Guess Who Eli Likes?

So, guess what Eli's discovered...............




Yep. The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley.

I blame you, Cedar Creek Public Library.

We went in and checked out some movies that Eli wanted to see. Namely, Sound of Music and Snow White. So, a week passes and he remembers that he hasn't watched Snow White yet. Well, we pull it out, put it in and....

it's Mary-Kate & Ashley.

Some doofus switched tapes on us.

But, hey, I'm a doofus, too, because I once turned in our Lion King video in a 101 Dalmatian's video box by mistake.

All Doofuses of the World Unite!

We were bracing ourselves for a mega meltdown... but he loved it. In fact, I was in Austin with Noah yesterday and Sim said Eli watched it 8 times.

Now, in all fairness, it was "The Case of the Sea World Adventure" and had whales and sharks and stuff. But he also said that the girls in the movies are "soooooooooo pretty" and we did catch him dancing along to the musical numbers.

Which brings me to this. It is so bizarre watching The Olsen twins in a movie. I've never seen one of their movies before. They sing. And dance. And are 9 years old. And cute. And I can't help put picture them now with their stringy hair, humongous purses and ginormous sunglasses - and bony figures.

And, they're, like almost 22 now.

Very bizarre.

Let's just hope this isn't the beginning of a new obsession. His dinosaur one is going on 3 years now.

If he finds out that their are 379 MK & Ashely videos out there, we are in deep trouble.

The Answer to Noah's Shirt Chewing...

NOTE: If you came across this page by googling "Shirt Chewing", please click here for the most recent post on Noah's shirt chewing. Thanks! Sugar. Who knew that five little letters could wreck such havoc? As I've mentioned before, Noah has a terrible shirt chewing habit. I can't quite remember when it all started, but we all noticed that it STOPPED completely when we were in Austin. The only thing that was really different was his diet - since we were living out of a hotel for a week. When we got home, we racked our brains to figure out what it was.... what food triggered Noah' s shirt chewing. We were home about 2 days when Noah started chewing again. Agave Nectar. Sim had put agave nectar on Noah's waffles. We took the agave nectar out of his diet and the next day, the chewing decreased. A few days later, I gave him a peanut butter and jelly rice cake. He started shirt chewing. It had to have been the jelly.. which goes to show that just because it's

Acceptance and Moving Forward

It's been so long since I posted here. I wasn't even sure that I would remember my password. And, actually, I really haven't planned anything to write out, but I just had this overwhelming urge to post today. Maybe so that I can look back on this post next year and see how far we've come, I'm not sure. But here we are... and here I am.... 2016 was a challenge. Not just for our family, but for everyone it seems. I look around and 2016 just seems to be a year of hurt. It was a tough year on so many levels.  A little over a year ago, on December 23, 2015, we were told that my husband most likely had a certain lung condition that gave him only three years to live. We are so fortunate that it was NOT what they thought, but it led us straight into 2016 full of fear and despair.... feelings which continue all the way through today.... and may lead into 2017. To condense a very long story that's full of grief and misdiagnoses and full on panic attacks (for me), I wi

Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!!! I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?" And he said, "Iduvumum" Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?" And he said, "Esssss" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie." This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus). Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
