So Much To Say, Eh!

Whew, there has been a lot happening in Tigerland lately.

First off, the switchover to natural gas is complete. They completed the project in just two days.
It was great, and Tiger was great. Mostly she hid in her room, she wore her headphones and when that didn't work, we went outside. When the workmen came outside to drill, we went inside and when the smell was yucky, we went to the backyard, it was a lot of in and outs, but there were no meltdowns and that's just awesome.

Oh and Tiger is really digging the air conditioning, getting some more sleep around here.
Happy Happy, Joy Joy Dancing all around the place.

Amazingly the government of Ontario has reversed its decision to end IBI at age 5 !!
My sister in-law and I both cried when we heard the news. The relief I feel knowing that therapy will be available should Tiger suffer another regression is just so immense, I have no words and I might start honking like a goose if I keep thinking about it, so lets move on. More great news...
Tiger is being allowed to access ABA out of area, which is simply awesome, saving us a ton of money in gas and hours of screaming in the car.

To all of you who campaigned, signed petitions, emailed, called, hash tagged and protested along with us, let me say Thank-you. No matter how small your act of support was, it made a difference and the officials we elected heard your voice as well as mine. To our elected officials I say Thank-you for listening and reevaluating your position. I'm so proud to be a Canadian right now.

Speaking of being a Canadian. We ended up having a much larger than expected celebration.
We have more friends than I thought, and even though it rained on Friday  we still had a great time. We just extended the party, straight through till late Saturday night.

Tiger only had  a few meltdowns on Friday and Saturday.  Admittedly I had a lot of help pulling this off. My BFF basically runs the show when she's here, for which I am eternally grateful, and my in-laws took on most of Tiger watch, which makes it possible for me to relax and have some fun. & boy did I have fun, I had 2 mixed drinks people... 2!!!!


The High Functioning Life, where we don't get out much, but we still know how to party.
