Lucky Spaghetti

I am not sure that there is much need for explanation here!!

The boys have been entirely on a gluten free and casein free diet since November..

It is pretty easy to follow, actually, and we have seen lots of improvements in each boy..

You'll see in the video..Sam is saying alot more!! oh My!

Our whole little household is actually going green..more healthful (chocolate IS healthful people)

No more processed junk...blech! Myles is..forgive me...a lunatic...when he has processed stuff.

No amount of sewing would conteract his wild side after a high fructose corn syrup granola bar!

Anyway...here is Sam... my Love...Quinoa pasta Rocks!!!

Enjoy...(turn off the music down below)

My Little Apprentice

We've had a bit of cabin fever over these past few weeks.

Myles HAS to be loud sometimes...really, who doesn't??

His ecolalia kicks in and he's bouncing off the walls...jumping...running...and his voice is pretty loud at times...so when i find myself saying, "Shhhh! Quiet as a mouse! That's a little too loud!

MYLES!! No More!!!!"... i try to find something to channel that energy into quiet!!

(cue the Pachebel Canon in D)

So... he has started sewing!! Be still my heart!!

He started with an all time favorite...i want him to be able to draw something and then do the stitching...but we aren't there YET!!

I helped him here draw the elephant with a disappearing ink pen..and then he started stitching..

At first, he was stitching all over the fabric, so i put dots at every stitching point..

and he followed right along..

the concentration..

those perfect hands

excellent hand eye coordination..

more of the same

you're doing it buddy!

This makes me giddy!

We have started making one sewing project every Sunday at church.

He is a big kid now, so he sits in Big Church..and we really need to keep him occupied!!

This is THE PERFECT ACTIVITY for him...

he has done the elephant, a bull dozer, a race car, and Saturn so far..

hmm...what should we make out of all of these little masterpieces??

Have a Love-fully!

My Little Genius

Oh Sweet Sammy!!

You are so funny!

You are potty trained now.. you have been for quite some time... you go all by yourself...sometimes you need help..i mean, really, some tasks are more difficult!

But truly, you can do it!!

And you do a GREAT job getting yourself dressed again, cuz, everything comes off when you go..

who cares about the order..or the direction...your clothes are on..

and YOU DID IT!!!

i Love YOU so!!!

Too cold to be outside sensory bin!!

Myles has really been interested in all things transportation lately!!

Back hoe...Frontend loader...Dozers..Dumpers...Trains

He could play for OW-WERS outside making roads and towns...a caravan of all his vehicles..

But this weather here has been over the top cold...

he is just as content with this bin of rice...

Who says they don't like change???

Wearing one of his favorite shirts!!

The bin and cookie tray can only contain so much rice... This by NO means keeps it from falling to the floor...repeatedly...sometimes, even...being tossed...ahem...thrown.. all over the room...

who am i kidding??
I needed to sweep anyway!!

This is one of our favorite go-to's!!

Have a Love-fully!

Brothers

Here they are!!

These boys are so funny!

This is just before school one day and the others below are on a lazy Saturday!!

They love cheese-burger-ing for the camera!!

Sam actually is fascinated by the camera..and has a pretty silly new face that he gives me nearly every time...except in these...

ofcourse!!

Off i go...gotta pre-post for ya!!

Have a Love-fully!
