This is the second year Parker has attended this event. We go with him and the entire family has so much fun. Parker is not looked at funny and he his a "king" for a day. Whatever he wants to do, we do. Its his day.
His favorite this year (also was last year) was riding the horses. His eyes just light up when he sees them and he makes a run for them. This year he was ready to ride them and couldn't wait. He got on and smiled ear to ear and laughed the entire time. When the horse came to a stop and it was time to get off, he got off, petted the horse, then got right back on. They took him around a few more times.
The horses just calm him like nothing else does. He LOVES looking in their eyes, feeding them, and of course, riding them. He can't stop smiling.
Well this year, the horses did much more than give him a ride on their backs. We were standing in line, waiting our turn, and I asked if he was excited to ride the horse. I looked at him and told him to say horse. I do this for everything. Ask him to try and say the word. So I said, "Parker, say Horse" Below is what he said.
AMAZING!!!! He says it so clear!
Thank you God for giving Parker another word and we are one word closer to talking! Also, thank you to EVERYONE who helped out at the K of C yesterday. An event like this means the world to families!
