seven snippets–the one where I’m SLIGHTLY less cranky :)

 

 

1…

 

 

Now that Trevor is using more than one or two words in a row I’m noticing that he tends to put some sentences backwards.

 

 

For instance…

 

 

When he sees a Subway logo (the kid is a marketer’s dream!) he always always says…

 

 

Eat Fresh…Subway.

 

 

Even though we sing it back to him the other way? 

 

 

Or like this morning when he almost fell into the tub while trying to pull his pants up.  He hollered to his dad…

 

 

Daddy…in tub…I fall.

 

 

Why does he do that?

 

 

2…

 

 

We’ve had a lot (and by “a lot” I really mean A LOT) of this lately…

 

 

004 

 

We’re in a VERY cheeky screaming NO at everything phase. 

 

 

The good news is…could he really look any more adorable than when he’s nose to corner?

 

 

3…

 

 

One of the skills we’re working on in the Trampoline Center of our Special O program is doing the “bear crawl”.

To be totally honest, I never expected Trevy to “get” it. 

 

 

You’d think I’d know by now…

 

 

Any guesses who’s bear crawling everywhere?!

 

 

4…

 

 

Turns out we’ll be plugged into ABA much sooner than anticipated…

 

 

we had our intake earlier this week!

 

 

5…

 

 

Do you have those time when your mind races and refuses to let you sleep?  That doesn’t happen to me as often as it used to.  But last night I sat up in a cold sweat and realized I never scheduled Trevor’s 6 month appointment with Dr. Neuro.

 

 

Ugh.

 

 

I vaguely remember thinking to myself that I’ll never remember to call in the morning. 

 

 

Hooray for me – I did remember!

 

 

Hooray for Dr. Neuro’s secretary – she fit him in next month!

 

 

6…

 

 

Toby had a test today in English.  I include Penmanship in his English studies.

 

 

008

 

 

I teased him that his writing reminds me of Trevy’s speech.

 

 

In singular form it’s BEAUTIFUL!

 

 

In extended form it’s UNINTELLIGBLE!

 

 

Toby’s response was…

 

 

Well you know, Mom, it’s only beautiful because you’re sitting here watching me.

 

 

7…

 

 

Having a little unscheduled drama this week, which is reminding me that Trevor has some VERY amazing people on his side!

 

 

Those of you (you know who you are!) that read our blog…

 

 

THANK YOU and I couldn’t LOVE YOU more!

Oh, he is so adorable in the corner! I chuckled aloud when I saw that pic and my first thought was how cute he is.
Speech? Ah, he's just using his Yoda powers!;) R used to do that too.
Toby's cursive writing is beautiful! Nice work!
Do you know that kids in the public schools here DO NOT even learn cursive writing?!!! How sad is that!

My oldest "lived" in the corner and my son who is autistic would just head bang in the corner so we had to find other methods to try to teach him. And that is some beautiful handwriting!

M-zee...kids here too! A lot of parents are unhappy about the loss of penmanship. But I know some great curriculums for parents who want to teach it at home! :)

Kristi...SO funny you should mention the head banging. The corner was working so well...until yesterday when he discovered he could bang his head. Ugh. He only did it lightly so I didn't remove him. But fully expect it'll continue in that trend. Which means...you should share your other techniques! ;)

Toby's cursive looks like it could be mounted above the teacher's chalkboard in a conventional classroom. :)

Thanks for participating!

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 ...
