laughing all the way

Trevy did pee pee on the potty!



Again!!!



That makes number three!



He thought my animated excitement was H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S. And was giggling like a monkey. Which made for a bit of a messy scene. It's hard to make sure everything is pointing DOWN and IN when one is in stitches over the crazy mommy hopping and happy dancing in circles around an adorable toddler seated on a Cars potty!

Love it. We have been flirting with the toilet for months. Its an on again off again kind of relationship. We get great days and terrible weeks. Yesterday Emma spilled water on her dress and did not like the sensation of being wet (a first) so I'm taking the cloth pants out on Saturday...again..... Filled with hope that our children will do their number ones and twos in the toilet consistently. Someday!

I am so impressed because Matthew has only been potty trained for a week and he is three and a half - and he had an "accident" at summer camp yesterday:( It is such a big deal that Trevy is aware and is nearly able to control his little body. I know this is gross but I can't wait until he does poop on the potty!

Sinead...that's the key isn't it. Consistency. It requires SO much more energy to parent him than the other two! But then I do get a different level of joy over his accomplishments too...cause I know how hard he (AND ME!) have worked!

B...Toby was SUCH a tuffy with the poo-ing on the potty! I still tease him that he has very shy bowels!

How come when I pee on the potty everyone gets mad? I mean...c'mon people!

Now...if I pee IN the potty, that's another story altogether. But ON it? Fuggedaboudit.

I have a bag of wet training pants and only three stickers on the Elmo chart. I think I'm going to start cutting up strips of old t-shirts to line the pull ups. It's a little easier. Like you said the key is consistency. I will add "and time and patience"

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...
