Kids: Andrew, age 14
Works: Writer, co-owner, Assistive Resources, regular contributor to The Morning Blend
What I like best about being a mom: Showing Andrew the world, teaching him to dream big and watching him grow into a good human being. I still get a thrill from hearing the daily, ???I love you Mom.???
Least favorite part of being a mom: Not enough time in the day to ???do it all??? and watching the years and childhood roll by way too fast!
Famous for: Rolling with it ??? Raising a child with a disability can be like a roller coaster ride ??? highs and lows and times when your stomach feels like it's in your chest. During those dips, if I am productive and positive, I know that soon there is another ride to the top.
Possibility Playground's Run, Walk, Roll will be held this Sunday, May 31st in Port Washington's Upper Lake Park. Registration starts at 9:30 and the run starts at 11:00 a.m.
Possibility Playground in Port Washington is the playground that I wish we had when Andrew was younger. Roughly the size of a football field and the Milwaukee area's only fully universally accessible playground for kids of physical abilities, it is chock-full of adaptive swings, tunnels, slides, wall murals, bridges and sensory activities. There are so many things to do that your kids will never want to leave and you can be relaxed because the playground is wheelchair and walker accessible. Another great thing about this playground is that kids can play side-by-side with their non-disabled peers. Volunteers are currently raising funds for handicap accessible restrooms and an interactive water feature.
