random-nings...you know, just for funsies

Bristel was perched on the couch...looking out our big window...







and suddenly started yelling...







Mommy...a daddy robber's coming! A daddy robber's coming!







Took a minute to figure out she meant a daddy "robin"! As in the bird. And not the guy trying to steal our Samsung.







**********






Toby's AllStar team were the champions of their first tournament! And word on the street is...it's the first time our town's AllStar team (of any age) has ever won a tourney!








First inning warm ups Captain Slugger took one to the face. Rewarded with a bloody and broken nose to compliment his trophy! Ahhhhhh...the memories of boyhood. We'll laugh about this someday...right?!








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






Quite possibly the best compliment I've gotten. Ever.







"I have a crapload of respect for you!"






Taken from a recent email...that made me smile.






**********






The Scene: Toby walks into the living room while I'm sweatin' to my morning workout.





Panting Me: Wanna join?






Gawking and Head Shake NO him: Not with those crazy things they make you do!






**********






The Scene: I'd kicked their summer boredom boots outside to play. Toby's whining at the (locked from the inside) screen door. After a few minutes I finally shuffle over to see what was wrong.




Whiney Toby: Mooooooom...Bristel took MY worm!






Victor Bristel: Hahahahahahaha - cackling as she runs around the corner pudgy palm wrapped snugly around Lucky the worm.






Me: turned around and locked the other screen door!


**********







Counting down the days til' Bibi comes to babysit...







I mean visit!







*********







Oh last thought...







I've been thinking about renaming my "random-nings" to "just for funsies". Maybe I'll poll it?

I like the new name.....it's cute.

Bristel sounds like quite a character!! While my older two will look at a worm, neither will touch them. Which surprises me about Haylee since she's our tough-nut.

And.....ouch! Poor Toby! If that was me with a broken nose, my eyes would be crossed in pain!!!

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...
