Joseph

We took Joseph back to the Psychologist in Syracuse and he confirmed that he is not Autistic. I'm very relieved and upset that I let the pediatrician get me worked up. Dr. Keith could not really tell us why he won't talk to anyone but people he knows VERY well or why he won't potty train other than he'll come around and not to stress ourselves out. I'm still worried about the school screening coming up in a few months because I know he won't talk, make eye contact or participate in any way. And what do I do with a child entering kindergarten that won't go to the bathroom!?!

Why.....

Why is it when a child throws up it's always in the middle of the night and all over their bed!?! Luke and Joseph have been sick with colds the last few days. Last night Joseph was coughing so bad I tried to give him some medicine - which is IMPOSSIBLE with this child, he rejects everything by spitting it out. Soooo I buy the strips that dissolve on their tongues so he can't spit them out - so what does he do at 11:15 p.m. - he vomits so the medicine is useless. He was complaining of a stomach ache all day, so he may have a touch of the stomach bug going around. Needless to say, I was doing laundry and Steve was giving a bath AT MIDNIGHT! God love my Gregory, he came running right down stairs and was helping us out!

The Perfect Sunday

My definition of a perfect Sunday - sitting in the recliner, boys on my lap under a mound of blankets and, of course, still in our pajamas, where the biggest dilema is do we watch Sponge Bob or Scooby Do!

New Beds

Because the Joseph and Lucas decided they want to be in the same room, I wanted to get them nice matching beds. They have a good size room, but with the captain's beds, it eliminates the need for dressers, giving them a little more space. Now I've gained another room on the second floor which will probably become the comic book/computer room.

The new beds meet the "jump" approval!

Gregory didn't get a new bed, but he got new mattresses. As long as he still gets the whole third floor - he doesn't care.

My Boys

My three boys! This was taken last Christmas. It is hard to get the three of them to sit still, together with all of them looking at the camera and smile. Someone is always moving or making faces! Gregory 12, Joseph 4 and Lucas 3.

The Start

Well, to blog or not to blog, that was my question. Being a full time working mother with three young boys (four including my husband!) I wasn't sure if I wanted to add one more thing on my list of "to dos". However I gave in and decided what the heck, when the kids are bigger I'll have this to look back onto. How often I update will be another dilema!
