who smooshed the strawberries?





By all accounts it started out as a happy strawberry patch kinda day
- compliments of the local Early Intervention crew.
Smiles filled the rosy fields.
Nobody could guess the terribly *messy* turn of events looming moments away...





Big brothers happily helped little sisters.

Little sisters busily pick pick picked the succulent berries.

Families bonded & sampled the yummy summery fruit...





But wait





I wonder what the babies are up to?






pondered a big brother...









No worries...

the babies were just frolicking in the hay!



Or were they?









Hmmmmmm...
it appears it wasn't just the babies smooshing the strawberries
that happy strawberry pickin' day...






The big brothers & little sisters had guilty fingers too!





Legend has it...

that every year during that strawberry patch kinda time...

little lips & digits will be stained a smooshy stawberry red.

And now everybody knows who smooshed the strawberries!

The End

Sophie's Story by Elaine said…
What a sweet story! You should think about writing children's books...seriously!!! It put a smile on my face and at 5:30am that is not easy to do...I am so not a morning person.

Bibi & Babu - Hmmmm...I'm not sure either would last the long trip there! Although pretty soon Toby'll be old enough to give it a go! He's actually off to his first summer camp...baseball camp!

Elaine - I am SO not a morning person either! Actually I'm more like late day to mid afternoon...everything else is cranky! :o) MY hubby said the same thing btw...I should try to publish it. The pics are what makes it cute tho! And it was really nice that EI sponsored the event!

I hope all is well for Sophie (and the other girls too:o) And you! I think about you often...and whisper prayers...

(((hugs)))

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...
