You Can't Always Get What You Want

Well with Regan's birthday being tomorrow I thought I would tell you about some of the things she has asked for on her list. Now I should preface this by explaining that she has no concept of money (it really is the math part of her brain that doesn't function well due to her cerebral palsy). She is also my obsessed child, and when she gets ideas in her head....it can take years to find their way out of her daily conversations (exhausting). Her obsession at the moment is technology beyond our family budget. I am seriously not kidding when I tell you these are things she has asked us to get her.
 the ceiling above her bed. Then she could lay there and watch TV to her hearts content.

2. She would like a mini fridge filled with little debbies, root beer, and steak so she can snack on when she feels like. What a diet, that just sounds disgusting to me.

3. She would like a laptop in her room that has internet on it so she doesn't have to ask for permission to use my computer in the family room. Ummmmm not going to happen because safety mom is on the watch.

4. She would like her own Iphone, because I will not download games on mine for her to play with at the gym in the evenings. She then could call my sister and grandmother daily much to their joy and amusement.

5. She would like a Wii because the Playstation 2 a friend gave us for free is boring and doesn't have bowling on it like her cousins Wii does.

Have you noticed a trend here.....Regan is going out of her way to make sure we spend the most money possible to keep her inactive, and I guess eventually the size of Rhode Island on the little debbie and rootbeer diet.

I love being active and so does the rest of my family. We make Regan work a lot in her walker coming and going all the time and since she has been wheelchair bound for the last two weeks due to her foot fracture...she has been loving life. I am ready for this child to walk again, and not be motivated to be the eternal couch potato. The answer to whether or not we will be getting her anything on her birthday list is a resounding NO!
