Having Success

Proud mama moment!

We visited our favorite place today, The Twin City Model Railroad Museum.

When we got the email earlier in the week I had mixed emotions. My first thought…YES! Cooper has been asking every day to visit. But then immediate worry. Masks are required.

So, we started practicing that night.

Ten seconds at first. Then 30 seconds. We tried different types of masks and found this style to work the best for him. It goes around his neck and he is in control of pulling it up and down. The material is soft on his skin and he can breathe. He also looks super cool!

Well…He wore his mask the majority of the time! I’m so proud of him!

He also picked out ten magazines and seven postcards. He’s one happy boy.

It felt good to get in the community today and have success.

Finding Cooper’s Voice is a safe, humorous, caring and honest place where you can celebrate the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child. Because you’re never alone in the struggles you face. And once you find your people, your allies, your village….all the challenges and struggles will seem just a little bit easier.
