Oh What a Night....



What a fun night we had! While Jack & Sean were at first a little stand offish with the characters, they did not head for the hills as I expected. They came around rather quickly and would seek out the characters for pictures. Quite surprising since the 2 of them do NOT like having their picture taken.

I enjoyed my time talking with other parents who have "walked in my shoes", while the kids played without me having to worry if they were escaping. Once I knew they were ok with the characters they weren't going anywhere...LOL!

3 years ago if you would have told me that one day I'd be sitting at Sesame Place watching my boys run, laugh and play with their favorite Sesame Characters I would have thought you cruel, lacking compassion and down right oblivious to my reality! Those weeks in the NICU it was hard to imagine them coming home let alone progressing and coming as far as they have. I couldn't be any prouder and it is these moments that help me realize how important it is to continue to volunteer and raise money for the March of Dimes. I want other parents to have these moments...I want other parents to NOT have to endure our pain.

I'm so proud of my preemies, and my older children, we've all come a long way, learned a lot of life lessons and are all a better family for it!

Thank you March of Dimes for giving us Jack & Sean!
