extreme makeover

tonite we have been watching extreme makeover home edition. afton especially loves this show, but rarely gets to watch it due to her school schedule. she has winter break this week and so she wanted to stay up late to watch the show. the family featured tonite has a 19 year old son who was born without eyes and is also in a wheelchair. afton was really taken with how his parents have to put him in the bathtub. she has made several comments about it, which shows her concern about their situation. so, we are anxiously awaiting the revealing of the bathroom. i love this show and how it really changes people's lives, especially the folks who work on the house. when the contractors are crying, you know they have had a really special experience. we have now seen the bathroom and afton says "i love it!" she also thinks it will help him to become more independent. her parents will be able to do their own stuff, and he can do his stuff. i also love that afton gets the chance to see how other people live their lives while overcoming challenges.
