Happy 40 Month Birthday Max!

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

My dearest boy,

Just yesterday as I was putting you to sleep you turned to look at me and said, Mommy I love you so much” and you kissed my cheek. I think this explains what kind of boy you are. You are a lover. You tickle my forehead sometimes as you are falling asleep or when we wake up. I told you the other night that we are best of friends and you agreed. You always love to hear how much people love you. When I tell you that and name all of the people who love you-it can change any emotion you are having into pure joy.

You are also ALL BOY. Your teacher said that you were playing Kung Fu Panda at school and got in trouble because you were hitting a boy in his head. The boy said he liked it but the rules at montessori are NO fighting. Of course you asked Why and I tried to explain that I know you were playing but still school has those rules. You thought that was silly.

CARS, CARS and CARS from the CAr Movie. They rule your world. See you keep getting more because that is you treat for going potty-3 pees or 1 poop. Well as you can see from the first pic-the cars are increasing and they keep coming in the mail daily. It is awful cute that you and Daddy pick out the cars on the computer together. It is fun for both of you. You guys also love to watch Car Movie mini takes on You Tube.

Your speech is going great. Your teacher Marlene Belkin is so proud of you and said just this week that you have done better at this point that she expected. We are so proud of you. It has been a hard month of detox and there was a week where you were having some issues with your speech but you bounced right back. Your teachers at school feel the same-that you are doing so well. They say you are the Protector for the kids. If a kid is doing something wrong or a kid gets hurts then you step right in to try and help.

Basically we just doing a lot of playing and cuddling. You are really loving books right now and you are very interested in the Why and What of  everything. It is so much fun to watch your grow and let me also say..you are such a handsome little guy. I am not just saying that because you are my son..

I have tried to explain to you a few times how special our bond is and will be forever. You and I are so similar and sometimes we bat heads but I get you and your are my first child. You are my first for everything and you have been an amazing child. You stand 38 inches tall and 35 pounds in weight. You are strong and strong willed. You are determined and curious. You love the beach and the big city. You are a great traveler and an awesome little man. You love playing soccer and you love school. Your best friends are Thomas and Bruno and you request constantly to have a party where we only eat chocolate, ice cream and cupcakes. I love you so much. I love being your mom and you have graced me with allowing mw to be that person in your life. happy Birthday my dearest boy.

Love,

Mommy

I live in a museum..

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

I am happy we are getting a lot of interest with our house being on the market but exhausting-it is so clean and pristine. I live in a clean house to begin with..I like things to be clean and in order..I am not super organized but I dont enjoy dirt or things being real messy-it makes my brain feel crazy..but this is just crazy. We have no pictures up. I am cleaning non stop and wiping things down. I dont even have knives or cooking utensils on the counter but the house looks amazing and shows so well. We have has two open houses and about 15 people walk through our house. We have a couple coming today to take another look.

I am happy and sad at the same time. I am happy because the health of my family with greatly improve with the move but sad because I adore my friends, my sitter and Max’s school. I will of course be so sad to not be near my parents of scott;s mom but after this past winter and all the health issues with Scott’s skin-well it is time. I know that Max is so much less allergic in the summer and well my general anxiety just does better in a slower pace life. It is good and not good. I have been feeling really stressed from all of this. I am trying to look at this as an adventure but it is hard. I have worked so hard to build a life here but I know that I will do it again. I know the health of my hubby is huge for our life. He has psoriasis that is arthritic and each year it is getting worse. I know Max is so much better in the summer. I know I need sun and well Samantha, despite not liking the sand or grass to touch her feet, will love being in limited clothing.

Life will be good and I have to keep looking toward the future and not the now..because right now I am just sad, annoyed and happy..strange mix of emotions but so true.

As for the kiddos, been a rough patch with detox with Max. He was actually having some issues with his speech, that was going so great, and I was warned that as he detoxed this may happen but I took the steps to start and remyelinate his nerves and things seem to be getting better again. Remyelination is a term for the re-generation of the nerve’s myelin sheath. When there is a huge dump of heavy metals or gut bugs, then sometimes, there is a loss of speech because the actual nerves in your body need to be re-coated. Crazy huh but I was also told this is a great sign that he is getting better. So he is taking a lot of spirulina and ashwaganda. I am aslso giving him an RNA made by Dr Amy Yasko called Nerve Coat and this seems to be helping a lot as well. It has just be a tough week. Tomorrow I will post some great pics and other wonderful updates.

I am just hoping we have an offer soon so we can stop the museum like living..

Happy 16 Month Birthday Samantha!

My dearest little girl,

I think I can explain you as fire spark. You are always on a mission and always on the go. You  love to explore. You love to be independent but you  enjoy knowing somebody is there with you. You have limited fears-you will go down a slide by yourself, try and go down the stairs like an older kid, hang odd of the over, climb up your high chair and well I could go on and on. You have so much life.

People love to say how adorable you are. They also say you are so little but I guess that would make sense since I am your Mom. You have either one pony tail on the side or two pig tails so your little curls stay out of your eyes. It is adorable..well you are just so adorable.

You still do not really like food but your eat lots of yogurt and banana chips. You LOVE your formula and many times I have tried to switch you to goats milk or another type of drink and you have stomach issues so for right now..until you eat more..this is what we do..lots of bottles.

This month has not been easy on your and your teeth. I swear you have been cutting 4 or 5 teeth this past month. There are some days you are so fired up and not feeling good that you don’t nap..but you still are a good sleeper at night..at most you wake one time and it is usually when you are teething.

You still love to cuddle, kiss and you are so very sweet. You can say Bye and wave, hi, dada, ma, dog, ba for bottle, woof, more, ban for banana and I am sure that I am missing a few. You love your brother so much and love splashing him in the water. You love watching Nemo and Shrek and laugh at the parts you think are funny. You love to shake your booty and dance to music and well you are just a ton of fun. You like to misbehave but not because you want to be bad-just because you want us to see you. You are awesome despite the fact that you refuse to sit in the cart while we are market shopping but hey-if that is the only thing..well then that is fine with me. Basically, I just love you so much and so does your entire family.

Love you lots little girl,

Momma
