random-nings

Toby with a disgusted face to me during dinner...




I'd rather eat Ugali!




********************



Bristel to us about Trevy...






He's the bestest baby I've never seen!




********************



Toby to me while holding up his smashed & blackened nail ring finger...





Mom, is this a swear?










or this?











dropping ring finger...and waving middle man in my face instead!








***********************

Bristel on the Holy Spirit...







He's scaaaaary!







Evidently she thinks the Holy Spirit & the Spirit of Christmas Past are one n' the same!





***********************



Toby holding my wedding band...





Hey Mom...





...if you die...





can I sell it????


********************

Bristel on breakfast...


Can I have an American muffin?


It took me a minute to figure out she meant an English Muffin! Our kids divide everything into two categories. American...and African!


******************

Trevy when told "No No!"


Will either throw whatever happens to be in his toddler paws.

Or

he'll find his nearest sibling. Wag his pudgy pointer finger. And say "Nuh Nuh Nuh!"

*****************

Oh...and it so happens that this weekend makes me another year older.


Grams' gift is baby-sitting all day tomorrow so Jonathan & I can have a date!

Sophie's Story by Elaine said…
Happy belated birthday. I somehow missed this post over the weekend. I hope you enjoyed your date night. It sounds so refreshing. Brandon and I towed the kids all over town this weekend...leaves me feeling pretty exhausted for the week. Oh, and the fact that Sophie AND Elsa were both up in the middle of the night for hours on end.

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...
