Gavin's Wish

Our family has been thinking lots about what wish Gavin would like granted from Make-A-Wish. This is harder than it seems. The wish is supposed to be for Gavin, but since he can't talk or do much of anything, it's difficult to decide what he would like.

Then it came to me today..............

after looking at the following pictures....................






The one wish that I KNOW Gavin would make for himself....................

To "NEVER BE PUT IN WATER EVER AGAIN!!!"

He's been telling us this all along, we just haven't been listening to him!

I told him that Make-A-Wish doesn't grant every wish that is placed, and I'm quite sure that this is one wish that would be denied. Gavin wasn't happy with this information!

Poor Gavin!

So, as the pictures prove, Gavin still isn't enjoying water or the pool. But, this Momma is holding out for success some day!

And, here are a few pictures of Gavin in his wheelchair, getting ready to get on the bus for school. I thought that I should leave you with the happy face that we usually see around here!





At least Gavin likes riding the bus and going to school! It's probably because he knows that they won't be putting him in any water when he's there! :)


"O God, You are my God; early I will seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water." Psalm 63:1

Awww, I wish Gavin liked water better! It can be so much fun!

We just had make a wish email me and tell me they are going to contact the doctor to verify his diagnosis!! I know make a wish says its for them, but with our kids, its kind of for the siblings too. I've been thinking there is nothing Jax would like. He wouldn't like a swingset, or signing time DVD's. So my conclusion..even though we go to Disneyland a lot, I think we would do a Disney cruise or Disneyworld. I hear that Disneyworld has the most fantastic make a wish place. You stay in a make a wish hotel, I can't remember the name. Even the siblings are treated like kings and queens. Gavin would have fun and your other boys will get the attention they deserve as well!

Lacey is talking about "Give Kids The World" down at Disney. We stayed there and it was fabulous. :) Have you decided yet?

OH GAVIN, you just keep showing them you have an opinion, sweet boy!

(Sorry, Alicia, auntie has to favor her nephews choices when she can!)

As for the REAL wish, I can't wait to hear what you decide on! If I can help with any research, just say the word!

The boy knows what he likes and doesn't like :)! I bet one thing he would wish is that the family that takes care of him so wonderfully would get or do something that would make them really happy!

After singing the song videos, I would say anywhere with LOTS of music. Those videos were just precious.

He clearly knows what he likes and what he does not!
