Today’s Victory: 02/06/2012

4

Today’s Victory is brought to by Mr.  Emmett John. This afternoon,  Emmett and I spent some 1 on 1 time together while Gavin was at therapy and Elliott was at Grandma’s house.

Emmett and I were looking for a snack,  and, of course,  he found the cookie mix.

He just had to make cookies,  so we worked together and baked so double chocolate cookies for after dinner.

He did really well and More >

Chewing on the ceiling

We discovered a new problem this afternoon.  Well,  actually this has probably been going on a little while now and has only now come to our attention.

I was laying down in bed and little while ago and I heard a loud chewing sound,  coming from the ceiling.

Squirrels have chewed through the facia along the gutter line and entered the wall spaces.  They seem to be chewing their way in farther More >

Stealing from a special needs family: update 6

I spoke with the total loss department at State Farm this afternoon.  The only thing we don’t know for sure at this point is whether or not they will take into account all the repairs we had done this year.

I have all the paperwork and I will send it back on Monday.  They will then overnight the check.

I was also informed that they will be pulling the rental car on Wednesday of next week,  so More >

Precious moments

I’ll be honest,  I’m still feeling kinda crappy. That said,  I’m feeling much better than I was last night or this morning.

Anyway,  I was feeling well enough to snuggle with Mr.  Emmett John. He can be sorta wiggly,  so with something like the stomach flu,  that doesn’t always work out well.

However,  this afternoon Emmett snuggled with me on the couch and feel asleep.

I totally and More >

Investigating Gavin’s mysterious illness

2

We are at the pediatrician today to try and get a grip on what’s going on.  I’ve mentioned previously that we recently found out that Gavin is getting sick every day at school and is falling asleep on a daily basis,  even after he has 12+  hours of sleep the night before.

We are also going to have his. hearing tested because he always says that he can’t hear us when we call for him so we’re More >

Guess who’s running a fever…..again

1

Not that you going to need any extra guesses. However,  I’ll give you 3 guesses who is running a fever again.

Take your time..   Give up?  Emmett.

Emmett woke up from his nap this afternoon and his little cheeks are beet red.  I gave him some time to adjust to the temperature of the room after being under a blanket for a couple hours.

Nothing changed after an hour or so.  I took his temp and More >

Short but sweet

Emmett was to spend the night at Lizze’s parents tonight.  He went over early this afternoon. 

However,  we got a call around dinner time.  Apparently,  Emmett was asking to come home.  Lizze’s and I both spoke with him and tried to reassure him that he would have fun. 

Grandma and I agreed that she would call if he gets to upset.

Sure enough,  a bit later she called back.  I spoke with him More >

A candid moment with Emmett

This afternoon, Lizze had backed some biscuits for the boys. Emmett refers to them as cinnamon rolls for some reason. Apparently at some point, Emmett and Elliott had both left their biscuits -on the a plate- on Elliott’s bedroom floor and walked away.

Having found them unguarded, Maggie took advantage of the situation and gobbled them up.

Emmett was very mad. I got him on film, explaining -in More >

Monday’s Minutes

0

Today has been pretty crazy. I was on my own today because Lizze is in pretty rough shape today. 

My day began around 5 am with Emmett waking up.  After getting the other 2 boys up and dressed,  Emmett and I took them to school. 

I had to bribe Emmett with sausage from McDonalds in order to get his cooperation this morning but it was worth it because he actually ate it.  After that,  we had to More >
