A little mommy tidbit...



It's awfully hard to keep a straight face when chastening your first born son should he...



pause...



sailor salute...



and reply "affirmative"!



*********


How big would you smile if you discovered Trevy discovering the earbuds?



And (white boy funky) dancing to the PlayHouseDisney tunes he was hearing in them?!



**********


Bristel frantically irrational to Jonathan immediately after waking...



Daddy...I just don't know who I'm going to marry!



I just don't know!



**********


Toby was snuggling a very sleepy puppy. I plopped down on the couch next to them.



We sat there for a moment. Just enjoying each others company. When Toby finally broke the silence...



Hey Mom...



I know what Callie wants to be when she grows up.



I raised an eyebrow.



A mommy!



Sigh. Here we go again. With the but how do you know for sure convo. Which always follows the I want another baby brother convo.



**********


Dr. Pedi to Bristel during a recent well-visit...



Does anyone smoke in your house?



Bristel...



Ummmm...no.



Then adds...



Well sometimes mommy does.



Me to Bristel...



What?!



Bristel to me and Dr. Pedi...



Well you do make the kitchen smoke!



**********



Bristel to me on the way to our homeschool co-op recently...



I think we should pray all together. Isn't that a great idea?



(she punctuates everything with isn't that great idea?)



Me to Bristel...



That is a wonderful idea, honey.



Toby without peeling away from his gameboy...



Just don't close your eyes, mom!

Grams' Trevy highlight of the week was his response when Pop-Pop asked for a kiss good-bye.




He came in for the smoochie...



...but couldn't bring his (sensory) self to touch the beard. Which seeing caused him to whole body shiver cringe. And he instead kissed his hand to blow a kiss. But changed his mind on that even...



and instead...spontaneously...raised his hand for a hi-five!



Looks like Pop-pop better get used to good-bye fives instead of smoochies!

My Weds through Fridays are KA-RAY-ZEE.



I'm just compelled to share that nugget with you. On the chance that I should receive emails or facebooks or phone calls...and they go unresponded to. I am SO sorry! I most likely DID get it. Just didn't have time to respond immediately. And when I don't ASAP...I tend to forget!



**********



A friend was hanging out the other day and I had stepped out of the room.



She insisted (to my rolling eyes) that Trevy had laid his head down on a pillow and pretended to snore.



I totally thought she was flaking!



Until...



Trevy laid his head down on a pillow and pretended to snore!!!!!!

too cute...the innocence of children...love-love-love it!

I know i posted this on someone else's blog...so you may have heard it already(sorry)...but this is another crack-up moment I never will forget....

As I put makeup on in my bathroom, Hailey is watching me and playfully putting some on.
I referred to her in conversation as "lady"

Hailey..."Mom...I am not a lady I am a girl!"

Me..."well, what is the difference between a lady and a girl?"

Hailey ..."Ladies boobs wiggle and girls boobs don't!"

Oh how adorable. Emma discovered loud high pitched constant screaming. I can't think of a way to write that and make it seem cute.

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...
