Turning Lemons into Lemonade

We geared ourselves up for Adele's Ear Tubes Surgery last night when low and behold I get a phone call from Dr. Amin at 10:00 saying that the Audiologist who was supposed to do the ABR Hearing Test after surgery had an emergency and wouldn't be able to attend, thus forcing us into a situation where we had to reschedule.  Yikes....

Turning lemons into lemonade and rolling with the punches is a theme that keeps coming up in our lives especially related to Adele's needs.  These type of situations are gentle reminders that the ship will sail and flexibility is key.  Adele's big smile and hug in my breakdown moment reminded me that she is just fabulous and will continue to be fabulous.

Our lemonade came in the way of a trip to DCM which also lead to us purchasing a membership! I was pleased to hear that through April of 2013, we will be able to use our DCM membership to get in free at Navy Pier's CM and Oak Lawn CM!  Another bonus was that we went to DCM on a day in which we practically had the entire place to ourselves!

I haven't been to the museum with Jade in awhile and I can tell she's getting to know the place and was also just as pleased that crowds were elsewhere. Adele had a great time in the Young Explorers area.

Time for more good laughs reading fabulous short stories from David Sedaris' "Me Talk Pretty One Day".
