Being a kid with a disability

CIT and not blogging

2009-08-30T20:20:00.000-07:00

Most of you guys usually read my moms blog and plus since I have had the cast on for 3 weeks I haven't been blogging.I haven't even been blogging period but i thought i would blog right now... so here is a recap since the last time I blogged (noticed i haven't blogged since 2 days after school ended) well here I go there has been fourth of july @ the beach cabin and the trip at the Beach Cabin with Emma and Hayley.There was Alli's 13th B-day we went to forks and PA and visited our great auntie Nada. We've had CIT that started on the tenth of August. (if you wanna read all about it read check out my mom's blog) during that it was daddy's B-day then on Thursday the casts came off for good and we made brownies and cookies then on Friday (last Day) we were supposed to be going swimming at the therapy pool (Where I did Swimming Lessons Previously) but somebody contaminated the whole pool which usually means either they went to the "Restroom" in it or "Tossed their cookies". so there you go....

as we get closer...

2009-06-26T17:46:00.000-07:00

As many of you know that this August I'm gonna do the C.I.T constrained induced Therapy Camp at Seattle's Children's therapy area.
I'm so excited because my old therapist Peggy Smith will be my Therapist during the whole 3 weeks of hard, exhausting and maybe crazy work.

well more updates once a week (maybe):)

bye!

my preschool soundtrack /slideshow

2009-03-20T12:33:00.000-07:00

As some of you guys know that I moved to Puyallup, Washington when I was 5 and I attended an special preschool for disabled children like. The school name was Woodland park and well let's just say I had a fun time there but if you guys really wanna know well here it goes. On the first day of school I had been at the bus stop with mom waiting with me for the bus to come and it eventually did so I hopped on and said goodbye to my mom and off we went to school. Then once I was off the bus we were in class. Now there was these two guys one was named Logan and the other one was Josh and apparently they both had a crush on me but I didn't like either of them and turns out they both rode the same bus as me so both them wanted to sit with me but only two people were allowed to sit seat so eventually the bus driver made them both take turns sitting with me on the bus and if one didn't get to sit with me they'd cry all the way home or vice versa. Eventually the bus driver gave up on that idea also so everyday I sat with an older girl with same name as me. And Logan and Josh sat with each other for the rest of the year. And you thought that was the end? Oh not even close and then at school there was a big table and a couple of seats and everyone got to choose were they sat. but as always the teachers had set of this plan that I would have to be in the middle of Logan and Josh again. One more thing the teacher each made us these things with our pictures on them one with sunglasses which I hated so they bribed me with Ice Cream just to do it. Guess how many had Logan and Josh in them? all except for one - it was just me in that one luckily

enough of that I'll just get straight to the point why I blogged about this see @ the end of the year the teachers had made this dvd/cd and it had pictures of the AM and PM classes and I was in the afternoon. It also had these songs on it these are my favorite song and whenever I listen to them I think back on that so here they are:

(they are both sing-A-longs)

the last one is: Who I am by Jessica Andrews

Summer heat

2008-06-29T19:28:00.000-07:00

Summer heat is not good for me.Would you lie to know why? Well im gonna tell you anyway.See in summer some people get really HOT but for people like me we have to stay cool because we can get Sezuires.Which is not good to have. but yesterday i had one but it wasn't because of summer heat.Actually i don't even know why it happen.See I haven't had on for five years.So here is what happened first i climbed in to my parents bed and cuddled my daddy and then i fell asleep then my dad started yelling for my mom (who was in the bathroom at the time)so he went downstairs to look then went back upstairs and saw her looking @ me.My lips were blue and i was twiching my mom called 911 and the paramedics came.

SO YEAH IT WAS A FUN DAY

I'm a kid that has a disability

2007-09-15T21:57:00.000-07:00

Hi my name is ashley I was born with cerebral palsy on My right side. Sometimes I walk with a limp if I don't wear a brace they call it a dafo (dynamic ankale foot orthotic) but I refuse to wear yes it will help but it's stupid during the summer when I wear it my body heats up like a camal in the desert but a little less but during the winter I'm okay with wearing but in the summer,fall and spring I refuse to wear it. Now let's move in the part were I tell you how I do in like running and jumping. First running, When I start running my side dosen't hurt but when I have to run a track I can't do it unless I walk the track. Now competion running I can't even do that. Now jumping I can jump perfect I can even do flips on my family's trampoline. It's so fun! well that's all I have to say for now bye!
