It's that time again! Time to check out the most read blogs of the last month. This last month was a rough one. I was busy at home and at work and had a cold that lasted a couple of weeks- so expect to see many more blogs during the month of November- including trip reports from our Walt Disney World vacation beginning the day after Thanksgiving!

| The gluten free menu at Six Flags Great Adventure |
This blog post from August remains popular. If you're going to Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey and you're eating gluten free, bring some food with you!

| September 29, 2001- our wedding day |
This year, my husband and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. It hasn't always been easy but it's definitely worth it and I wouldn't change a second of what we've been through!
 |
| The kids at Our Victory Day Camp |
Consistently in the top 10, in this blog, I explain why Our Victory Day Camp has changed Nathan's life! The people from this special needs summer camp have become like part of our family!
 |
| Just some of the paperwork I have to deal with |
Being a parent of a special needs child means you have tons of paperwork- reports, records, evaluations- the list goes on and on! And anyone can cal you at anytime asking for one specific report.

| The FastPass+ page on the My Disney Experience app |
Planning a trip to Walt Disney World has gotten a bit more complicated, even for seasoned veterans like us, since the introduction of FastPass+. In this blog I help you navigate the changes.

| I love Nathan for who he is, not what he does and can do |
I can't always think too far into the future when it comes to Nathan. Instead of comparing him to "normal" milestones, I have to take each moment as it comes and celebrate every moment!
 |
| I sometimes lie to myself and tell myself I can do it all |
A lot of people have trouble saying no. I'm one of them. But I have a hard time telling myself no. I think I can do it all- but I actually can't.
 |
| I will fight for this boy until the day I die |
When it comes to Nathan I will always fight for him and what he needs. It's not always easy but he's worth the fight!
 |
| Nathan's fort took weeks to build, but we all worked really hard for it |
We all learned a valuable lesson this month- hard work pays off. Nathan worked really hard to control his emotions and Jason, my dad, and I built him a fort in the backyard. It took weeks to finish but Nathan's daily meltdowns have been reduced to a couple a week- at most.

| My dad and his sister, Brenda, on her wedding day |
On October 3, 1987, my aunt was killed by a drunk driver. My life, and the lives of the rest of my family members has not been the same since.
Honorable mention:
This wasn't an actual blog post, but a post on my Facebook page. One night I got home from work to see Nathan's classroom assignment. He love that he wrote, "I believe in Lauren Messano"- that was his counselor at Our Victory Day Camp. Hundreds of people have seen this post!
