Finally. For the last (almost) month facebook has been sending me daily reminders of “on this day six years ago”.

Thank you. #147
I am thankful for long awaited answers. Cameron has struggled socially and at school for a long time (always maybe). He has never quite understood social cues or emotional importance. Approximately a year ago we started seeking help and information from doctors that led to a referral to a Developmental Pediatrician. After what seemed like […]

Ugh. I am that parent. THAT PARENT whose child is out doing something like shopping and throws up on the department store floor. THAT PARENT whose child is still in diapers at almost 4 years old. THAT PARENT whose child will poop in their pants and have diarrhea spill out on the floor while out […]

I HATE HD!
I haven’t blogged in a while mostly just out of laziness but it is time to start back and record the goings on of LIFE. WARNING!! Maybe a little graphic. For the last week we have been dealing with the ups and downs that are Nate. His belly is acting off again. It all started […]
