beach break

The beach has always been a quick cure for the crankies...which we have plenty of these days...


Bristel is such a poser!



but when you're this cute I suppose it's okay to flaunt it?

I am SO lovin' the monkey leash!





The Amazing Seaweed Girl!



she's cute AND edible! Right Trevy?



When all was said and done...

the beach was definately what we needed...



for a cranky break!

How can you sit there and let that wild monkey attack your baby? tee hee

We have one too, only ours is a bear. It will be Kaylee's turn to use it soon. We still have Javi's wrist leash. He was a wonderer. I haven't needed it for almost two years now. He's gotten pretty good about staying close by. I am a firm believer in them. I'm glad they came out with a cute version with the animals. I always got dirty looks with Javi's plain one. Hey, it's better than loosing your kid!

Wow, your beach is beautiful! I agree that no one can have the crankies when you are at the beach...it's absolutely impossible. You are going to have to watch out for Bristel as she gets older!! With those big eyes....and dimples...that is trouble!!! :ha ha ha: It's so funny that you have a monkey leash...we saw a kid at the aquarium this summer flipping out in one, and we are so mean...we just stood there laughing about the leash. Although I may end up eating my words b/c my little monkey may be getting one too! Glad that you all had such a great day!

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...
