<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Most of my friends and family know that I started Weight Watchers back on January 9th. I have been very open and upfront about my weight-loss journey, and have been posting weekly about my weigh-ins and how my journey is going so far. I used Instagram for a lot of my posts and then some are also forwarded to my FB so that non-Instagram friends on FB can still keep up.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I first started WW back in January, I wanted to set a healthy, achievable goal for my long-term health and happiness. I knew that if I set a goal for five pounds a MONTH, it would be something that I *should* be able to do, as long as I didn't cheat myself. When I sat down and planned out where that goal would take me, I figured out that if I lost five pounds a MONTH, by July 7th, 2018 I could reach my goal of losing 150 pounds and being at goal on Weight Watchers.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let me just say that knowing that you have 150 pounds to lose is hard to stomach. That's A LOT of weight for someone to lose, and it's the enormity of that amount that has always kept me from even trying to lose anything at all.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The best way I can express how it felt before starting WW, is to say it was like being trapped in a prison. I pretty much felt like it was hopeless to think of losing the amount of weight that I needed to lose, and I just have ZERO desire to do any sort of surgery to lose weight... so pretty much, I felt like there were no options. It's a terrible feeling to know that you need to do something about your health, and yet, you just don't know where to start.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So many times I would pray that God would help me lose weight. I never gave up on asking for help and He never seemed to be answering. However, I know that it wasn't that He wasn't answering my prayer, it was that I was not ready for the answer. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When we were in North Carolina for New Year's this past year, I stood on the balcony and looked at the ocean and was thinking about the fact that I am going to be 40 this year. I am not one to care much about age and birthdays, but being 40 is something that is hard to take (for whatever reason). So I was thinking about my birthday and I heard this voice in my head say, "You need to join Weight Watchers." I had this sense of peace come over me, and I just felt like it was time.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I won't say that the last almost 26 weeks has been easy, because it hasn't been, but it hasn't been nearly as difficult as I expected it to be. I have had 26 straight weigh-ins with a loss and it just keeps adding fuel to my determination that I WILL be able to do this long-term and I WILL reach my goal of weighing 150.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I calculated my five pounds a month, I wanted to reach my 50 pounds down by my 40th birthday (October). My best friend had joined with me and we decided that we each wanted to lose at least 50 pounds by the time we went on our annual girls trip to Florida, in November.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This past Saturday, I reached my 50 pounds lost goal. </span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At my meeting, my leader always starts with smallest losses and builds up to the biggest losses and this week when she got to me, she made everyone do a drum-roll and then she announced my 50 pounds and everyone went crazy with cheering and clapping. It felt amazing to be celebrated and I got a little emotional about it.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've learned that this truly is a journey and while I haven't had any gains (YET) they are sure to come and I need to just keep going and stay on my path to sustainable weight-loss. I know that Weight Watchers works and if you follow the program, there will be so many benefits.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Over the course of the last almost 26 months, I have earned the following "bling" for my achievements:</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I feel amazing. My back doesn't hurt anymore, my knees don't hurt, my arches in my feet don't ache like they used to, when I go to bed, I don't have RLS (restless leg syndrome) and I fall asleep almost immediately. I drink 100+ ounces of water a day and eat more fruits and vegetables that I ever have in my life.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Probably TMI, but my periods are starting to become more regular and to me, it's a HUGE deal. I just feel like what I am doing is now just part of who I am. I do have some days where I miss being able to just go and eat whatever the heck I want, but those days are (thankfully) few and far between. When I do have bad days where I want to eat everything in sight, I have been able to find something else to keep me busy and get my mind off food.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I wish I had started taking my measurements back when I started in January, but I didn't start until May. However... here are my changes from May 1st, June 1st and then July 1st:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">May 1st:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bicep- 19" Chest- 48.5" Waist- 45/5" Butt- 55.5" Thigh- 33" Calf- 20"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">June 1st:</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">July 1st:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bicep- 16.5" Chest- 46" Waist- 44.5" Butt- 53" Thigh- 29.5" Calf- 16.5"</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My new goal is to try to reach my 75 pounds lost mark by Halloween and my 100 pounds lost mark by my 1 year anniversary on Weight Watchers.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am so behind with blogging! So sorry to all those that check in to see if I've posted and then see nothing for weeks on end. Life just gets ahead of me and I don't think about blogging until it's way too late at night to start something. Anyway... we recently celebrated our 5th Adoption Day as a family!!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For those of you not sure of the story, Gus-Gus's adoption was finalized on April 15th, 2011. He was just shy of turning one when we made the trek to Michigan for his court date. It was a quick weekend deal, and we were there and gone in a matter of three days, but it was extraordinary because when we arrived back home, he was legally our son and the adoption process was FINALLY over.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In 2012, we matched with Hewy's birth mom and then he was born at the end of the year. When it came time to finalize his adoption, our attorney called us and said, April 15th, 2013 will be your court date. We couldn't believe it. How amazing to have the same day as our Adoption Day!! To celebrate our first Adoption Day as a family of four, we had family pictures taken by Jeff Roffman. Our session was a quick one, but the results were stunning. </span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hugh has never passed a hearing test. NEVER. Not even as a newborn. When he was born, he failed the first test and then they kept him an extra day to check again, and he didn't pass that one either. They recommended we come back in three weeks to have his hearing tested again, but we were going to be back in GA, so we said we'd follow up with our pediatrician here.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">At the one-month check, his pediatrician asked if we were concerned, and we were not. She said it was a probably a good idea to schedule something just so we'd know that his hearing was okay. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When I called CHOA (Children's Healthcare of Atlanta), they said that he'd need a <a href="http://www.fauquierent.net/audioabr.htm" target="_blank">non-sedated ABR</a>. We went ahead and scheduled it and then we were informed that because he was under four-months, they had specific requirements for the day before/of surgery. 1) He was to be kept awake for as long as possible, and he would be over-tired. 2) We were to not feed him for 12 hours before the surgery. They said this would help with the test because he'd be so tired and hungry, that when he was finally able to eat, he'd go right to sleep and that'd help them do the test.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was not comfortable with this level of distress that I honestly felt was unnecessary, so we opted to delay the test. Fast-forward to November 2015.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hugh's transition meeting from Babies Can't Wait to Fulton County Schools. They asked if we had records of a positive hearing test and we didn't. They said they couldn't close his case without one, so we were told to go to Hembry Springs Elementary (same place we went with Gus when he was transitioning out of BCW and into FC). We weren't going to go, but they were adamant about him needing the positive test. So, I went ahead and scheduled it.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When I took him to the school in November (it was two weeks before Thanksgiving Break)... he failed that test. In fact, she gave two because she was surprised by the results. She said because he failed, he'd need to be seen by an ENT to check his ears more closely. OY.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Talk about being in shock. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So I called the recommended ENT and made an appointment for that Friday (just two days later). When he went in, he saw the audiologist (not the ENT) and he failed their three tests. They said he had a lot of pressure and fluid and wanted him to see the ENT. We came back to see him the following week.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Because we had not had any issues prior to that point, we didn't have a starting point and Dr. Bauer wanted to have a starting place to look and see how it progressed over time. We scheduled an appointment for January and we were told that in the time between, if he had any ear infections, to keep track of them. (He had one)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When we went in January, they did another exam and found that everything was worse and they decided that surgery was needed. So we scheduled his surgery for this past Wednesday.</span></span></span><br />

He *COULD* hear, but the quality of his hearing was not good. Hopefully when we go back, we'll learn that his hearing is on-par and all is well!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you're someone that knows me IRL, you probably already know that I joined Weight Watchers last Saturday (January 9th). It's a day that I will remember, as it's the beginning of this journey that I am taking to get healthy, lose weight, and allow the new me to blossom and grow.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've tried WW before and just didn't really have the drive, motivation, and determination to stick to it. This time is different. This time, I feel like it's just something that NEEDS to happen and I know WW is a proven system that's healthy and DOES work. I know I didn't gain weight over night, and it's going to take a long time to lose it, but I am determined to keep chugging along until I'm healthy.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know what it's like to be with someone that treats me terribly and takes advantage of me. I endured a life-changing divorce and came out of it a survivor who was stronger, but also knew exactly what I wanted. When I met Steve and realized he WAS the ONE, I didn't want to do anything that could jeopardize the relationship.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He loves me for me, inside and out, and I am so very blessed to have him in my life. He makes me laugh, and brings out the best in me (not many people can say this about their spouse if they're being honest). I NEED to be around as long as possible, so I can spend as much time with him as I can.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And don't even get me started on my two sweet pumpkin pies. They are my world and I am their world, and they deserve to have a mom that's healthy, happy, and around as long as possible. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So when I think about why I want to do this, it's them. THEY are my reason. Steve, Gus and Hugh are the reason I am changing my life and starting this journey.</span></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So let me tell you about my first week on WW. First, the entire program has changed. It's no longer the Points-Plus program, now it's Beyond the Scale and they use Smart Points (or SP as I tag things on my Instagram). Foods that are lower in fat/sat fat, calories, and sugar are going to be lower points, and foods that are higher in protein are also lower in points. You can imagine, the opposite holds true... sugary foods, fatty foods, and high-calorie foods are a lot more points on the SP program. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I decided to sign up and I asked a few friends if they wanted to join too. My best friend, Britt said she was going to do it too, and so we went to our first meeting last week. After talking to her, I decided I wanted to join the YMCA so I could exercise. Not only can I use it, but the boys can swim year-round and I put Gus in a youth yoga class that meets every Monday. :-) He loves it.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Steve and I went grocery shopping and I am SO thankful that he's supporting me through all this. He's eating healthier too and we're both going to benefit from me doing WW. We got a ton of great food, and filled the fridge with fruits and veggies galore. Honestly, more veggies than I've bought in a LONG time.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I went on Pinterest and found some recipes to try and that's what we did this past week. We are only eating out on Saturdays (my weigh-in day). Let me say this is helping more than anything!! I was eating fast food 4x a week and we'd order pizza or Chinese or carryout... it was not healthy living at all. I haven't had fast-food in over a week... and haven't had sweets in over a week. No regular soda either. I've been drinking a LOT of water... like all I drink is water, and then I allow myself ONE Mello Yello Zero or Fresca each day (both have 0 points).</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm relearning how to think about food and see it more as fuel for my body, than something to put in my mouth when bored. I'm quite proud of myself. :-)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I spend the week "tracking" (logging everything put into my mouth) and stayed within my points for the week. I didn't touch my weekly points and didn't use any of my Fit Points... and when I went yesterday for my weigh-in, I was met with an awesome 5.2 loss. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know not every week will be as wonderful as this last week was, but it was awesome and felt fantastic to see results for my determination.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've been posting pictures of each meal on Instagram and then allowing it to go to FB. My friends and family on FB have overwhelmed me with support and love. I've been getting messages from a ton of people either asking me about the program, or just telling me they're rooting for me and so proud of me. It means more than I can even express. There's something to be said for people supporting you while on a weight-loss journey and I know I CAN and WILL do it... one week at a time.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's funny how things pop up out of no where, but are exactly what you're meant to do/experience. </span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As you might recall, Gus (and Hugh) played soccer this past spring. He was eager to play, but didn't quite understand the rules of the game and would throw a tantrum each time someone took the ball from him. He's got natural skills, but when it comes to applying those skills in a game setting, he was not able to do that.</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I had thought about signing him up for tee-ball or baseball, but a friend told me that it's super hard for some kids to stand in the field and wait until a ball comes their way. The thought of Gus being bored, led me to think he's not ready for baseball or tee-ball this year.</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, we had no intentions of starting any fall sports with him. We had been on a break from karate and were ready to head back, and didn't want to have anything extra on his plate, as now that he's in kindergarten, there's homework and more expectations.</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He brought home an info sheet from school at the end of August. The sheet was from the <a href="http://nmml.net/home.html" target="_blank">North Metro Miracle League</a> and said they do baseball/softball/tee-ball for kids in kindergarten up to adults. The NMML is a group for special needs kids and adults and they provide a safe environment for special needs kids to play and learn the rules of baseball.</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The fall league would be starting in September and it was $45 for him to play and would include a shirt and hat. I emailed the man in charge and he replied back and asked me to call him. So I did, and he asked a little about Gus. I was mainly concerned that Gus wasn't "special" enough to qualify for their league, but the man (John) reassured me that they're all very well aware that special needs kiddos all look and act differently. He said with Gus's IEP and having SPD, he'd more than qualify to participate and he said he'd love to have Gus join.</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I honestly cannot put to words how the phone call made me feel. When I hung up, John said, "Welcome to the family!" It was such a kind thing to say, and it made me feel so hopeful and excited for Gus. Each player is assigned a buddy and that person is on the field with them and helps them with batting and fielding. The buddies are volunteers and some are retired military, some are retired athletes, and some are teens and college students.</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We had his orientation at the beginning of the month and he got his shirt and hat, and then last week, we had his first game. I'm not going to lie, I totally cried. There were cheerleaders that were cheering for the kids, and to see the kids out there playing and just having a great time, was truly magical.</span></span></b></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We feel so blessed to have found the NMML. I can't express how amazing everyone is. There are kids of all ability levels out there playing, and the coaches and volunteers go above and beyond to include everyone, and to make everyone have a great time. It truly warms my heart to be around such a caring group of people.</span></span></b></span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Gus is so lucky to be able to be around kids of all abilities and to see past a wheelchair, or to see that someone is worth more than an outward appearance might suggest. While it's been challenging at times for me to accept that he does have special needs, it's more important that he is getting his needs met, and he's happy and successful. I'm learning more from him than I ever thought possible.</span></span></b></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">On Wednesday, August 26th, my friend Leslie sent me a text that said, "Call me when you get this." I had not heard from her in a while, so I was immediately curious. When I talked to her, she said, "I'm sure you heard already, but I put in my two weeks." (She told them on Monday the 24th.)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">{Back Story-- About this time (maybe October/November) last year, Steve was on the HR Committee at church and was asked to help them find/hire a Communications Director. Leslie was in my MOMS Club chapter and I immediately thought of her for the job, and told her to apply. She did, and she was hired.}</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So she and I chatted for a few minutes and she said, "Anyway, I was calling because when I told them I needed to resign, they asked if I knew anyone that would be able to do this job well, and you were the first person I thought of." </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />I was floored.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When Steve was helping with interviews, he was on the front-end with screening applicants. He received a lot of applications and did quite a few phone screens, and all the people had Communications degrees, and/or Graphic Design backgrounds. They all had outstanding portfolios and resumes, and I remember thinking about how good they all were. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I told her that I didn't feel qualified at all, and she started telling me about the job and what she does and why she felt I'd be the perfect fit. She basically said that it's a lot of what I already do for MOMS Club, but I'd be getting paid for my work and time. :-)</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">She said, "So, can I tell them that I think you'd be a great fit?" I told her sure-- I had nothing to lose by her telling them about me!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When Steve got home that night, I told her about the call and he was totally in favor of me applying. He helped me with my resume and letter, and I sent it in that night.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">On Thursday, I was at Publix for a grocery store tour and my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, but assumed it was Gus's school. It was actually Max and Lyle from CtK, and they were calling me to say that they received my resume and letter.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">They said they were VERY impressed by my resume and wanted to know if I could come in the next day to talk to them about the position. They said Leslie put in a great word for me, and they were very eager to talk to me. I said I'd be there, and hung up and did a happy dance.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I went in on Friday morning, and the conversation was about my experience with social media, graphic design, and various communication methods. They seemed impressed that I knew Publisher, Photo Shop, and a variety of other programs. At the end of the meeting, they said they'd be talking with the pastor and would be giving me a favorable recommendation. They said to be on the look out for an email to set up a virtual meeting with him over the weekend.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That afternoon, I got an email asking if I could do a virtual meeting on Saturday morning.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Saturday morning at 10am, I had a video conference with my pastor and the meeting was great, super easy, and at the end of the meeting, I was told he'd be recommending that I be hired to the Parish Council, and he asked if I could come in on Monday to start.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Seriously, in a period of six days, my life completely changed. I am now the Communications Coordinator for my church!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thankfully, Steve has a pretty accommodating job, and he was able to stay home with Hugh while I went to work on Monday. Hugh didn't start preschool until September 8th, so that first week that I was working, he was home with me.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Between Steve staying home, my best friend watching Hugh, and Zip and Pep (a drop-in place for babysitting), I was able to get to work and have time to focus on all that needed to be learned, and not have to worry about Hewy.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Let me just say that it's super stressful to start a new job!! I had not been working since 2010, and while it's not that much time, it was enough that it stressed me out. I will say that I love my job. It's everything that I enjoy doing already, and I get paid to do it. :-)</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I worked along side Leslie for her last week in the office, and was able to get as much info from her as possible. Thankfully, she and I are friends and I know I can text or call her at any time for help and she'll do what she can to help me out. (I have already had to call her a few times.)</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was off on Labor Day, and then Hugh's first day was the 8th. He came to work with Steve and was able to hang out in my office while we waited to go to preschool. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He comes with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays and plays in my office before school or after school. He was slated to go to school there anyway, so now I'm just staying there and working while he's in school. It's so nice, because I'm right there if he ever needs me for anything, and we signed him up for extended day on Tuesdays (he'll stay an extra hour) and he's doing Play Ball on Thursdays (it's a sports program that takes place after school). </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We got up Friday morning had knew we had a busy day ahead of us. We were going to head to New Paris (where Steve is from) and visit with his grandparents, then swing by the cemetery to pay our respects to his mom, then go by his old house where he grew up. While out and about <strike>we </strike>I requested Pizza King again for lunch (I know... but it's SOOOOO good)!!! After lunch we were going back to the farm for a bbq with Sue Ann's family and friends and Steve's Uncle Stan and his daughter.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was such a great day.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We started off by visiting Steve's Grandma Scott.

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We said goodbye and then headed to the cemetery to visit Steve's mom's grave. It's never easy to go there and we both cry each time. It's sad that she was taken from him so young, and Steve wishes that she could have lived long enough to see him as a dad. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We got to the grave and Gus wanted to know what daddy was doing, so he and I went out and stood with Steve. He was confused about where we were, and so Steve told him that we were visiting where his mama is buried. You could see the sadness in Gus's face when he realized that Steve's mama was not living anymore. He's mentioned that "Daddy's mama is in heaven" a few times since going to her grave.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We were hungry, so we headed to a different Pizza King. This one is the "fancy" one and it's called Clara's. When I was at MSU, there was a place in East Lansing called Clara's and I swear the two are related. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I know why people call it the fancy Pizza King... the menu has more to offer AND there's a double decker bus INSIDE the restaurant that you can sit in while you eat!!! FOR REAL!!!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After our incredible lunch (goodness was it ever good)... we headed back to the farm. On the way, we stopped at some railroad tracks so I could take some pictures of the boys. It had started raining, so I couldn't get pictures that I was hoping for, but they are cute.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After playing games and checking out the different vehicles, we decided to head over to where the train was. Gus and Hugh LOVE trains, so it was exciting to see their faces when standing next to such a LARGE train!! They got to go in and sit in the conductor's seat, and we got to explore all the cars. We had a very special treat when we got to the end of the train!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thomas's face was covered (he comes to that station for Day Out With Thomas) but it was obviously him. Gus and Hugh were so excited to climb up and explore his cabin!! We've never been to the Day Out with Thomas event, so I don't know how much exploring you get to do, but it was such a treat to see him and have no one else be around us!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After seeing Thomas, we headed inside the depot and did some shopping. Grandpa bought each boy a train and then Steve and I also got them a train, so they each had two. :-)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We noticed that the train was coming back... and when we went to watch it go by, we saw that Thomas was no longer attached!! I'm so glad we were able to see him before he left the station!! There were so many kids at this event and I bet none of them realized who was parked so close and they all missed him!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We headed out on Wednesday and stopped at Wal-Mart and Meijer to see about getting some Tigers gear for the boys before heading out of town. We had hoped to get a hat for Hugh, but couldn't find anything there. We were able to get a few shirts for the boys and for Steve.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The visit was on the short side, because we had a bit of a drive ahead of us as we were headed to Indiana to spend the remainder of our trip with Steve's side of our family.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We found out that Steve's dad would not be home when we got there, and would not be home until later than we'd be up, so we stopped at <a href="http://www.pizzakingindiana.com/" target="_blank">Pizza King</a> for dinner and then headed to the farm.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let me tell you... I love all kinds of different styles of pizza. I like Brooklyn, Chicago, Detroit, and now have a new favorite that is only found in Indiana... Pizza King.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For the longest time, Steve has talked about Pizza King and that it was where all the kids hung out after school when he was in high school. I wasn't sure about how I would like it, but holy smokes... it was soooooo good!!! I mean, we had JUST had Buddy's the night before, and had Hungry Howie's not too many days before that. I was kinda over pizza (or so I thought). </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We decided that we'd celebrate our 9th anniversary once we returned home, but for our actual anniversary date, going to Pizza King with my three favorite humans was pretty awesome. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After we had dinner at Buddy's, we headed back to our hotel and everyone went swimming one last time together.

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Steve enjoyed jumping in and making as big a splash as possible and getting everyone soaked each time he cannonballed. :D</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This was the best visit home that I've ever had. It was just so nice to spend time with my family and really awesome to watch my kids playing with their Michigan cousins. I didn't get to spend as much time with my parents, and for that I'm sad, but overall it was a wonderful trip in Michigan!!</span></span></span>Cat's Litterboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15383480756748575738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15765605.post-55690703102452700082015-08-12T10:10:00.000-04:002015-08-12T22:58:30.206-04:00Michigan :: Day 5 :: Dinner at Buddy's<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Whenever we go home, we have a few places that we like to go because we can't get it here in Georgia. Our favorites include, Mickey's/Dairy Dan, Ram's Horn, Big Boy (Steve HATES Big Boy but I love it), Olga's, Pizza Papilis, Mongolian BBQ, and Buddy's Pizza. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When Gus was Baptized, we had his luncheon at Buddy's after, and have always made it a priority to get to Buddy's at least once each time we are in the Mitten.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After we left the island, we met Scott's family and my parents at Buddy's for dinner. We had to leave Wednesday morning, so we knew this would be our last dinner together and our last time to eat at Buddy's. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When we got back to the hotel on Sunday night, we learned that Gus's iPad Mini would not come on. We had accidentally placed the Rainforest Cafe bottle with water inside, in the same bag as the Mini, and the condensation from the bottle, somehow got on the iPad and fried it.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So Steve called around and was able to get us an appointment at this local place that fixes computers and iPads/Phones. We dropped off the Mini with the hopes that they'd be able to fix it for us, and then we met my mom and dad at Mongolian BBQ for lunch.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gus was ecstatic to see that they had crawdads out and you could add them to your bowl to be cooked. We had already ordered their lunch, but I wanted Gus to have a chance to try one, so I let him come with me to fill my bowl and he picked out the biggest crawdad that he could find.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He's been OBSESSED with a show on YouTube called <a href="http://theaxelshow.com/" target="_blank">The Axel Show</a>. On one of the episodes, Axel and his dad go camping and search for crawdads and then cook them in the fire and eat them. Gus had been saying he wanted to find crawdads and cook them for dinner for over a month before our trip. He was excited to try a crawdad and be like Axel!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After lunch, we went shopping and then drove by our old house in Canton. We got a call from the repair shop that the iPad was not able to be fixed, but they recommended that we take it to the Apple store.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I guess I'm spoiled by living here in GA. We have so many Apple stores around us that I don't give much thought to them. In Michigan, they are only inside malls, and there are only three that are anywhere near where we were staying. So we had to drive out to Novi to see if we could get it repaired.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here, you can pretty much just stop into any Apple store without an appointment and not have much of a wait. Not the case in Michigan. I don't know if it's because there aren't a bunch there, or if it was because it was after a holiday, but there was a three hour wait for those without appointments, and they weren't taking appointments until WEDNESDAY.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Steve waited in line to get that info while I took Gus and Hugh to the soft play area.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The boys had a great time and I liked not having to deal with them while waiting in line with Steve at the Apple store. I got a text from Steve saying that it'd be three hours before we could be seen, and unfortunately, we didn't have three extra hours to waste. We decided to try another day, and headed to my SIL's house for dinner.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My SIL makes the most includible mashed potatoes and beer steak that I've ever had in my life. I can't even describe it, but it's my favorite meal. She made dinner for us while the kids watched Home. It was a nice visit and it was so great to spend time with my family.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We were excited to head to Chuck E Cheese's to meet up with Gus's birth father, Hunter, and his family. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We met them at a different CEC, and it was more in the middle for us both, as opposed to the one that's much closer to us. I prefer the other one, but it was nice to be able to see a different CEC. :-)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gus really enjoyed his time with Hunter, Hunter's mom and dad, and then his Aunt Danielle and Aunt Leah and their boyfriends. He was able to meet his new cousin, Jayce too.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> We decided to start our Sunday off by heading to Great Lakes Crossing to meet my cousin Jessica and her daughter for lunch. I knew there was a Rainforest Cafe there and thought the boys would absolutely love it (I was right).</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We met up at 11am (right when they opened) and had the most wonderful lunch with Jess and B. B had friends that were moving and Jess had them with her, and the kiddos all had a great time checking out the different parts of the restaurant. Hugh was not too sure about it, but Gus loved it.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The food was awesome and it was just so wonderful to sit and chat with Jessica and hear about how she and her family is doing, and to hear about her sisters and how they're doing. Like I said in a previous post, when we were growing up, we saw our cousins all the time and it's nice to see them when I can. </span></span></span><br />

I miss her so much!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you've never been to a Rainforest Cafe and find yourself near one, you should totally go. It's such a fun experience and the kids will love the thunderstorm that happens every 30 minutes or so. We definitely plan on going back the next time we are in Michigan!!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="goog_208032913">The reason we went north for vacation this summer was to see family. It's so hard to live so far away from everyone, and we just don't have the ability to go home every summer like we used to. Not only is it hard to physically get there (hours in the car with two small kiddos), but it's expensive too. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="goog_208032913">We decided to head north and I was most excited to see my parents and my twin brother and his family. I miss the fact that my kids are not being raised with their cousins as an active part of their lives. When I was growing up, my cousins and I were as close as siblings, and we saw each other weekly.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="goog_208032913">Gus and Hugh were super excited to see their Michigan cousins, and they all had a blast together on the Fourth of July. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="goog_208032913">My brother had a BBQ and invited my parents, his in-laws and their kids, and we were there as well. I have to say, spending time with my brother and his family was so needed. I feel like every time we go north, I never get to spend good time with him and I've missed him dearly.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's only natural for the little cousins to form idol-worship in the biggest cousins. Hugh fell in love with my oldest nephew, Alex. Alex is so good with little kids (he's got three little sisters that keep him busy) and was so great with Hugh. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We decided to take a trip north for the summer since it had been almost two years since we had been "home." We set out on Friday, July 3rd and had a great drive without any issues. The boys were entertained for five straight hours before needing us to turn on a movie. :-)</span></span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We're Potty Training! </span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Prior to yesterday, Hugh had been completely uninterested in the potty. He would sit on it (clothes on) every now and then, but wouldn't sit with clothes off, and if you asked him if he wanted to go potty, he'd say no.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm not sure what happened to cause the readiness, but out of nowhere, when we got home from the splash pad yesterday, I asked him if he wanted to go pee pee on the potty, as I was taking his wet swim clothes off him. He said yes, and sat right on the potty. He didn't go right away, so I left him sitting there while I gathered up wet clothes and towels. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">All of a sudden, Gus started shouting, "He's going pee pee!" and when I came to look, sure enough, there was pee pee in the little potty! I was SO EXCITED!!! Of course, Gus and I made a HUGE deal out of it and we were screaming, clapping, hooting, and hollerin' and Hugh was just beaming with pride.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To make it even sweeter, before he went to bed last night, he went pee pee on the potty so Steve could see it. He went again tonight before bed and I am so proud of him. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I know it's not a guarantee that he's ready for full-on training, it's definitely good stuff. He'll be going to Tu/Th preschool starting in September and we've got pullups for him to wear to school. I know when he sees other kids going, he'll just be even more interested and willing to go. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's bittersweet. Don't get me wrong, I'm ready to be done with diapers... but it makes me a little sad to know he's growing up and already starting to do big stuff like this. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The last day of GA PreK arrived on Friday, May 22nd and we were all kinds of excited! While we were sad to say goodbye to the friends made at Medlock Bridge, we were so ready to stop waking up at 5:40am M-F to get on a bus at 6:15am. I'm sorry, but it made for a really LONG school year.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gus still had a bit of a baby-face at the start of the year, but by May 22nd, that baby look was gone. It's sad so see the passing of this phase, but exciting at the same time to start the next phase :: The Elementary Years.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm excited for Gus to experience all the wonderful things that come with attending school. He thrives on order and routine, and school is perfect for that. He loves being around other kids and feeling important, and he'll have that. Most importantly, he needs his sensory needs met, and when he returns to kindergarten in the fall, he'll have plenty of time to have all his sensory needs met. It's going to be great for him.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This year has been full of tremendous growth for Gus. Academically, he's on the advanced side of things and has recently begun reading sight words. While in school, he was one of five kids in the only reading group in his class, and he was doing really well. He loves books, words, and reading.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">His favorite subjects are science, reading, and math-- though to be honest, he really loves all subjects. He has a natural love for learning and I'm praying that it continues.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I know that preschool, kindergarten, and first grade are the CRITICAL years for developing a love for school and learning. If a child has a negative experience during these three years, it sets the tone for the future, and there's nothing more difficult to process than a child that hates school. We're hoping that he gets a phenomenal teacher for kindergarten and that his first grade year is met with nothing but happiness, growth, and success. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We've already started preparing for kindergaten and have been reading lots of books with a kindergarten theme. We recently bought his backpack (on clearance from REI and it's awesome). We per-ordered a Paw Patrol lunch box and are eager for it to ship. I've started buying back to school clothing (I've got his first day of school outfit bought and his shirt and tie for fall pictures). Needless to say, he's really excited for kindergarten. :-)</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Next we need to start focusing on Hugh and his first day, but he doesn't start until September (he starts Tu/Th preschool on the Tuesday after Labor Day). Gus starts kindergarten on August 10th.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm hoping to post more this summer-- please forgive the lapse in time!!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">They say the days are long, but the years are short and it's so true. How we have a five-year-old already is beyond me. I can still vividly remember the night that Gus was born and all the details that follow. I wish someone would invent something to freeze time already, because Gus turning five about did me in. I can't even think about birthdays beyond this one, as they're going to just get more and more difficult to deal with.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before I share the amazing things that we did to celebrate this special milestone birthday (no longer a baby, toddler, or preschooler... now officially considered a big kid "GASP"), I want to tell you about my sweet little Gus-Gus.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">First, he'd be very upset if he knew I was calling him little. He's very adamant about the fact that he is NOT LITTLE. Preach it, Gus. He is anything but little in size. While we won't have an exact measurement until a month from now (when he and Hugh go for their well visits), at the last appointment, he was just at 50 pounds and was 48 inches tall. He's wearing a size 13 shoe, size 7 pants/jeans and has moved into a 6/7 for shirts. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gus is such a helpful boy. He really thrives on helping others and if he's asked to do something that will benefit someone else, he eagerly jumps up to help them. He likes having important duties (he wants to be a line leader when he grows up), and does best when someone makes him feel like he's got a job to do. He's a hard worker and doesn't give up until the job/task is complete.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He <strike>loves</strike> THRIVES on routines and structure. The more he knows what to expect, the better. However, the first time introducing him to something better be exactly the way you want it to be forever, because it becomes THE way to do something. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gus loves Hugh and enjoys being around him. They are the best of friends and laugh together, and just as quickly the tides turn and they are fighting and screaming at each other. It's funny to watch them interact, and as Hugh is getting older, he's starting to do everything that he sees his big brother do. It's super cute.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gus is doing so well in school. He loves math, counting, patterns, 2D and 3D shapes, but he loves reading the most. He was in the only reading group in his class and they were reading a lot of little sight word books. I bought a program called "<a href="effective:%20%20%20Number%20of%20members:%20%20Starting%20Balance:%20%20%20Deposits:%20%20Withdrawals:%20%20Ending%20Balance:" target="_blank">The Reading Game</a>" (I'll blog about it later) and he's been reading sight words, story cards, and their special books. I think he knows 26 words already and we just got started!!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gus loves trains. He also loves bubbles and is starting to get into Legos. The sad words, "That's a toy for Hugh" has been said about some of his old favorites, just one more reminder that he's not a baby anymore. It hurts my heart at times, but I know it's part of life. I'd rather him be growing and developing according to plan, than be delayed and super immature.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gus has started to take an interest in hearing "The Story of Gus." Every night, after his story (we've discovered Magic Tree House books and Gus loves hearing about Jack and Annie's adventures), he asks me to rock him and tell him "his story." It varies in how much detail goes into the tale each night, but he has his favorite parts:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1) When we got the call from Sharon we were just about to head into the baseball game</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2) When I got the text from Peggi saying it wouldn't be long... and then the next text was a picture of him. He likes that I cried and woke Steve up to see the picture</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">3) He loves hearing that he had red hair as a baby :-)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">4) When we parked at the hospital and I thought I was going to throw up because I was so nervous to meet him, Claire, and Peggi</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">5) When we walked into the room and Grammy (Peggi) handed him to me and said, "Here's your baby."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He loves to hear his story and we talk about his adoption, his birth family, and how much he's loved by everyone. He knows that he grew inside Claire for nine months and she brought him into this world. :-)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Okay... so back to celebrating five years of amazingness. I took some pictures to celebrate his fifth birthday. I think they turned out really great.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After school was done, he came home and we had a little surprise for him. On a total whim, my best friend Brittany threw together an impromptu pool party for Gus's birthday. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We got to Britt's pool and were met by my friend Stephanie and her two girls, my friend Heather and her two boys, and then my friend Krystal and her two girls. All of the kiddos are good friends and they were all so excited to celebrate Gus's birthday. Heather brought cupcakes and drinks and we ordered pizza for dinner.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was such a wonderful way to celebrate his birthday. He was overjoyed with being at the pool with all his friends, and I was overwhelmed by the love and support shown by my friends. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Steve was able to come by after work and Britt's husband came to the pool after he got home from work. It was so wonderful.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As if the pool party wasn't enough, we actually had a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's for Gus. He said he wanted to go there, so we made it happen. It's probably the last big birthday he'll have (next year, we'll probably just do something like the pool party), and he specifically asked for the friends that he invited to come.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">His party was great. He was surrounded by people that love him and think he's the coolest cat in town. He smiled the whole morning and said it was the best birthday he's ever had. :-)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have discovered that there are six magic words that you can say to your picky eater to help with dinner stress. Seriously.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Gus is a VERY picky eater and usually when it's time for dinner, he picks from a limited selection of: hotdogs, eggs, waffles/pancakes, mac-n-cheese, or a quesadilla. If we're having pizza for dinner, he'll usually eat the bread, but doesn't actually like the pizza. I've recently discovered that he WILL eat pizza if there's no optional bread to dissuade him.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So what are these six magic words? Repeat after me:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">YOU</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">DON'T</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">HAVE</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">TO</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">EAT</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">IT</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Really. It's that simple.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So how does this phrase work? I thought you'd never ask. :-)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I cook whatever I know Steve and I want for dinner. I make one dinner and I put a portion on a plate for Gus. We sit down to eat dinner, and he's got on his plate the same thing that Steve and I have on ours. He typically says, "I don't want that." or "I'm not eating that, it's yucky!" And trust me, he puts his little foot down and throws a tantrum about dinner.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In the past, I'd just make him something that I knew he'd eat, and I'd say I was choosing my battle. That was fine and dandy, but then I realized I don't want a picky eater at five to be a still picky eater at 10 and even pickier eater at 15. The only way to stop the continuation was to just put an end to the options.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When dinner is placed on the table, the fridge lock (for babyproofing) goes on the fridge door. Gus cannot open it. The pantry already has a lock, so he can't get into that either. He's told, "You don't have to eat it..." and he usually continues with his ranting about not eating his dinner.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We don't fight or argue, or raise our voices. We simply repeat, "you don't have to eat it." Then we add the part that makes this so perfect. We say, "You don't have to eat it, but that's what's for dinner, and that's all that you're getting tonight."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He's then told that there will be nothing else to eat and he'll go to bed hungry. He's given until 6:30 (his bedtime) to choose what to do. He usually keeps on with "I'm not eating that" and that's totally cool. We enjoy our dinners and keep saying, "You don't have to eat it."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When we finish eating, we start giving him a count-down to how much time he has left to eat. He's told that once he's finished with his dinner, he can have more, or can have dessert. It's usually not enough of an enticement to make him eat. So he digs in, and keeps fighting and we just keep repeating the six magic words.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Right around 6:30 something fantastic happens though. EVERY time we've had an issue with him eating his dinner, we get to this part of the night and the magic happens. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">HE</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">EATS</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">HIS<br />DINNER</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Not kidding. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I used to think he'd go to bed hungry and would have a battle of wills with me, and then I'd feel guilty and upset that he was hungry. I mean, what kind of mother lets her child starve? But it's all about power and I know he's testing limits and trying to see what he can get away with.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Every time we've had an issue, he's gotten to the 6:30 window and the thought of going to bed without anything to eat has been enough that he's actually consumed everything on his plate. Yes, EVERYTHING.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is what Gus has had for dinner that he's thrown a tantrum over:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hashbrown casserole (ham, potatoes, cheese)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tacos (Beef, cheese, hard shell)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Grilled chicken, steamed potatoes, and green beans</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While it may not seem like a big deal that he's eating these things, it's HUGE. Tonight was the battle over tacos. He did NOT want the ground beef on his taco. He only wanted the cheese and shell. No can do. I filled a shell with beef and put cheese on it and it sat at the table ready for him to eat it for 45 minutes. He finally took a bite and said, "I like it!" LOL</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm not sure if this is something that will work for everyone, and if you've got a picky eater, you're probably saying, "No way would this work with my kiddo." However, I dare you to give it a try. You've got to be 100% committed to following through with your word. No negotiating "If you take a bite... blah blah blah." You need to set the rules from the start and that's what you do.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If it works, you'll be as elated as I am and wonder where would you be without the six magic words.</span></span></span>Cat's Litterboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15383480756748575738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15765605.post-67823698378295149802015-05-04T17:07:00.000-04:002015-05-04T20:12:48.279-04:00I Heart Faces Photo Challenge : Rain/Water<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think I mentioned this before, but I joined a local MOPS group this year. If you don't know what MOPS is, it's <a href="https://www.mops.org/" target="_blank">Mothers of Preschoolers</a>. It's totally different from my MOMS Club because it's all faith-based. At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like that aspect of it, but as the year has gone on, I've found myself really looking forward to my MOPS Thursdays.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every other week, I go to a local church and meet with other moms of preschoolers. Hugh goes to their nursery with other kiddos his age and he plays for two hours while we meet in fellowship. There's always food (there's a sign-up and at least once during the year you're asked to bring something). There's usually a craft, and there's always some theme for the week.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday I had MOPS and we discussed a book that we were all given at Christmas as a gift. I wish I had started reading the book sooner than Tuesday (lol), but I was able to read about 100 pages of the book and had enough info from it to participate in the conversation during the MOPS meeting.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Something interesting came from yesterday's meeting. While reading the book that we were to discuss, I found myself asking a lot of questions and questioning things. Mainly, "Am I the only person that doesn't hear God when I talk to Him or ask questions?" I know prayers are answered in their own time, and I can usually look back and see reasons for things, but I've never had a flat out discussion with God with back and forth.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I asked the women at my table if any of them had experienced this. In the book, the author discussed her many conversations with God and Him talking to her. Like, for real, legit talking to her. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To my surprise, the women at my table had all had some kind of conversation with God and had heard answers in some form. One said she has had arguments with God (lol) and clear as day knew she was hearing the voice of God through different means. Another shared that she hasn't had a voice, but has been lead to follow God by different signs that she's learned to pay attention to. Another said she just follows God's lead by reading various passages in the Bible, or will head a voice in her head saying to read different verses and she knows that's God talking to her.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was dumbfounded. I have never had an experience like this. Then we talked more about the Bible and I admitted that I don't know the Bible, don't read it, and wasn't raised reading it. I was Catholic after all. They all agreed that the beginning should start with the Bible and it's never too late to start.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the ladies said she had something for me and would give it to me at the end of the meeting. We made cards as our craft, said our intentions and prayed for all that were shared, and then we were done. She said she'd meet me down at the nursery (where I was heading to get Hugh) and when I came out with Hugh, she gave me a women's devotion book and an audio book thingy that I can listen to in my car.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was really overwhelmed by her kindness and gave her a big hug. I texted Brittany after and told her about the meeting and the discussion and we got to talking about Bible Study. She suggested we do one together.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I honestly feel like God works in amazing ways. I asked Britt if we should ask some of our other friends and see if they'd be interested in doing a women's Bible Study together and she said absolutely. I emailed a few friends last night, and we now have a group of seven that will be starting our Bible Study on April 13th!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The book that's above is the one that we'll be starting with. It sounded interesting and I like Jen Hatmaker (I follow her blog). I'm eager to deepen my relationship with God, and to experience the fellowship that comes from sharing and opening up with friends. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I feel so fortunate to have people that I can depend on and that support me. I think we'll all grow and connect even more through our Bible Studies together!!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'll be sure to post again once we start and share how it's going!!</span>Cat's Litterboxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15383480756748575738noreply@blogger.com0
