Vision Bucket List
2 September 2014Its not easy creating a Vision Bucket List for a 4 year old. Firstly because it HURTS. No Mama wants to have to contemplate having this conversation. Secondly - as a family we are very careful about what we tell Den. We embrace the power of positivity, and Den has had so many health problems during his short life - weve always been so careful to keep him informed, without doom and gloom negativity. We make sure no one tells Den 'he cant'. In fact my proudest moments are when Den tells me 'we dont give up aye Mama?"". So many times my baby has proved doctors wrong. So back to the Vision bucket list.... Where do you start? Den if you could meet anyone in the whole world - who would it be??? ""Mickey Mouse Mama"" Well Disneyland is certainly not within our budget. But our budget did stretch to Disney on Ice in Auckland. We saved for such a long time. We flew up in the plane (because of Denon's hip problems he cant sit in a carseat for extended periods). Denny dressed as a prince and not only saw Mickey, but Minnie, Goofy and Donald too. Captain Hook and Peter Pan were also there. And our boys grin couldnt get any bigger! Den if you could do anything - anything at all, what would it be? ""I wanna met a dinosaur. I wanna hear a dinosaur go ROAR"" This of course led to a hard conversation about how Dinosaurs are extinct and we wouldnt be able to hear them roar. But there are heaps of other animals that ROAR. Like the lions and tigers at Auckland Zoo! ""And Mama,Mama I wanna fly on a Dragon"" Oh wow - how do i do this? With our imaginations of course!! Lets pretend Mamas a dragon son, jump on my back and lets fly! Also followed up with a trip to the movie theatres while we were in Auckland to see ""How to Train your Dragon 2"" Little boys Vision Bucket Lists are hard... But we will keep trying to make all of his wishes come true And we wont stop trying to find a cure for these terrible diseases. We never give up son Love Mama xxx
