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!

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
