Here lately, Wesley has started getting anxiety every time we get in the car. Until this past weekend, every time we did get in the car, we drove to a doctor appointment, the Children's Hospital, or to therapy. It started when we got referred to the hospital for further testing, even before we had his MPS diagnosis. Wesley kicks, screams, lays down, pushes away, and runs away from the car when I tell him it is time to go. It hurts my heart to know that he is afraid of going places for the fear he will be poked and prodded.
This past weekend we traveled down to Gulfport, Mississippi for a quick beach trip. It was my surprise anniversary trip from my sweet husband. As with most of our anniversaries, it always involves our cutie babies. We decided that this trip was half for him and half for us, as Wesley loves the beach.
The trip was a success as Wesley loved the beach; it was the second time he has been. We spent his first birthday at the beach while we visited my grandma a couple years ago. Last time, he toddled around and sat in the sun with us and enjoyed baby waves. This time he played in the sand, splashed in the water, and collected hermit crabs. The next day he wanted to swim in the pool so that is what we did :) He was a little more timid when it came to the pool and it was short lived as it got really windy and sort of chilly!
Overall, we had a great time. Wesley enjoyed the beach and he is now not afraid of the car. Just in time to start our appointments and therapy back up. This Friday he gets his hearing aids which should help tremendously!! Thank you for your continuing support :)
