A Little Chaos Theory

One of the “side effects” of autism that Breydon has is Picky Eater Syndrome. In fact, there was a point in his life where the only things that he would eat were Nutragrain bars (fortunately generics were okay), canned mandarin oranges, and crisby chicken nuggets. If we gave him something that was not on his [...]

Roegen has within the past three days become obsessed with using the potty.  The reason?
 

I think he looks like a biker dude.  I wonder if this is a sign of the future.

Today I had the honor of guest blogging for Brillig at ‘Twas Brillig.  This opportunity was extra special for me because ‘Twas Brillig was one of the first blogs I started reading regularly and one of my earliest additions to my blog roll.
I was hoping to say something amazing that would go down in history, [...]

I looked at my blog today and realized that my last post was on my birthday. That break wasn’t intended to happen. I’ve sat down to my computer several times over the past week, at least every night, but still haven’t managed to produce anything for this blog. You see, life goes [...]

I shouldn’t laugh about this but every time I think of it I find myself chuckling again.  Since today is my birthday I figure that I’m able to get away with things right now that I wouldn’t get away with otherwise. 
Last night I had helped Roegen take off his shirt and pants because it [...]

Today is Father’s Day, the 8th such day that Scott has celebrated. He’s a good one, despite his lack of interest in changing poopy diapers. The bond that he and the boys share is strong. I watch him with our sons and my heart melts.
I also spend today thinking about my Dad. I’ve rarely talked [...]

Today is my mother-in-law’s birthday.  I won’t say how old she is because although she doesn’t know about this blog I’m sure that if I tell anyone who passes through her age karma will come back to bite me in the nose.  And I don’t know about you, but I have quite enough karma going [...]

Breydon and Jude are both at the upper weight limit for their current carseats.  So while we were out running errands yesterday I had Scott stop so that I could run in see if what I wanted was at Target, leaving he and the kids in the car.  Afterward, Scott and [...]

While playing outside in the yard Roegen fell down in front of Jojo and she seized the opportunity lick him.
Roegen: Help me Daddy, Jojo eat my hair. Jojo eat my hair.
Scott: You’re fine. She’s just playing.
Roegen: No! Jojo eat my hair. Naughty Jojo!

Scott had an interview on Friday that seemed promising. He is also submitting several applications for an area of Wyoming that we’re very interested in. Job hunting is tedious and I really want to know what’s going to happen now (or last month although that’s obviously out of the question now), but there [...]
