I think it was around the time that I had 4 children that I started getting comments from strangers in public, asking me "Are they all yours?". So as you can imagine, those questions have increased quite significantly now that I have 7 children. Granted, I'm very rarely ever out shopping with all 7 of … [Read more...]
I've always been amazed at the multitude of positions my children can fall asleep in, and actually stay asleep! Here are just a few of my favorites. My 2 year old, today. Here's my now 6 year old (at age 2) and again... Darn, I had a lot more but can't seem to find them! Wish I could fall … [Read more...]
Just before Christmas I won a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe Shopping Cart over at Jolly Mom. It arrived on 12/27 and as soon as my 2 year old saw the box he was ecstatic. He of course helped me rip open the box and take the pieces out. Unfortunately, all the hardware and wheels were missing so he threw a fit for the entire hour + I was … [Read more...]
For the entire 32 months my 6th child has been in this world, he has been absolutely terrified of water. So much so, that I'm surprised neighbors have never called 911 during bath time, that's how blood curdling his screams are. We tried bathing with him, putting him in the tub with barely any water, with no water, … [Read more...]
Wednesday my Grandpa celebrated his 80th birthday and today my Grandma is celebrating her 80th as well. Being able to call her today and tell her Happy Birthday is a miracle, as has it been for the past 20 years. My grandma had a massive stroke in the summer of 1990. I remember that day so clearly, my parents, my sister and I were … [Read more...]
My first born will be turning 15 years old next month. And I'm scared!! When it comes to babies, I don't even hesitate to say I am a Great mom. Babies are my thing. But as they grow, especially now into teens......I'm lost! I really don't know what to do and I suck at being a mom to a teen! You … [Read more...]
For 5 years we have been trying to find someone that will take the time to work with my 9 year old son and finally get a diagnosis. I will be posting about my journey here and you can see all related posts by clicking the 'Operation Diagnosis' in the tag cloud to the right. Yesterday I spoke with a parent liason from ASK (About … [Read more...]
Seriously where does the time go?? Seems like just last week I was sitting in the birthing tub admiring my newborn son in total awe of the wonderful birth experience I had just had. And now here we are 9 months later with a very active, mobile little boy! Kason loves to explore and crawls over the place. It's proving quite … [Read more...]
A few days ago I posted about how I'm at a loss with my 9 year old son. After talking to a local facebook friend, I now have some great resources and am restarting 'Operation Diagnosis'. I think the possibility of autism first crossed my mind about 2 years ago but I denied it. At the time, it seemed to me that … [Read more...]
From the time he could move, my 3rd child was a 'handful'. Always very adventurous, he was a climber. It was impossible to keep him in a high chair, crib.......anything for that matter. Around age 2 I started to notice that his behavior was not of the typical 'terrible twos'. And over the years it has … [Read more...]
