Mr. Happy is just racing along the floor these days. Mr. Charm is happily eating some of his safe foods – foods which are NOT safe for Mr. Happy. He is also 2 and has no real awareness of crumbs. Mama is going NUTS. I’m going to change my name … Continue reading
Last Friday Mr. Charm was evaluated by the speech therapist. He qualified. She evaluated him on four things: expressive, receptive, articulation, and (physical) oral difficulties. Of course, we were really only concerned about his expressive abilities, and sure enough, that is what he qualified for help with. She has to … Continue reading
Monday night, the Geek woke up in the middle of the night and went to eat some cereal. Somehow, a bite of cereal managed to crack one of his teeth! He said it hurt like crazy, and was not feeling very well Tuesday. The dentist said the tooth is not … Continue reading
This Fructose Malabsorption road is SO frustrating, I had a post all ready to go talking about how we’ve been “two steps forward, two steps back” non-stop since we learned Mr. Charm’s diagnosis. But then…Sunday’s weigh-in came. He weighed 29.2 pounds!!! To give you an idea of how monumental this … Continue reading

Oh, blood. I never thought Motherhood would bring so much blood into my life. Yesterday Mr. Charm’s first poopy diaper of the day had visible blood in it. As I’ve stated before, that has only ever happened for him if he consumes dairy. So I called the Geek at work … Continue reading
Maybe nothing really does change on New Year’s Day. But it’s a good time to take a look at the changes that have occurred over the previous year. Mommy Wants Vodka, a hilarious, terribly off-color blog I read to bring some adult laughter into my days, does one meme and one … Continue reading
No, this wasn’t our first Christmas with kiddos in the literal sense, but it WAS our first Christmas with kiddos who could manage to unwrap a gift by themselves and be excited about the whole shebang. It was really, really cool. At 8:00 a.m. Mr. Happy woke up. With all … Continue reading
Yesterday morning, the Geek let me sleep in just a little bit. At 8:30 a.m., he walked from the living room, where all the boys were hanging out, to our bedroom, and said “Mama, get out of bed!”. I woke up and said “OK”, he turned and walked back towards … Continue reading
