Cake!

I found a book of recipe's for kids on a clearance rack..... Luke picked out a crazy crown cake for his first foray into baking in a few months. His friend Sammy was happy to join in, and Aaron actually managed to decorate his cake as well as eat the decorations.

Luke's poems

These were in Luke's folder yesterday:

tooth is loose
tooth is loose
I can't wait
for another loose tooth
(it's a little bit of wishful thinking here.....his teeth are solidly planted!)

Love Dog
Dog is fun
Dog is cool
Dog is fuzzy fun
Dog loves Tuesday
Garbage man comes
Dog hates bad guys
Stabs them dead
Dog is crazy fun
I love him

Gotta think this is about Charlie, but who knows!

Aaron has a stomach bug so we went to the doctor today. He's finally a little over 28 pounds, so he's about at the 5th percentile. I also had Dr. Haney fill out the paperwork for his referral to Green Hill for more occupational therapy.

I posted this a couple of days ago....

At bedtime Aaron was yelling, "STOP Luke!" over and over. I asked what he wanted Luke to stop doing and he said, "Sleeping!!" Kinda the point of bedtime?

Rich and I figured out that Luke was snoring...which makes a lot more sense!

No biting, but....

Today's report from daycare: "Lot's of spittig today at friends and on the flour. We used the toothbrush for awhile. It seemed to help some."

A friend of who teaches kids with severe disabilities reminded me that if we eliminate one behavior, we need a replacement behavior. This one is annoying and gross, but I'll ignore it for now and see if a brilliant replacement comes to mind.

Big questions a'comin.....

Luke asked me last night about the tampons he saw in the bathroom. After a quick flash of heebie-geebies, I gave him a 6-year old level, pretty clinical description of the menstrual cycles and why women have them. He told me, "You don't need those anymore so you can throw them away." Rich and I assume he meant that I'm not having more babies, but it's open to interpretation.

Rainy day, big umbrella
