I don’t like shopping at the last minute. And by “last-minute” I mean any holiday gift shopping after December 15th. I just like having it organized and getting all the packages sent at a reasonable time so its off my plate and my recipients actually get things before Christmas Day. I pride myself on good…
Stevie gets vision therapy through the Junior Blind of America. Thus, we get invited to all their cool little events! Well, I shouldn’t say little. Quite a turn out and quite a lot to do. The day started out well enough. We ate, played in the sensory room, visited with some familiar faces, tried some…
Yes, my kid is a genius – reads books and knows all his animal sounds! Just kidding. This is purely for the cute factor. He’s been turning pages for awhile, but lately it seems like he kind of just wants to look at the pictures, which works out great for me, since I know all…
Stevie wakes up from his nap around 3:30 or 4pm. Promptly at 5, I start unconsciously looking at the clock. Sometimes I realize I’m doing it and say STOP! The water will never boil if you keep staring at it. But it only means the countdown to bath time has begun. Usually I plop his…
Here are some Stevie giggles for your long weekend. Happy, happy, happy Thanksgiving everyone! Safe travels and best eating wishes! *Sorry the volume sucks!

Lots of doctor appointments and medication prescriptions and blood tests will just automatically make you more aware. Except for one thing.…
Sometimes I don’t post my frustrated thoughts. They collect dust in the “drafts” folder because I’m worried about sounding overly dramatic. But to keep it honest, I’m going to post anyway. I felt this way, and that’s ok. I know I’m not alone. We have been keeping busy with lots of fun things. And it’s…
Happy Halloween from us dorks! I was SO excited we were all smiling in that picture. I do have to admit, I haven’t been much into the Halloween spirit this year. It’s just been too busy. I don’t even have Stevie’s costume totally done. Is it even worth doing at this point? I know, I…
This was during Occupational Therapy. He loved it, until he didn’t. Kept him occupied for like 5 minutes though, which we all know is an accomplishment. I loved watching him get dirty! But I think his favorite part was getting washed up in the sink.
We just got back from a trip to San Francisco (more about that later). But I had to share a moment with you. This moment. I know he looks like a walking pro/sexy model. He is neither of those things. Yet. But to see him walking (stumbling) hand in hand with his Baba. Then…
