Some experiences are too cool for words, and this was one of them! Well, maybe just a few… James had never been in a bounce house of any kind until just a few days ago. He’s hooked, big time! He had the most amazing smile once he started to figure it out. Even the ‘bounce … Continue reading
It’s been a big couple of weeks around here. So many new things happening all at once. No wonder James is experiencing some anxiety. Poor little munchkin. I’m so grateful to the wonderful instructors at Music Together Dallas who are helping us work through his anxiety so he can enjoy music class again. Thursday we … Continue reading
If you’ve followed along with James for any time, you know that he LOVES music. Music has had a huge impact on him right from the beginning. We sing all kinds of songs with James, from your typical toddler stuff, to oldies, The Beatles, Ramones, TSO, Bon Jovi…he loves it all. He sings much more … Continue reading
Lockdown-free days are here – thank goodness Spring has arrived in Texas! We could do without the seasonal allergies that have all of us a little sniffley, but it’s a small price to pay to get back outside. We’ll take it! Especially when I heard that my friends up north were expecting more snow last weekend. … Continue reading
We decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather Tuesday, and took a trip to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. RSV season is not officially over yet in Dallas County, but we’re slowly getting back into the real world among other people, and it feels good. The Arboretum is one of those magical places … Continue reading
This is the most common sight in our house right now. James has always adored books. From an early age he used to pull every one out to find exactly the one he was looking for, then flip through the pages looking at all the pictures. He did go through a phase when he wanted … Continue reading
Where to begin…so much time has passed, and my little guy has made amazing changes these last few months. I think an old-fashioned update with a few cute photos is in order. First of all, James is still eating! He’s growing and gaining weight – he even gained half a pound while fighting off a … Continue reading
My intention was to blog at least a little during our vacation, but that didn’t happen. So today I’m going to post a few photos, and then I’ll get back on track next week with a full update on James’ evaluation at The Kennedy Krieger Institute. (It was even better than I hoped!) We began … Continue reading
I wasn’t going to publish a blog today. There is so much happening in the world that makes anything I have to say seem trivial. But James isn’t trivial, and some people have told me that he gives them hope. I think we need a whole lot of hope, goodness, and love during times like these. Maybe James … Continue reading
Most of our days start the same way. James comes pitter-pattering down the hall at some point; sometimes it’s 1 or 2 AM, sometimes it’s 6 or 7 AM. Either way we snuggle for a while (hopefully a long while if it’s 1 or 2). He announces when he’s ready to get up by sitting … Continue reading
