What an adventure
So we spent the day with all kinds of families of kids with limb differences… My favorite quote of the day from Cam: “There’s all kinds of kids here with little arms!” Probably since we didn’t make a big deal about today’s event except that we told him we were going to something that was…

She suddenly loves dolls. It is so dang sweet. She's playing with dolls… Cam's taking a nap. It's good stuff.

We had a blast with Jordan and Cam's new friends. Now we're headed to see an old family friend. Two things are making this travel work: cheese puffs and a thing called a Snak Trap. It has made feeding the girl snacks go relatively easy. It's especially funny when she sticks the cup on her…

I had no idea we could find a 5 year old who is SO much like my boy. Cam had a ton of fun playing with a new friend. We are enjoying a day off from travel and hanging out with new friends.

Jordan is taking her second nap of the day in a very long multi-state drive. She's come across two challenges: not getting every toy she wants and not being able to pick up things she dropped to her left. Gross moment of the day: I gave her a chocolate chip granola bar. I look over…

No allergies! Jordan’s doctor emailed me and let me know that after the girl’s blood was tested for many, many allergens it appears that she doesn’t have any allergies. We can go back to feeding her normally again. But that still leaves the question: What is going on? Another good piece of news — The…

I watched an amazing thing happen yesterday. My daughter gorged on popcorn. She’s didn’t just eat a lot… She ate so much that I had to leave the movie to refill the popcorn tub. We took the family to see Ratatouille. It’s a really sweet movie… But I don’t really think it’s the kind of…

Today is Jordan’s last day in the baby side of her school… It has a separate entrance, key pad code… You have to take your shoes off to help keep the floors clean for the crawlers. On Monday, she moves to the other side of the building with the “big kids.” I’m thrilled for her……
