This is what Harry and I do in the afternoon--snuggle into my unmade bed, watch a little Thomas the Train and finish off my cold coffee, always on the bedside table.
This is Brice the day after his sleep study. He fell asleep in the van on the way home from school at 4pm, moved to my bed at 5pm, his bed at 7pm, and slept until 6am. I guess he was tired.
Brice is having a time-out in the hallway. Scully watches from nearby.
Brice is studying spiders in preschool. He is describing to me how he wants me to draw the spider on his hand. He is also obsessed with Spiderman. A serendipitous intersection, for sure.
Sweet Harry and I chatting at the table. He often requests a kiss. How can I say no??
When Harry senses he is in trouble (he isn't in this shot) he tells me i'm beautiful. How do little boys learn these mad skills?
Happy Birthday to Seth. 37 on Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day, Harry!!
We had Brice's 5th birthday party at the Children's Museum. All the kids wore red, in honor of Spiderman.
Happy Birthday Brice!! How can you already be 5? How is it you're only 5?? It feels like you've been with us forever--we are so very blessed!
Make a wish, little man. The future is yours...

So sweet! :) I love it!
I am so glad about that sleep study, Danielle. I meant to comment on that earlier. It sounds like, in strange way, it's pretty good news!
Keep us updating on that! I'm so curious to know what will happen!
Poor little fella. Man. He just must be SO EXHAUSTED ALL THE TIME! Sounds just awful for him!
Robyn--I cried when the doctor told me he had sleep apnea--out of relief and joy!! He's a good kid--wants to do well--but he's always so tired and cranky. I have high hopes. Oh, and I ordered a "weighted blanket" for him, too. His teacher told me he is easy to calm if she hugs him tightly for a few seconds. So, I figured a weighted blanket could only do good. Fingers crossed! I used to resent having such a difficult child, and now I wonder--how are people ever perfected and grown in grace without the challenges of a challenging child? Isn't God good to us through our children??
I realize this has nothing to do with your tender and funny post about your adorably children, but...
Scully is HUGE! Wowee!
Love this post. Those two are getting so big!
ha! i love that he calls you beautiful when he thinks he's in trouble.
Hey…just saw this comment back to me.
I hear you! Yes! Man…my kids can be SO HARD…but it's so AMAZING too. Such a RICH, RICH experience parenting Special Needs kids. So, so beautiful. The highs and lows are intense…but I can't believe how much I've grown.
I wouldn't trade my wacky rascals for anything. :)
