focusing on healthier choices and exercising more. Her annual ARD is tomorrow and she was involved in setting goals in our pre-meeting. She is going to try to go out in the community more with Life Bridges, start using different transportation options, continue to transition from one activity to another with fewer prompts, make her lunch (including prep and cleanup) once a week, and try attending a day hab this summer.
21 is one of those milestone years where reality stings a tiny bit. We should be taking her out for her first official drink at a bar and getting ready to celebrate her graduation from college. But that’s more my reality and dreams for her than her own. Anna is perfect just as she is and I’m so lucky to be her mom. She’s taught me to live in the moment, laugh every day, and appreciate routine. When we have those moments that are extra-ordinary, we appreciate them. Today is extraordinary. Happy Birthday, Booski! I love you soooooo much!
