Not Me! Monday!

I really enjoy this post and find myself actually mentally filing away events that I can include! Here are this week's ahem not-confessions!

* I most definitely did not shamelessly bribe all three of my groups of kids with popsicles in exchange for their good behavior during Musical Theatre Club rehearsals and shows! It didn't work like a charm, either!

* While at a graduation party, Caleb didn't hold my hand with one hand while poking his finger in the graduation cake with the other!! I'm a much more attentive parent than that, so I wasn't looking at photo albums instead of doting on my 2 year old. Of course, I didn't immediately grab him and walk away very quickly, pretending like we didn't just taint a beautiful cake with the graduate's picture on it!

* Matt didn't decide to give Caleb his first real at-home hair cut, despite my strong objections. We didn't put him in the bath tub naked and attempt to hold him still. Caleb certainly didn't scream at all of the hair all over his body--definitely not screaming "There's hair on my penis!" over and over again! What's more, I didn't proceed to attempt to blow the hair off of his body...that would just be futile, since Matt is still cutting his hair at this point. This wasn't one of the funniest "Caleb Moments" we've had in a long time, and we certainly didn't have a good laugh at his expense!

I would love for some of my other blogging friends to join in sometime! Go here to read a whole bunch of Not Me! Monday! posts!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
