Calaway Park...

Yesterday Melia, Owen and I went to Calaway park with my sister in law, Sherilyn and her 3 kids. I was very nervous since last year when we went with all my family I was nearly in tears the whole day. We were just in the thick of Melia's regressing and just starting to think there might be something wrong- but I was definitely still in the 'I must be a bad mom' stage and wondering why my daughter loved to beat me up.

So I really didn't know what to expect and was mentally prepared for Melia to scream, bite, and freak out but I wanted to try since next week we will be going again with all my family again.

This was going to be a trial run of sorts and you know what... It was surprisingly successful!!

I was amazed at how well she did. That does not mean in any way that we did not have freak outs and tears and even a bite first thing that still has yet to fade on my arm!

But it means I didn't cry! I made it through the day and we actually had a good time!

Melia loved the swings

Mckenna was such a wonderful helper
