Emmy Lou: The Key to Sleep!

Today is one of those days when I wish I had ONE laptop that TOTALLY worked, instead of TWO laptops that have ISSUES! I have a story to tell, but it isn't nearly as great without pictures. I know I'll forget them if I wait to post the pics. I guess you'll have to wait on those until I get to Walmart.

Anyway, "Aunt" Jenn and Emma came over to play today. After lunch, the kids got swim suits on and headed out to the baby pool so that our bathing beauties could splash around. They had a great time playing! After Emma got tired, I put the edge of our little slide in the pool so that Caleb could slide down it into the pool. He LOVED it! (yes, all of this leads up to the funny story!)

We headed inside after a while and played some more until poor Emma was so tired she could hardly keep her eyes open! After they left, Caleb played a bit and then said he was hungry (4:30ish). He didn't have a nap today because he played all afternoon with Emma.

Just as I was putting dinner on the table, he had an accident. *sigh* I strip his clothes off, clean him up, and told him we'd get dressed after we ate. Well...

Halfway through dinner, Caleb laid face down on the bench at our table and promptly fell asleep...stark naked!! It was like immediate! I picked him up and carried him upstairs. While I was afraid that putting a Pull-up on him would wake him up, it didn't! He just curled right up in his bed. Poor guy...that little lady wore him out! :)

Like I said, it's much better with pictures. I'll post them eventually!

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
