ON THE ROAD AGAIN....LITERALLY!

So, look out world, I am definitely feeling better!  Yay!  The effects of the surgery wore off and I am back to my usual craziness!  Mom, said puppy love was all I needed.  This is my new baby puppy, Holly.  She thinks I am a chew toy so sometimes she's annoying, but she sure knows when a guy is feeling low and distributes those puppy kisses with great enthusiasm!  Talk about LAB work!  There is a really good article about animals and special needs kids on parenthood.com.

I also found a article about a Labrador named Bennie who helps his autistic friends!

Do any of you have special pets, companion animals or service animals?

Another milestone this week.  Three days after my ear tube & test adventure, it was my first day to ride the BUS to preschool.  Since my special school is quite a drive for Mom, and sometimes it's hard for her to arrange her work schedule for me to go, the school suggested I may be able to ride the cool kids' bus!  Mom was not so sure about the idea, me being a little guy and all.  She took a picture as the bus pulled away with me inside.  Here is what she wrote:

"Wy's first bus ride to school. Just him & blankey. Most likely his last because mom is about to have a melt down and heart failure."

Well I loved it!  The driver was really nice!  I had lots of big windows to look out of!  I felt so grown up!  Really, Mom, If it helps you out..I think I can handle it! 
Of course, you could always get me my own car....problem solved!
