Things I learned from diabetes this month: June edition

-There are some great companies out there, quietly doing some wonderful things for our kids... one of them being Hawaiian Falls.  A few weeks ago we learned that they were doing a Champions Day; where they'd open the water park early and have a two hour time period set aside for kids with special needs.  The kids were admitted free, and any other family member got in for just $5.  We were then allowed to spend as long as we wanted at the park for the rest of the day.  Elise is such a little dare devil and had a blast!  Unfortunately, we learned about it the night before it happened and weren't able to spread the word to our other D-Peeps, but I hope they do it again next year.  Thanks Hawaiian Falls!

-Elise LOVES the spotlight!  We were asked to take part in a photoshoot for some specially made superhero capes, and she put on quite the performance.  I loved watching her enthusiastic antics as she ran around trying to show off just how super she is.  Even more fun?  We got to hang out with Super Nate!  Here's a sneak peak of the dynamic duo's cuteness:

Thanks to our photographer extraordinaire, Tressa Thomas, and to Superkid Capes.  Elise was allowed to keep her outfit and slept in it that night.

-My baby girl really isn't my baby girl anymore.  I saw that a bunch of D-Moms of toddlers were having a get-together and it dawned on me... we no longer fit into that group.  But I am amazed and so proud to watch how she is growing, especially when it comes to her diabetes.  She now not only checks her own BG and boluses herself, but she likes to figure out the carb counts as well.  She's pretty good... when she has a banana, she's generally only off by 1 - 2g of carbs.  Where did my baby go???
