Back to life... back to reality!

The lull after the vacation... I've actually been so busy that I haven't had a chance to miss being on vacation! Weird, I know. Today was spent in therapy with macy and booking appts for Macy, it seems like she hasn't seen her pediatrician or her surgeon in forever. But some good came out of today...

Macy got approved for an in home developmental aide that will come for about 6 hours a week. We will have this aide for 6 months and my hope is that in that time Macy learns to communicate better, listen better, stop pulling hair/biting, and learn to walk. I am very excited about this!! I have been really stressing about all this lately.

I left one of her classes at PREP a few months ago in tears because she would not stay in her seat, was throwing fits and pulled her friends hair... HARD! I was embarrassed... so I cried. Then I was ashamed of myself for being embarrased about my own daughter so I cried again. Shouldn't I be her biggest supporter and fan? I was having many conflicting emotions. Sometimes this process is just a little overwhelming I guess! Anyway, I want to break these habits before everyone thinks she is mean or difficult. She is really a great kid, but she has a HUGE personality. Basically, she knows who she is, she knows what she wants and she thinks she is running the show! That is probably because I love her so much and she knows I am weak and will give in to her!

Enough of that...

So, I am sure your all interested in my trip :) If not, pretend! We had a great, relaxing time. Here are some of our adventures.






 The dogs were a hit at the city park!
 This is Kyla trying to be like her uncle Brian!
 Kodak Theatre - I couldn't help but think about one of my good friends while I was here.
I think she would love it. Next time!

 We saw this car on Rodeo Dr. There were tons of people getting their pictures with it.
Barry told me it is a Bugatti and I can have one for only 2.4 million! Better start saving my pennies!

 We ate at Mels Drive-in where many famous movies and shows have been filmed.
 We drove around with a map of the stars homes. We did find a lot of homes!
Unfortanulty they are all mostly behind 20 foot hedges ;) So, we didn't see much, but we still saw LOTS of awesome homes! Beverly Hills is a must see!
 Twilight Footprints and Handprints in front of the Chinese Theatre
 And Harry Potter of course!
 I got a lot of star pictures. I had to post this one since we are taking the kids to see the Globetrotters in Feb!
 And I know everyone loves Dirty Dancing!! Don't Deny it!
 Even Kyla got in the action! Snow White is her favorite Princess and the first one she ever met at disneyland! The funny thing is, she has never seen the movie and when the 7 dwarfs came by in the parade, she asked me who they were! haha
 My own little Marylin
 I think Kyla ate too much cheesecake!

 Worlds tallest man!

More pictures to come...

You NEVER have to be embarrassed of Macy, she's a celestial being. Unlike the rest of us.

Looks like fun! You are going to love having an aide. I found it took so much stress off. I just didn't have to worry as much that Ella wasn't getting the consistent practice that she needed.

I hope you were thinking about me at the Kodak Theater because I am sooooooooo jealous that you got to go!!!
