My Life and How It's Going: little black dress tradition
http://melner.blogspot.com/2015/05/little-black-dress-tradition.html
My Life and How It's Going. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Little black dress tradition. When I was pregnant with Hayden, I read an article in a magazine that depicted a family’s tradition with their daughter. Beginning with her first birthday, they dressed her in her grandmother’s vintage bathing suit and took a picture. They did this every year as they watched their baby daughter grow from a toddler, to a child, to a young woman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States.

Just in case there's anyone I hadn't told, I had a hysterectomy 12/4. My recovery was going great, just some pain (which is expected after surgery! The nurse that found me later mentioned something to the effect of after that morning, she wasn't sure she was in the right field. I told her I definitely was glad she was a nurse that morning&...

Or at least my child with a disability (they're all different). (And, hey, fun fact, little miss has anxiety, SPD and OCD, which technically means she has 'special needs', too, although luckily they seem to flare less often. for now). And the insane bodily fluid messes. no one expected that! I have to know a l...

Okay, who turned out the lights? Life with a gifted child, a child with autism (who is super smart, too) and a whole lot of craziness :). Thursday, October 25, 2012. Getting back to it. After some desperate phone calls, we finally got in to see the psychiatrist. He diagnosed JT with depression-NOS (likely bipolar) and anxiety. He adjusted meds to help JT get back to the happy, flappy little man he is usually. Graham is giggly, goofy and happy. And it's only been 4 days. Fingers crossed and prayers said.

Okay, who turned out the lights? Life with a gifted child, a child with autism (who is super smart, too) and a whole lot of craziness :). Monday, December 24, 2012. Ever since the unimaginable tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, I have been reeling. First, those babies. Oh my goodness. As a teacher (and future teacher in the public schools), I cannot imagine. I love my babies with everything, and I would protect them. Those brave teachers and sweet babies. So I posted, "Autism is not a mental illness.".

Every time I hear that word, it makes me flinch. The other students, fifth graders, I was working with, noticed my reaction to one of their classmates using the word. One was angry, he knew it wasn't okay to use that word. It was an opportunity to show them why the word is hurtful, and why we shouldn't use it. And by callin...

Excited. about a tonsil/adenoid removal? Tonight as I was tucking little miss into bed, I asked her about her surgery coming up this Friday. I'm kind of excited." was her reply. When I asked why, I got this. "Because I don't usually get a lot of attention. my brother does. And I'm going to get attention.". That was like a knife in the heart.

Summer vacation has a way of waking me up. I get to see the real 'dis' in disability. I see the struggles that his awesome school deals with, that I am blissfully unaware of.
