Learning to cope without mom is the hardest thing i've ever had to do. My friend Andrea has been keeping me busy during the day so I don't think too much. Her memorial is next Saturday, and I've been working on a video montage to present to everyone. I want it to be special, and help everyone remember her before she was sick. Last night I realized that it's probably not the greatest thing for me to be doing since to edit and get it just the way I want it, I have to preview it a million times, and the emotions get flowing. I would have Adam do it, but I want it done a certain way, so the only person for the job is me. Today i'm headed over to her house to go through pictures with my step-dad and get things ready for Saturday. I'm taking the kids and i'm a little worried that Avery is going to ask where "Namma" is. I've already explained things to him, but a five year old just doesn't get it.
On a HAPPY note....
I mentioned in a previous post that Avery has anxiety about putting his foot down, and I was worried that he wouldnt even try to walk because of it. As you all
know, he's addicted to angry birds and steals my phone all the time. I, the genius that I am, bribed him with a new Kindle Fire! I told him that when he started walking I would order it for him. The kid is walking. For real. At first it was a little awkward, but by the end of the day, he had it mastered! I went online, ordered him a pair of Keen shoes, and ordered him his very own Kindle Fire (jealous). I cannot wait to put a pair of shoes on him! It will give him a sense of normalcy because he wont get every Tom Dick and Harry in Walmart asking him what happened to his foot. It wont be visible for people to ask! I kept finding myself watching him with a huge grin on my face. Im so proud of that boy!!
