Many of us in my age range and older remember the days of family TV programing on Sunday nights. There are two shows I really remember. First it was Life Goes On. This show starred Chris Burke as Corky. Did you spend your Sunday evenings with the Thacher family? Today I dream of my daughter having a sister like Becca Thacher. (the other family show on Sunday nights when I was growing up was Touched By an Angel)
Anyway, the reason I am bringing you all down memory lane is because tomorrow I am leaving to go over to Yakima with 4 other moms of children with special needs. We are going to attend the Valued Lives Conference. Tomorrow night I will have the opportunity to hear Chris Burke speak. I'm thrilled to have this chance. I will be sure to fill everyone in on my experience after I get home on Friday.
This is just the first of some exciting opportunities I have in the next couple of months. Next month I will be attending a KIT training (KIT-Kids Included Together). This training will train me so that I can train others on KIT. This is so exciting for me to take part it these trainings. I look forward to a day when our children can go to the same fun kid places and not be turned away. A day when parents wont have to worry about what they are going to do with their children when they are forced to get a job...There will come a day when all childcare providers will be trained on including all kids together in their centers. Dream with me, and let's make the step to make a difference!
