Repetition…
85 months ago
I’ve only been up for a short time and already Gavin has managed to ask me the same question, over and over and over and over.
To his credit, at least he’s asking the same question in different ways.
Although, it doesn’t make it any easier to take. It’s like listening to a scratched record, repeating the same chorus, over and over.. It drives me to the brink of insanity.

Waiting made easier by Android
35 months ago
Elliott is a nervous wreck this morning. Nothing bad is going to happen, meaning no shots or bloodwork.
The only thing that has stopped the tears is NetFlix and our Android Tablet. He’s just chillin watching his favorite show and clinging to his new stickers as though it was for dear life.
I just wish he didn’t get so stressed out about going to the doctor’s.
Is your child a perfectionist?
25 months ago
I was wondering if your child is a perfectionist? We have struggles with this in the Lost and Tired household.
All three of my boys have a tendency to want things perfect. However, Gavin is an absolute perfectionist, at least most of the time.
Much of this stems from his abusive biological father. He used to tell Gavin things like “only losers make mistakes”. He had many more pearls of wisdom More >
Another Day Another Therapy
16 months ago
Gavin has PT this afternoon. Today has been exhausting and I have a massive headache. I wish we could just slow down a little bit, every once in awhile.
Tomorrow, Emmett has therapy in the afternoon. This week is a slow one for the Lost and Tired household because we only have 10 appointments so far.
It’s gonna be a very long week.

Gavin makes lunch
06 months ago
Gavin made his own lunch this afternoon. That didn’t go as smoothly as the dentist today but it was a good effort.
Here are the pictures of his creation. I put a couple views because you need to see the jelly from the side to get the full effect:-)
Nice job Gavin

Hell Freakin’ Yeah
36 months ago
Gavin’s appointment went off without a single hitch. This never and I literally means, never happens. Gavin did so amazingly well.
I can’t begin to explain just how proud of him I am. He was in and out in roughly 10 minutes.
The dentist said that Gavin could have a mild form of dentinogenesis imperfecta but the operative word is could. Gavin had no cavities but does need to brush better. More >
We have arrived at the dentist
06 months ago
We arrived to a rather unfriendly receptionist and the sound of screaming children. I’m doing ok so far but my stomach is trying to work it’s way into a giant knot. Gavin’s doing well and seems unconcerned about what he’s there for.
Also, I’m sitting next to a woman who has a tampon hanging out of her pocket. This is really awkward.

Not sure what to do
17 months ago
Elliott awoke, basically in a panic. He seemed like he was in pain but said he wasn’t. He was pretty incoherent, so I take what he said with a grain of salt.
I carried him downstairs to the couch to see if that would help. He’s all curled up and back to sleep now.
I wish I knew what was going on with him. He’s an emotional wreck darn near all the time. He’s having trouble listening at More >
The repetition is driving me crazy
47 months ago
Alright, I have to be real honest here. Gavin in is driving me insane. I have no idea what’s going on with him anymore. It could be outside of his control, in which case I feel even more guilty for not having more patience.
The problem is that he’s not listening….or at least not remembering.
Several times now, today alone, I have had to stop him from telling stories to Elliott. I can’t More >
