I want to share a story with you about a wonderful mom and her special needs daughter named Mary Kate. Mary Kate uses a wheelchair to get around. As the school and students were getting ready for Halloween and the Halloween Parade, Mary Kate’s mom knew that Mary Kate wanted to be a part of the festivities just as much as the kids who didn’t need wheelchairs.
She made a costume for Mary Kate that went all around her wheelchair and looked like a cupcake. She made a hat for Mary Kate that looked like the frosting on the cupcake. Her mom and dad shared her picture with us. Mary Kate looked adorable!
Isn’t it just amazing that so many parents are so proud of their special needs kids and what they are accomplishing? Mary Kate’s mom is the kind of parent that all special needs kids should have because she is awesome!
Maybe Rugby should get dressed up this year as a cupcake for Halloween…but a boy cupcake with blue frosting! What do you think?
That is amazing idea for a costume, I love when people think outside of the book like this. I always find myself on the other side at Halloween. I am much more interested in raising awareness for America’s Toothfairy rather than giving out candy to children, so I can relate to not always fitting in with the usual.
Thanks for the comment Rich and I sure agree with thinking outside the box. BTW I can’t add a shortened link that could lead to a bad neighborhood.
