 May 28th, 2011Ask any Harry Potter fan who “The Grim” is and they’ll tell you it is what Professor Trelawney refers to as “death”. In several Harry Potter books, this particular professor, whose talent is foretelling the future (though not with guarantee of accuracy), has seen the signs that foretell what she believes to be Harry’s death. She becomes [...]        
May 8th, 2011I wish all mothers around the world a Happy Mother’s Day! May your day be filled with love, peace, and relaxation. In otherwords, nothing like your normal days as a mom! :) I had an eventful Mother’s Day: I followed up my usual visit to church with a family trip to Costco where Nick had a meltdown because he [...]
April 7th, 2011Today the kids did their part to help the people of Japan who were affected by the recent earthquake and terrible sunami. Their school held a “Jogging for Japan” jog-a-thon. Chase was particularly eager to participate. Del & I pledged a dollar each for every lap the kids did on the field at school. Since [...]
January 13th, 2011If there’s anything I could be accused of being addicted to besides great shows like Lost and 24 or movies like those in the Harry Potter and Twilight series, it would be freebies. One of the best freebie sites I’ve come across is Hey, It’s Free! On today’s newsletter, they listed a freebie I think all mothers [...]
August 7th, 2010I had a dream last night that Nick was talking. He said,”Hi, there,” plus a few other words. I’m hopeful that dream comes true soon. I’m waiting for the day I hear him say, “Mama”. We met with the school district last week, since they will be taking over for the Regional Center once Nick turns [...]
July 25th, 2010We’ve made a little progress with Nick, but it’s slow going. I was hoping he’d be saying a word or two by now, but nothing yet. Nick uses the sign for “more” every day now, but he still doesn’t understand that just because he gives me the sign doesn’t automatically mean he’s going to get [...]
July 4th, 2010It’s been a couple of weeks into Nick’s speech therapy and we’re starting to see a little progress. The speech therapist is focusing on one concept at a time. The first concept is communicating via sign language. Our first word: “more”. We have to work with Nick by asking him when he wants more of [...]
June 13th, 2010Okay, here it goes. I’m going to say it. There is a problem with my precious little boy. For some reason, he’s not talking. Literally. A child his age, 32 months, should have a vocabulary of about 150 words. Nick has one. The only discernable word he utters is, “Uh oh.” He makes other vocalizations, mostly grunts, [...]
September 12th, 2009We had a day of success yesterday! A dry pull up ALL DAY LONG!!!! I was so energized by that that I decided to brave the waters and let Chase wear his “big boy’s” underwear all day today. So far, so good. (Wait — where’s a piece of wood for me to knock on?) The sticker [...]
September 2nd, 2009You know that well-known cereal that all kids love? The one that is so easily recognized by its simple circular design? The one that is made of oats and a perfect finger food for young children? Yes, that cereal — Cheerios? Well, apparently they did something to offend Nick, because he has gone on a [...]  Tags: children, daily life, food, |  Category → Child Behavior, Daily Antics, It drives me crazy when ... |  5 comments |
