car bath (a picture marathon)

 

 

Jonathan had a crazy idea.

The idea involved two kids.  A sister.  And her special little brother.  A fenced in yard.  And a double wide gate with enough allowance for a truck to pull through and seal the gate back up again thus trapping both car and kids inside.  (this is key!)  A pulled in truck which happened to be in desperate need of a bath.  A big bucket of soapy water.  And unlimited hose usage.

Oh…and also a dog.  Whom the brother would randomly decide needed a bath as well.  Totally against her will!

By now I’m sure you’ve figured out that the sister is none other than Bristel.  And the special brother…Trevy.

 

 

And did they ever have a blast.

 

 

You’ve heard of Jazz Hands, right?

We call that move up there…Sensory Hands.

Trevy was very thorough.

Until he (had an ADHD moment and) realized there were puddles to splash in!

It may have been a crazy idea.  But at least they had fun.  And you know what…

 

 

it kinda felt close to what a normal family might do on a Saturday morning.

KC does the tounge out thing whenever he is concentrating too! So cute. Although for KC, its cuter when he is trying to get a sock off, as opposed to when he is trying to stick his hand in his diaper lol.

Great idea! Safe....other than for the dry spectators....relatively free....and super fun!

We call the "adhd moments"..."Look! Squirrel!" cause it's like any little thing can distract and be gone before the rest of us have even noticed. So, you'll sometimes hear us call out "Squirrel!" when a certain boy...or even the rest of us....have those moments.:)

My W sticks his tongue out when he's really concentrating too. We once had a pre-school teacher try to stop that....no wonder we left that school!;)

Looks like a super fun morning for all of Happy's little family. Woot! Woot!

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...

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.

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...
