A great job of sewing! The big day is getting closer and closer! All of you must be getting very excited. Only 3 more days! Hope the packing is going well and everyone is getting healthy for the trip. Lots of and !

Hey.....what a great job!! They look terrific. I can sew home goods (window treatments, tablecloths etc.) but not clothes. I was thinking of trying to do a fleece blanket or two (Disney themed of course) for whoever's riding in the stroller on those chilly mid-December nights at the park. You've inspired me to get movin'

I'm glad to hear you are no longer stressing about all the shenanigans with your Wish organization. It's getting close I'm excited for you.

You would be amazed at how easy shorts are to make. I started with PJ shorts and now any elastic shorts are simple. Now, I have discovered that skirts are even easier!

Thank you! Everyone is mostly well. We still have a few lingering runny noses and coughs. I am hoping that the Florida sunshine is the cure for this! I have finished pakcing everyone's clothes. I burned the pictures from my memory stick to a DVD. I just need to erase the memory stick now. Why is it so hard to hit the erase button? I know the pictures are on the DVD and online at Shutterfly so they are safe. It is just that tiny bit of doubt that is there right before I hit erase!

Here are Bre's 3 skirts:

Right now I am anxiously waiting for Tyler to come home. I called the school about 30 minutes ago. He is normally home at 12:10, but there was a problem with the bus and it broke down in the school lot. I was told that he his back in the classroom and being entertained. They better feed him lunch if they keep him much longer. The school said they did not call since they thought that all the kids that rode the bus go to daycare. I informed them that Tyler always comes home and since he can't talk someone needs to look out for him. Sorry for my rambling. I just want him home with me!

New update: Instead of packing I am now dealing with my son's well being! He arrived home at 1:10 pm and school let out at 11:50 am. The bus company told me he was in the school and he was not. He was strapped to his bus seat on the bus for an hour and 20 minutes while they waited on a new bus. I have been on the phone with the principal on and off all afternoon. The teachers are claiming they had no idea that the kids were on the bus that long and the bus company is saying that the teachers would not let the kids back in the school. I guarantee that when this is over, it will never happen again. Airlines can't keep you on a plane that long. Imagine a 4 year old that can't communicate and there were 5 of them on the bus. Then they told me that they did not call since they thought all of the kids on the bus went to daycare. Tyler has never gone to daycare. Now I am waiting for the principal to interview the bus driver and get back to me. She assures me that this will never happen again. I am just so mad right now. They are supposed to take care of my little guy when he is at school!

Yikes! Poor Tyler and the other children left on the bus. Isn't there some record at the school office that tells them which children goes home and which goes to day care? I don't blame you for being upset over this incident especially having you worry when Tyler didn't show up at the normal drop off time. Hope the fire you put under the Principal will straighten out the office and bus company that if this happens again, the outcome will be different. This is not a time for you to have this added stress!

I forgot to mentioned that you also did a great job on Breanna's skirts.

OMG!!! I can't even imagine how stressed you must be!!! That is horrible that they did that to Tyler (and all the other children!!), was he okay when he got home? So glad he made it home safely but I'm with you, it's their responsibility to make sure that that child is safe when not at home with you!! Thinking of you!!!!

 

[pipersmom]

First, hooray! For having the packing all done. Now..ugg! What were they thinking??? (Or what kind of people are being hired to be bus drivers?) That they would think it's okay to keep any kids, much less kids with special needs on a school bus for that long ?? I am mad for you right now, not that you need any help! That Principal better be doing some serious grovelling when she calls you back.

 

[misskate]

UGH! What a day for Tyler and you! Disney is just what you'll need. I am frustrated for you that they would handle the situation like that. I understand miscommunication, but that is ridiculous. Guaranteed some of those kids had to go the bathroom at least! Rough day, for sure.

GREAT job on those skirts!! I am going to try sewing some for my little one. (She's only 6 months though, thankfully. Lots of time to practice up!)

Hope the rest of your day went better!

 

[StefaniLyn]

Unbelieveable! I hope the principal gets to the bottom of this, quickly! It is so rediculous and unacceptable for a non verbal child to be restrained for that period of time. I believe a student can only beIf the principal doesn't give you a satisfactory answer, contact whichever administrator is in charge of students with special needs. And then the superintendent.

I'm glad that you have finished packing but very sorry you have to deal with this mess 3 days before your trip. I hope it is resolved soon.

Great job on the skirts by the way!

I met Tyler and company last night. They were at MK for EMH and I had them on my bus going back to the resort.

I'm sorry to say that they did have some issues with drivers (not me, I know and honor the stroller as a wheelchair tag) and the stroller. However I believe that things are better now. They are staying at All Star Music and are having a great time.

I spoke up when I saw the lime green mickey heads on the stroller. We chatted for about 10 minutes. They are great people . Unfortunately, I did not have any bus cards left or I would have given some to them, hopefully they will PM me so I can send some to them.

Wow! How neat that you got to meet Tyler and his family while you were driving the bus! I thought they were staying at All Star Sports though? Good to hear that they are having a great time! Thanks for posting!
