Blessings....

I have had a long day. I dropped off Logan with G&G Millington so I could take Carter into the walk in clinic, about a cold that won't go away. On the way there I stopped at Superstore to return icky formula. We got there about 10 minutes before the walk in clinic opened and there was quite the line forming. Everyone was sick and grumpy, or hurting in someway. I gave Carter his little hand held computer to play with. He got very animated and I watched him. There is one point where the computer goes "uh oh" and Carter was doing it over and over. It was cute to watch. Little did I know that I wasn't the only one watching. About his 5th time saying "uh oh" about 4 people said it after him! Everyone was watching him with big smiles on there faces. Well Carter realized he had an audience, and he hammed it up from that moment on. When we all got into the clinic everyone sat as close as they could to him to watch him and laugh with him. He sang for them danced for them and laughed too! It was the neatest thing to see how they would all react. We saw the DR dropped/picked up his rx and headed to G&G house.

We went to get Logan, and dropped off my sunglasses to get fixed (Carter broke them at Superstore). That was not so cute. Picked up McDonalds and headed home. JUST to realize my visiting teachers were coming in a hour!!! ACK! I probably would've cancelled, but I remembered her saying that they had an appointment before hand. Crap. Logan wouldn't stop crying and my house was a MESS. Some how I pulled it together before they got here. Carter went to bed and Logan got distracted by in the night garden. (He loves that show). They came for over an hour! I did enjoy myself though. Adults to talk to. Heavenly. As soon as they left Logan started screaming again.

Anyways, I was feeling a little down. Then I happened upon a story in the internet, about how a Mother and Father watched their 2 year old daughter die after a long battle with cancer..... I don't even know what else to say. I think that says it all.

I think at least once a day I want to sell my kids to the circus but then you hear of stories like that or they do something super cute that makes you grateful you have them. I had a friend tell me "my kids make me crazy but they also make me better" I thought that was great.

So i have been wanting to post all the projects i've been working on. But we are sick. Lovely flu. But the reason I am posting... Erica started rolling over yesterday! I could barley drag myself out of bed, but then i was greeted with this. She looks SO proud of herself when she does it too. Shes been trying since she was 2 months old. So I was wondering when she would get all the way. Shes 5 months in a week or so. She would only do it when you weren't looking. But now shes going crazy! She gets on her belly and tries to push with her feet. SO CUTE!!  She wont stay on her back anymore. Then when she rolls over she stares you down until you praise her. This is this morning. She is an old pro now.

Blogging it because I cannot talk about it.

Cam and I have told people more then once, "Carter is suspect Autism Spectrum Disorder". But after so many months of waiting, and having a specialist sit you down and say  "After observing you son, we firmly believe that he has Autism".   I now realize that I was not prepared to deal with the fact that Carter has Autisum.  I was, and still am, Devastated.  After the specialist told us of her conclusions she then asked , "Now after hearing that, how are you feeling? Are ok? Do you have questions? Can I help?" Honestly I thought I was fine. "We knew this was coming" I said. "I'm fine". Cams answer was the same. After she said "Yes, but sometimes having it confirmed makes it sink in, and you don't react how you thought you would". She was right. As soon as she said that I looked deeper and I knew I was ready to burst into tears. I wanted her out of my house and NOW. I knew Cam was dealing with his own feelings, so I h...

Kids Calenders

So I feel like I am doing A LOT of projects lately. It has been wonderful. I feel as if the "I just had a baby" haze is slowly lifting and I am feeling (sort of) human again. My first project was 'Cams Christmas Countdown' . There are more to come! This one is more of an on going project. But I loved the idea so much that I decided to share. I was at a friends house awhile ago, and I notice her wall was covered in Calenders. I of course asked her why. She told me that she doesn't have time to keep journals for all her kids, so she buys them their own calender every year, and keeps all of their appointments, play dates, birthdays... anything thing to do with that child on their calender. So when they get older, they can go through them and see what they did growing up. FANTASTIC. Ever since Carter was born, I have felt guilt at not keeping some sort of journal for my kids. I barley write in mine anymore. I usually will sit down with my journal and need to rec...
