a ballerina birthday

Three years ago I held you for the first time...a wrinkly pink
bundle snuggled near my heart. Your dimpled smile was so sweet...

but I must admit, I never imagined myself with a little girl.
I've always been kinda tom-boyish...playing sports with the guys. Not exactly dainty...
3 rough & tumble boys is what I'd always pictured myself with...

Then you came along. With your passion for all things girl"ish". A lover of sparkly shoes & mommy's makeup. Telling other kids that your name is Cinderella...as you strut your stuff in a tutu!

And suddenly I can't picture myself without a little girl.


So happy ballerina birthday!

Mommy loves you TOO much!

She is a cutie patootie! And all she wanted for her b-day was to be a ballerina...and go to Chuckee Cheese! :O)

The latter is waiting for me to have more energy!

xoxo...study hard!

Is she a Feb 7th baby? That's too weird. My Ben & Connor are Feb 7th and if you follow the link from their birthday post you'll see our IS friend Cami has a Feb 7th birthday. I know a bunch of people with aFeb 7th b-day and not a one that shares mine.

I wish I had some pink in my house :(

LOL Jen...pink is cute!

Okay...so no she's not a 7th babe...I'm just a bad mommy and didn't get around to posting her pics til' the 7th. But she's not that far off...the 2nd. My mom's the 8th...and I'm the 22nd. The girls have officially claimed the month of love in our home! :O)

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
