In looking at my last post, I can't help but think that diabetes is a lot like golf. You can have your best round ever followed by your worst. With diabetes, every day is a new day. You can have your best day ever, followed by a not so good day. Or the reverse, if you are having a bad day, there is always tomorrow.
On Sunday, the boys participated in a sugar free Easter egg hunt sponsored by JDRF at Lake Wheeler Park. What fun! There were probably several hundred eggs spread out on the lawn when we got there. They broke the groups into older kids and toddlers. The boys really enjoyed the hunt and all the treasures inside the eggs. In my opinion, if I were a kid, it is a lot more fun to receive a rubber lizard or snake than candy. After the hunt, folks stayed around for the post hunt activities like sack races, face painting, bubbles, crafts and other fun stuff.
The highlight of the day though, was a Trinity, a cute little 5 year old girl, recently diagnosed, asked Chance what color his pump was and if she could see it. Hers was silver. Chance's is blue. Chance pulled out his pump to show it off. We also met another mom of twin boys who were 7, where one had diabetes and the other didn't. Great connections!
