You Might be a Germaphobe if...

...someone sneezes behind you in church and you automatically get out your hand sanitizer to use.

...all that's running through your head as you're shaking 5th graders' hands at recognition is I can't wait to wash my hands!!!

...after said recognition, you refuse to touch any part of your body until your hands are thoroughly cleaned.

...your son has become the hand-washing police for visitors.

...everyone in your family is trained to wash his/her hands whenever entering the house.

...you go through a standard-sized bottle of hand sanitizer a week.

...you are kept awake at night at the thought of all of the germs floating around everywhere.

...the baby is carried in the Baby Bjorn solely because less people are likely to breathe on her.

...you cringe at the sight of students being required to get jackets from the lost-and-found if they don't have one at recess.

...you wipe down all hard surfaces in your daughter's living space with Lysol wipes...multiple times a day.

...you get frustrated with people who say, "I just washed my hands 10 minutes ago!" when they're about to touch your baby--as if no germs have gotten on their hands in the last 10 minutes.

...after touching raw chicken, you wash your hands 4 times--just in case--and then use Lysol wipes to wipe down all of the surfaces you may have accidentally touched.

...your kids know you so well that they buy you scented hand sanitizer, Lysol wipes, and antibacterial soap for end of the year gifts--and you're giddy over them!!

Others????  Please share!!! 

PS:  Of course, none of these are real-life examples.  In fact, this in no way describes me...

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
