Little Red Car

A few weeks back my mom bought a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe from a family at church. We had been looking for one because Jillian loves sitting in the ones at daycare so much and it is good for working on her leg muscles (its funny how when you are a teacher and a special needs mom you look at toys not from their "cool" factor but by what goals can this help her practice) Jillian's last day at daycare is June 5th, so I wanted to have something at home like a little car for her to use outside this summer and we were blessed to find a family that was selling one in amazing shape.
Every time we have gone to use her car it has been rainy or something else got in the way so tonight was her first time to get to play in her car. She was excited!
She is able to move it backwards a couple of feet but can not move it forwards so her daddy pushed her up and down our driveway while carrying her oxygen. It was so sweet to watch and she was so happy!
I'm looking at the trailer they sell for the cozy coupe to see if it would be able to carry her oxygen tank. Its all about adaptation!
Since we came inside (the bugs came out) Jilli has insisted on playing Dulops with daddy (one of her favorite things!).  So they are sitting on the floor together building as princess castle.
So here are some pics of our adventure (yes I went picture crazy!) 

Look at that great daddy!

Watch out word... Jillian is driving!

Car.... check... oxygen... check... cute monkey stickers... check... cute girl.... Oh yeah!

She is getting the hang of this... no feet... one hand... head out the window.... all she needs is a cell phone :)

A great daddy holding his little girl's oxygen tank so she can have fun... one proud mommy!

Watch out! I'm coming though!

As I was taking these pictures I was thinking how loud brent's shorts are... they were part of his Christmas pajamas... just imagine those with an ugly Christmas shirt!

We have these pretty purple wild flowers in our front yard that are coming up!

Jilli and her daddy

Headed back to her car

We told her she could only take one more trip up the driveway...

Eventually she just put her feet up and rode that way

Brent told her to turn off her car. She turned the key

She was very huggy with daddy once we got inside

In other exciting news... I am SO proud of the parents and kids at my school. They raised $400 in a coin war (and yes most of the money did come in coins) for the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Walk that we are doing. I was blown away and so excited!
