Parker is REALLY into puzzles lately. So far he can do 25 piece jigsaw puzzles on his own!

Arper
I have been terrible about updating Ps baby book, terrible about updating this blog.. just terrible.
But here's a fun little milestone to jot down- he can finally say his own name! He has been calling himself Arper since age two and now six months later, he finally got it down. I am so proud!

Ughhhh
Lately Parker has been toting around my spare cane. I know I should be flattered, but it actually makes me super bummed.
This coming from a woman who cries when she sees someone walking their dog (aww how sweet), wants French fries at 10 am but McDonald's doesn't serve them till 11, etc. So I guess I am not exactly a reliable source of what is tear worthy, but...

Allow me to vent.
To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing to tell you about the disappointing experience I had at the ---- Target today. I was shopping in the women's department and using one of the courtesy electric wheelchair carts. Due to restocking, there was merchandise in several carts that made it very difficult to move around the department. My problem is that several employees watched me- literally watched me- struggle to move around the carts and eventually hurt myself moving them out of the way. They didn't offer to help, although they clearly saw me. The exact same thing happened about ten minutes later, when I discovered the only handicapped accessible dressing room to be full of spare clothing racks. Fortunately, a fellow customer offered to help, while again at least two employees stood and watched. I was annoyed, but also very embarrassed.
It is not easy being handicapped. It is not easy to ask for help sometimes. I realize I should have asked for help, but still, your employees should know better than to make a spectator sport of watching disabled people crash into stuff with wheelchairs.
Sincerely,
Sarah
PS- This is NOTHING compared to the time (about 6 months ago) I was yelled at by a Target employee after accidentally bumping into a display with my wheelchair. I was told that my reckless behavior could have hurt someone. Apparently, I need to take my business to a more handicapped accessible establishment.
