Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair! Tuesday, August 19, 2008. Bye bye Baby Bjorn, Baby bye bye! Well the fateful day arrived a few weeks ago - Number 2. So - goodbye Baby Bjorn! Before any children arrived my wife and I spent some time trying out every conceivable sling. It was obvious to me that the only type that would work for me would be a forward slung carrier type. The backpack designs would be too dangerous - the risk of tipping the wheelchair. After ours was bought. Number 2 is walkin...

Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair!: Why?
http://wheelchairdad.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-first-entry-on-blog-is-always.html
Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair! Friday, June 13, 2008. The first entry on a blog is always the hardest. Where do I begin? Well, why is always a good starting point so. I am a paraplegic, I have a wonderful. What I do want to try to focus on, is how disability shapes my ability to function and engage with our society - both inside and outside the home. So I may get a little philosophical sometimes, but I certainly intend to get practical (for example - why I think. That's it for "Why?

Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair! Thursday, July 3, 2008. Travel Notes: Hilton Hotel, LAX, Los Angeles, CA. Hilton Hotel, LAX, Ca. Entrance is up a hill from the street, but level access. Check in was fast and friendly. No options offered on room (in fact they said they had only one handicapped accessible room available.

Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair! Saturday, July 19, 2008. Although I travel a lot for work, travelling with the kids is not something I do very often. We have been a bit home bound since number 2. Arrived. But this being July, and the weather being good, we loaded up the trusty Ford Taurus Station-wagon and headed North to Cape Cod, a drive of more than 500 miles (800km) and two days. My wife has to take on most of the burden when we travel, as I have moaned about before.

Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair!: June 2008
http://wheelchairdad.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair! Monday, June 30, 2008. Travel Notes: Dulles Airport, Washington D.C.

So you have to take a taxi or your car (the buses are not accessible). If you can afford to leave your car in the Daily (as opposed to the Economy) parking lot you have a huge walk to the terminal. The saving grace of Dulles? One of ...

Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair! Thursday, July 24, 2008. Whale watching in Provincetown, MA. I took Number 1. On a whale watching trip along with two of my cousins and my sister-in-law. It was a huge success, although Number 1 was so over-stimulated by the end of the day that we had a spectacular melt-down at home. We went with Dolphin Fleet of Provincetown. And I was worried that she would be bored but in the event she loved it and had a permanant grin plastered to her face. We don't try...

Living life and raising kids - in a wheelchair! Sunday, June 29, 2008. One of the most frustrating part of being a wheelchair dad is the inability to do so many simple little things that daddies can do. Carry the luggage when we travel. Help carry number 1.
