Really?

My family is on week three of this sickness. That means for three weeks I have not been able to think straight. For three weeks I have gone through 1 1/2 cases of kleenex, which also means I have had a kleenex attached to my nose for the same amount of time. Its been three weeks since I kissed my husband. It makes me question all of the decisions I have made over the last few weeks. Yesterday I put up my Christmas decorations. Was it a moment of insanity as it was only Nov 14? I usually do this Dec 1. Also in the last week I have been emailing back and forth with my boss. As a result I am returning to work before my Maternity Leave is over. Very casual. But it is something I swore I would never do... 
I seem to have lost my ambition. There is three weeks worth of laundry, 2 days worth of dishes. (thats a lot). My house did get partially cleaned as I put out snowman and ornaments. Thats nice. 
Other areas. I watched Carter take the trail mix that he didn't eat off his tray and put it onto the ground. I know why he was doing it. When he is hungry, he brings me his tray and says "num nums". But instead of teaching him the proper way to do this, I let him continue to deface my floor. I knew it would take much less effort to sweep it up. 
So, is this sickness temporary insanity? I think so.

Carter was watching TV upside down with his bum in my face. So I took a photo. He makes me laugh.

I came out of the bathroom today to find Carter 'wrapping' himself. He kept throwing the ribbon over his head and letting it fall.




This is our "Christmas Tree". Our place is way to small for a tree. Last year we tried a little Charlie brown type thing. But Carter attacked it every chance he got. So this year we put garland around the fire place. I put on all our favorite ornaments. Im quite happy with how it turned out. Better then the tree last year. It really has brought the feeling of Christmas into our house. Which I so sorely missed last year.

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...
