name?

One of Trevy's new ABA targets (he's mastered "hi" and "bye") is "name?". 


I'm pretty sure he gets it.


Cause he's pointing to people everywhere and asking "name?"


We spent a full ten minutes this morning snuggled on the couch scrolling through our iPad photo albums.  He gets giddy happy over the Disneys.  He was demanding to know everyone's name or I was asking him for so-n-so's name and he'd tell me.  


Di-Dough (Bristel) 


Wee-Bee (Toby...who is thrilled he's no longer Wee-Wee for obvious reasons) 


Da-Ee (Daddy...a bit of regression there as he was clearly saying Da-Dee for awhile)


It was super cute.  Also...I thought it was pretty cool that when it was a thing and not a person he would switch it up and ask "issss" (this).

I truly laughed out loud when I read that about Wee-Wee as Toby's original name. I can see why he is thrilled. Trevor seems to be doing great. And honestly I wouldn't worry too much about the regression of Daddy. As children learn speech the sounds sometimes change and they seem to regress with certain sounds. However, obviously Trevor is not like other children. He is extraordinary in that he is doing all of that with half of a brain. I know you know this and I know that day-to-day can be a struggle. But I am just amazed at the miracle that is Trevor. His progress never is awesome.

I told someone today that every day with Trevy is surreal. I don't think she really got my drift...but I bet you do, AM. :)

That's pretty good that he's got the hi and bye down despite the continued seizure activity. As much as it sounds like a consolation prize type of speak, they were telling me at the last eval that greetings like hello and goodbye are way down the line developmentally and if he is initiating them that's great.

Really? I'm SO far removed from typical baby development...I can't hardly remember what my big kids did when.

It does feel consolation prize-y. But I'm making the choice today to try and stay positive. Haha. We'll see how long it lasts! :)

And as I've already lost my lid with Toby over his grammar (what is it with boys and grammar?!) I should probably start fresh righhhhht...

NOW!

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...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
