Welcome to the story of my family, and an amazing journey of a little boy who is struggling to make his body work. If you are not familiar with Alex's story, check out my first blog in June (2010)

The zoo, the zoo, we are going to the zoo

Alex and Elle’s Big Adventure…sorry for the plagiarism Pee-Wee! The wagon wheels turned in time to the cobble stone walkway as Alex and Elle and their best friend, Grady, hit the Fort Worth Zoo. With mommies in tow and a Noni too, we saw the amazing animals at their best. First stop was the flamingos. Elle clapped and squealed when she saw her feathery friends. Alex checked out the wagon wheels, and Grady ate his Cheerios. So we were off to see the Elephants and Giraffes. “Hi, Elephant,” Elle screamed over and over again while the Elephant shot dirt on his back with his big trunk. Grady still ate Cheerios, and Alex was forced to take his attention off the wheel to see the elephant too. We saw monkeys and zebras on our way to the MOLA building. We were almost eaten by a huge alligator and took our picture with a Cobra, but on our way out, mommy pinched Alex’s fingers in the door. We had a short time-out to hug and hug until the tears stopped. It was about that time when we stopped to pet the little goats, cows, and chickens in the petting zoo. After furious scrubbing at the sink with soap and HOT water, we headed home to take a long nap! Whew, we had fun at the zoo!
