Kids crack me up- Anika was down for a nap she clearly needed at 1:30. (She was pushing EVERYONE's buttons all morning). She decided to play with her feet, talk to herself etc. to keep herself away for 2 HOURS!! At 3:30 I told her she had to go back and lay down and close her eyes since she was disobedient (which I should have caught earlier)- she is now fast asleep at 4! Crazy girl</div>

And tonight feels like one of them- should I have played more? The day raced by,and I got things done but what about spending time with my kiddos.

I don't say that so everyone will tell me I'm doing hard important work and doing a great job at it, I just say it because it is. And in so many ways, I am ready for our sweet Jesus to come and carry us away in paradise. But because I don't know when that will happen, I need my kids to know, always and forever, that I am fiercely in love with them<br />
<br />
BJ and Anika,<br />
<br />
I am fiercely in love with you. Always, no matter what. I don't care what choices you make, where you go in life, or what you think of me, but I will always always love you. Anika, you talked today about that "Mommy will never let us get hurt." I so wish that was true, bug. I wish I had the capability to shield you from hurts- both physical, emotional, and spritirual, but I don't. Yes, I will always do everything in my power to protect you and your brother, but it's not all in my power. (And we all know I love to control everything :)) Truth is, you may get hurt, as we live in a fallen, unperfect world. But just as equally true is that I will always be there for you, rooting you on, kissing your owies, and holding you while you cry, whether I'm there physically or not. And even more so, Jesus, the Lover of our souls will never let you down. We don't always understand the plan out there (sometimes it is so confusing) but I truly believe He will never let us down. And even though I've made so many mistakes today, and have thousands more to make as life goes on, God never never makes mistakes. He didn't make a mistake in making you, in placing you in my arms to care for, in the plan He has for your life and our family, and in His plans for calling you back to Himself. His ways are perfect. I will continue to love you, nuture you, laugh with you, dance with you, pray for you the best that I know how. Never doubt that, never doubt my love for you. And even more, know that when I mess up, your Heavenly Father will never mess up, and much more so- He is always waiting for you to run up, call Him Daddy, and fall into His outstretched arms. I love you, always and forever.<br />
<br />
XOXOXO<br />

I completely forgot to do a 6 year old BJ post, so that is on my to do list now. But just a thought. I love being a mom. Yes, it is exceedingly hard, with midnight awakenings for illness, scary dreams, and potty breaks, the not being appreciated, the very rare breaks we get, the worry about raising them right, it is so much harder than I ever dreamed. But the benefits are immeasurable. The dandelion bouquets, the homemade cards, the early morning snuggles, the maple syrup kisses, the "I love you's". And I know it may even get harder as they age and aren't as cute as they are right now, and don't forgive as easily, but I love these two little gifts from God excessively. <br />
<br />
BJ and Anika,<br />
It is my honor to be your mom, to watch you grow, kiss your owies, and pray over you at night. I pray that the God who covers over a multitude of sins will redeem my messy imperfect parenting and lead you onto the path He has for you. I may raise my voice to much (passionately), and may be a little on the crazy side (always), but am forever crazy about you two. Never doubt that, I am your biggest fan, your hugest supporter, and cannot wait to see what God has in store for the two of you!<br />
Love you to the moon and back,<br />
Mom<br />

His first day was August 13th, and he is loving it! He attends all day Mondays and Wednesdays and mornings on Fridays. His teacher Ms. Reagan seems awesome, and he couldn't be happier. Here are a few pics from the festivities.<br />

A couple of months back, BJ had finally saved up enough quarters from collecting trash to buy his bike (Brandon's idea). He was so excited to pick out his bike after working so hard for it. Brandon and he spent some time on the internet deciding which one would be the best, and found one they liked at Toys R Us. (Sidenote: I love online shopping- Amazon was how I did most of my Christmas shopping last year, but there is something very important and more special in letting a kid shop at a store.) BJ and I planned to have a lunch date with Daddy to pick up the bike- making it very special- putting an invite on his google calendar (that he uses for work and other life events) for a family lunch meeting to discuss the acquisition of transportation for BJ. He accepted our invite and the kids and I went out to run an errand before our "meeting time." Brandon, however, made sure he got to Toys R Us before we were able to for a meeting of his own. You see, BJ had saved up a lot of money, enough to buy A bike, just not the one he had picked out. And someday he will learn that different things cost different amounts, but that was not the lesson Brandon had planned for today. He went in and spoke with the manager about paying for part of the bike ourselves, but without BJ realizing he did that. So when we got to Toys R Us, BJ proudly walked back to the bikes- picked his out and started walking toward the register. He dumped his ziplock baggie on the counter and started to arrange his money. Brandon directed him to start making piles of quarters for dollars while he slyly swiped his card. The sweet manager then gave BJ the total remaining and he and B counted out the total. He was so proud riding the bike out of the store and told everyone in the neighborhood about how he saved up $70 but the bike was only $60 so he got to keep some. Someday we'll tell him the true story (especially because his numbers are all off) but for now I smile and know that my kids have the best Dad.<br />

So it is crazy here, as always, but it is way overdue for an update. <br />
<br />
BJ is growing like crazy, both physically and in maturity. He still has his moments, but he is definitely growing up. He can't wait to start kindergarten in a little over a month. He will be going M,W, and F (2 and a 1/2 days total). At the end of the school year we were attending many fesitivites he felt were the end of preschool and the beginning of kindergarten and was frequently confused on when the transition really happened. After a kindergarten meeting at school he asked "so do I go to kindergarten tomorrow then?" He is thrilled. There are so many moments I look at him and he looks so "grown up" compared to the cute preschooler I've known. He loves playing outside, any sports, helping Daddy with the car (hopefully to be finished or driveable for the first day of school), working out with Mommy (he has quite the passion for running on the "treadmiller" and pushing the limits on his speed- he is currently up to a quick 8.9 mph sprint), and playing with his sister. He attended Spanish camp earlier this summer so likes to pull out Spanish words here and there, but insists he didn't learn any new ones, just ones I had taught him previously. His goal for the summer is to be able to swim a far enough distance to go down the waterslide at our outdoor pool, and he is well on his way- working hard at swimming lessons in the lap pool. He also is preoccupied with time lately, and knowing exactly what time he needs to do things at. He has figured out that if he gets down for a nap lately (yes he still naps most days at least an hour), that we make him stay in his bed later (and "change his numbers" on a card that dictates when he can read and play quietly and get up), so is vigilant about getting to naptime on time (even if it means going by himself). Medically, we have "finished" the workup our docs think is appropriate for his gut stuff, so we are left with "idopathic" (meaning we don't know) problems and just to stay on Miralax indefinitely. He did get his big bike (with his hard earned money-which was a sweet story I should share later) and has been biking a lot- even teaching himself "tricks."<br />
<br />
Anika is qutie the little spit fire, who keeps us all on our toes. She is anxiously awaiting her birthdat ad has been tellig people for months that she is starting to be 3. She loves babydolls, being big, pink and purple (and orange, white, and blue- in that order), "I spy", riding her brother's scooter (she is wicked fast), fruit, bread, and "tandy" (candy). She varies on a daily basis whether she is big or a baby, and will correct you when you get it wrong. She cracks us up with her comments, especially her "oh yeah" that she interjects after almost everything. Her eyes are huge when she is excited or proud of herself. She tries so hard to be big like her brother, that sometimes she moves to the next step of things early. At church, she moves to the next room at 3, but has been in there for months because she enjoys the bigger kid activites (and fruit snacks), but will climb in the baby swing for tens of minutes at a time if you let her. She likes to give hugs and multiple kinds of kisses (butterfly, eskimo, and her made up bird kisses). She has been in her big girl bed since Christmas and has only fallen out once or twice, and different to BJ who would cry and run toward the door, she cries and crawls back in bed to go to sleep. She likes to tell you secrets quitely in your ear and then blurt out loudly verbatim what she just told you. She is constantly saying things that are hysterical, but I'm drawing a blank recalling them right now.<br />
<br />
I'll try to post pics later, when I can figure out how to get them from my phone or tablet to blogspot.<br />

This morning alone she has said quite a few funny things. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Brandon let me sleep in while he got up with the kids. Later, after I got out of the shower, Anika came up to check on me. "Can you come downstairs with me?" she asked. I told her no, I was getting ready. Later when I did go downstairs she responded "Mom, don't go downstairs, I'm not there!!" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also heard her and BJ having a loud discussion and the 2 of them ran in. "I'm lying!!" she announced loudly. BJ started to tell of the unfairness that she was telling him what to do. I cut him off and said, what is going on? He said "I don't know, she just yelled at me she was going to go tell mom" (Glad she was going to tell on herself!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We've been working on saying please here at the house, so will frequently tell her no if she doesn't ask nicely. She decided she needed clean socks so ran upstairs to get them and came back with tights. She struggled putting them on, and started to ask for help. We said no since she didn't say please, and she lay on the ground, crying "but I have naked feet!!" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
BJ has been working around the house for extra quarters, saving up for a bigger bike. His plan is to give Anika his old one, after a coat of pink spray paint. On the way back from church she announced that she would like to "run to Target with Daddy." I asked her what she needed there and she responded "my new pink bike, I have enough pennies, yeah"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Despite all the reminders and repeating yourself I feel like we do at this stage, it sure is funny.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Such a sweet boy at times (and others a serious terror). But I love the moments of responsibility or sweetness. Tonight he informed me that they used M & M's at school for graphing. "Everyone else ate theirs at school Mom, but I didn't because they had peanuts in them, so I brought them home for you to take to work" Melt my heart sweet boy, saving your candy for me. (Let me clarify, his school is nut free, the M & M's were just processed in a factory that also process peanuts, so his sweet teachers told him safer to not eat them.) They were in a baggie, waiting to be taken to work with his mom. (We let him eat and enjoy every last one for being so responsible). <br />
<br />
Tonight he asked for some felt to make Anika a new lovey (her blankets that she adores and sleeps with every night)- he carefully cut it out and glued little tabs on the edges so it will look like her others.<br />
<br />
Sadly, we had to make a change with our au pairs and had to ask Paola to leave. The kids adored her and will really miss playing with her. They were heartbroken not to be able to say goodbye, so BJ wanted me to send her a message that said "I wish you could stay forever, goodbye" What sweet hearted little boy!<br />
<br />
Anika continues to crack us up at her 2 year old comments. One of her favorite conversations includes "me want to tell you about my day" "Ok Anika, tell me about your day, what did you do?" "Go to the swimming pool" (this is said on a daily occurrence even though we go maybe once every 2 months or so). "Anika, you didn't go to the swimming pool today, do you want to go?" "Please-o, please-o, please-o" Her other favorite things to talk about is her status in her age. If you ask her how old she is, she will respond with a variety of things "5" "4" "1" but hardly ever "2." One of her other favorites is telling us she is a baby. "I'm a baby" all day long. If you ask her if she is a baby girl or our special girl, she will respond "I'm just a baby!" (Unless of course she is playing with baby Ray, her favorite doll, and then she is a mommy!)<br />
<br />
Love seeing their beautiful personalities bloom!<br />
<br />
Another quick note, we have a new au pair that so far is amazing. Her name is Carolin, and she comes from Germany via New Jersey. The kids love her, and she is already picking up on the schedules and expectations around here. <br />
<br />
Anyway, that's it for tonight- hopefully I'll blog sooner than a month from now!Cassihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16708591053574142525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239125512834437234.post-22634245937473169312014-01-07T20:38:00.000-07:002014-01-07T20:38:16.526-07:00Christmas Letter/Late New Year's LetterMerry Christmas and Happy New Year's (Belated),<br />
<br />
Just didn't get a chance to pound out a quick Christmas letter until now, so enjoy, even if it is late, and not sent out in envelopes.<br />
<br />
Brandon is still enjoying his job at Hoerbiger, despite the frequent travel. He has become very used to showing us his hotel rooms at night via Skype. He spends his free time playing with the kids, working on the Nova, researching for the Nova, and keeping us in line with Dave Ramsey. He and BJ are best buds, and Brandon walks him to school every day he can. Anika has him wrapped around her little finger, (but he still will discipline when needed) and she requests being able to snuggle with Daddy every night before bed.<br />
<br />
Cassi continues to work 3 days a week at Aspen Family Care. She enjoys the balance this affords her, giving her extra time to be home with the kids. She continues to like to work out, especially at her new favorite gym, OrangeTheory. She ran 10 races this last year- a combination of duathlons, sprint triathlons, and 5K's. She loves to make yummy healthy food for her family, spend time with girlfriends, and reading books. She had a blast this year with Brandon celebrating their 10 year anniversary in Puerto Rico, sleeping in, the beach, hiking through a rainforest, and old San Juan. Thanks to Grammy and Papa for keeping the kids SUPER busy for a week, so that when they had a chance to Skype, BJ said "Do we have to Skype with you now, or can I keep playing please."<br />
<br />
BJ turned 5 this year. He is growing in leaps and bounds, and frequently thinks he is in charge around here. He learned to ride his bike, build tons of Legos, and continues to work on letters, numbers, and reading and writing at preschool 3 days a week. He had a blast on his soccer team this last year, doing 2 seasons with the same group of boys and his favorite coach, Coach Clinefelter. He loves to go camping, playing outside, and helping Daddy work on the Nova. He is extremely knowledgable about every make and model of Matchbox cars he owns (and that is a lot). (He is very concerned that you know that he loves to play legos.) We have struggled a bit with his health lately, but will hopefully soon have answers. Nothing serious but lots of little "frustrations."<br />
<br />
Anika, 2, is our crazy girl. (Per BJ, she drives us crazy by being a pest). She loves anything her brother loves including cars, playing outside, and riding on scooters. She loves to go on walks to preschool to sneak away from mom and play for a few minutes at school. She spends many hours playing with "Baby Ray" being quite the caretaker for her doll. She frequently requests a trip to the swimming pool, soccer game, and to be big. She has transitioned to a big girl bed at Christmas, and is fully potty trained except naps and overnight. This year has been a transition in childcare also, as we said goodbye to Angie after almost 2 years and invited Paola from Colombia to come help us with the kids. We were especially nervous how Anika would react, never having a caregiver other than Angie. However, both kids really enjoy Paola, but were still excited to have a visit from Angie at Christmas.<br />
<br />
We are so thankful and blessed by all of you, our friends and family, but more so, God, who continues to orchestrate our lives in ways we could never imagine!<br />

That seems totally surreal. How did my sweet chunk-a-monk baby boy turn 5? And as this milestone is reached it just reminds me how much I want to hold on to the sweet memories with him. Some of the highlights for me today: <br />
<br />
"Waking him up" (he was already awake but I went upstairs) with a chocolate muffin (his wish for breakfast) with a lit candle, watching him blow it out, and then ask to do it all again.<br />
Watching him pretend most of the morning it was relighted, after I only relighted it once. <br />
Watching him bound into preschool, wanting to help carry the huge plate of cookies we made to share with his class. <br />
Seeing him run to the truck after class, ready for the next adventure. <br />
Seeing him drink in the fact that Daddy, Mommy, Paola, and Anika all got to go to the park for a picnic with him. <br />
Watching him show Daddy "Airplane park" and tell him that now he is jumping on a plane to fly to Omaha. <br />
Checking in on him at nap time, after he insisted he did not want to take a nap, he wasn't tired, and seeing him totally sacked out. <br />
Taking him to his first ever in the theater movie- just his dad, him, and me. <br />
Getting him into the movie free after the ticket counter guy said "How old are you buddy?" He says 4, I correct him to 5. The ticket guy says "you say 5, I heard 3 which means you're free today" <br />
Sitting in that movie, in a theater all to ourselves, eating smuggled in nuts, M & M's, and gummy bears with a huge soda his Dad got us to share. <br />
Running to the bathroom 3/4 of the way through after he drank so much soda. <br />
Running back to the theater after the bathroom and his asking me "Mommy, when we get back to the movie, can we snuggle?" <br />
Spending the rest of the movie sitting with a backrest in my back, because I wanted to snuggle with my son. <br />
Watching him get so excited to open his presents, but not so much that he forgot to share. "Anika, how about we both get 2 laps around on the scooter then switch?"<br />
His letting Anika have the first 2 laps :)<br />
<br />
I wish I could drink in every precious moment and not forget it, only cherish it. And yet I know I've forgotten more than I remember. And not every moment is precious, but it is ours. My sweet bugaboo and me.<br />
<br />
Look at that sweet boy. . .<br />

For previously being behind- Anika loves to talk now. I wanted to get a post out on some of her -isms so we don't forget them (we still joke about BJ saying "toes on" instead of bare feet).<br />
<br />
"Hold you" = hold me<br />
When asked how old she is, she responds with 2 1/2 (even though she won't be 2 1/2 til Feb.)<br />
"Tomo stas" = como estas<br />
Choosey= excuse me<br />
"Baby Ray is crying"- I hear this all day long- her doll is named Baby Ray (after her cousin) and evidently he cries a lot, but is only helped by her kisses.<br />
"An-kin-ka"- what she claims her name is some days.<br />
"Underwear on"= underwear (whether on or off)<br />
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 8, 9, 10, 11, 8, 9, 10, 11<br />
Toccer game = soccer game- yelled at random times<br />
Pinking about it = Thinking about it (what she does on the way to soccer practice)<br />
Mommy, eating. Mommy, raining. Mommy, told (cold)- the way she runs a commentary on our day.<br />
"Heard it" if she hears a noise<br />
"Noisy, Mommy, noisy"- for a loud noise<br />
"Read. the. book" (Hard to describe her intonation)<br />
"Doctor's. HOUSE"<br />
When dancing "Mom, tetchups" (ketchup which means dip)<br />
"Anika, do we hit?" A: "Yes" Mom: "No" A: "No, no hit"<br />
"Anika, why are you sitting on the step?" A: "Hit brother" Me: "No, you didn't hit brother" A:"Bite brother" Me: "No, you didn't bite brother" A:"Hit Mommy" Me: "No, Anika, let me tell you why you are sitting on the step"<br />
<br />
<br />
Love this girl!<br />

Except, there weren't too many answers, just more of a plan :) So, talked to the GI doctor. I'm usually good at remembering BJ's docs names, but I'm losing track. Anyway, she took time with us and listened fairly well without feeling too rushed. I tried to be helpful and print up his past medical history, a quick summary, and a quick diet log (all in fear she would say it was diet related and send me on my way). In the end, she glanced at this stuff, but took my answer that he had a good diet. She examined him again-he is a trooper. He deals with some of the "ickier" exams better than most male adults :) And then she offered the kids juice and goldfish or teddy grahams so we could talk longer. (Interesting strategy- after we've discussed whether or not he has a healthy diet- and since I had already let them have raisins). Basically, she wants us to continue what we are doing with the Miralax, just be more regimented in it. We also need to keep a log of his bowel movements and his tummy aches. She suggested we continue to keep him off dairy as a dairy allergy (even though his previous dairy testing is negative) could present this way. She also wants us to do a blood test for celiac (gluten allergy) but we can wait a little while to see if our insurance company accepts our appeal on the cystic fibrosis carrier test and do both tests together. (I love it when pediatric docs understand how traumatic blood draws can be and are cool with "grouping" them). We will go back in 2 months, and if there is no change at that time, she will suggest a colonoscopy to get to the bottom of his issues. Thanks for your prayers! Here are some cutie pictures to share!<br />

The cardiologist we met with today looked over his x-ray, did an EKG, thorough exam, echocardiogram (ultrasound of his heart), and declared his heart to be healthy. He did not laugh and say we didn't need to be there, and thought it reasonable to investigate given BJ's lung history. Additionally, he did not detect any leaky valves or small holes in his heart. BJ did a great job listening, sitting still, and chilling while they checked him out. Anika, however, in true little sister form was disappointed they didn't do an EKG ("stickers, Mommy, stickers") or echo ("lay down, Mommy, shirt off") on her. However, the nice part about a peds office is that they are used to typical 2 year old behavior. Next week, GI. Thanks again for your support and prayers. Specifically, I would pray for wisdom on the part of BJ's doctors, answers, and avoiding a surgery to fix his GI system. Also, patience and peace Brandon and me even if there are no answers. We would love to get to the bottom of these issues and know how best to help him. Thanks to everyone.Cassihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16708591053574142525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239125512834437234.post-52047294740147850642013-09-30T21:48:00.002-06:002013-09-30T21:50:16.286-06:00UpdateThanks so much for everyone's support and prayers over BJ's health. Even if we don't have a ton of information more, it has helped immensely with peace for me over what is going on. Thank you so much for that!! (Even the sheer numbers of people who read the blog- 110 views is astounding. Thanks for caring enough to read) I don't have a ton of answers for my update today, just some more info. Tomorrow we head to the cardiologist for them to check out his heart size. I'm half expecting the cardiologist to say we don't need to be there, and half expecting another slew of tests to be ordered. We'll just have to wait and see. Our insurance company doesn't want to cover the genetic blood test our pulmonologist wants to have done, so we did a sweat test and it came back negative. Negative, as in, BJ does not have cystic fibrosis, definitively (within whatever false negative rate the test has). Yay! But he could still be a carrier and have similar issues to what he is having now, with less negative impact for his future. Praise God! Then next week we had to the gastroenterologist to see what they have to say about his poor gut. He's had a bad week last week discipline-wise, but it may be just all the chaos. That's really all I have for you right now. I'll see what time/energy I have to update tomorrow after cardiology. Thanks again for your support. It has been amazing.Cassihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16708591053574142525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239125512834437234.post-87357181950330374692013-09-17T21:10:00.002-06:002013-09-17T21:10:32.162-06:00HealthI'm really hesitant to write this post for a lot of reasons, but the whole point of the blog is that this is our family, our life, so I'm writing it. I am unbelievably thankful for BJ's health (and improved health). I had no idea what to expect back in residency with a sweet asthmatic baby, pulling long hours at work to come home and do neb treatments, stressing about taking more sick days, etc. We could have it so much worse. Plus, there are countless moms whose greatest nightmares have come to life in their kids awful diagnosis or worse. In no way am I trying to compare myself to them, or belittle them. Their strength is amazing on a daily basis, and they deserve years of pampering. But, I'm also allowed as a mom to feel and be frustrated :) And today, I'm tired and frustrated. It came to our attention quite a while ago that BJ was having some issues with his gastrointestinal tract. I, being the lovely Dr. Mom, didn't panic and took forever to make an appointment for him to be evaluated. So, we had him evaluated and found out he was horribly massively constipated. A total shock to both of us, but I saw the proof, so I have to agree. We brought him back home and set out to "clean him out." Anyone who has ever had a colonoscopy, bless you- that stuff is dreadfully disgusting. We spent the day in tears. BJ crying because it tasted awful AND he wanted to eat AND he didn't want to drink anymore. I cried trying to explain why he had to go through the awfulness AND trying to rack my brain on how to make it better. And Anika cried because she wanted to drink what her brother was drinking :) Prototypical Anika! We survived, the medicine seemed like it was doing the trick, and we hoped and prayed we never would have to do that again. He got set up on a daily regimen to stay cleaned out and we went on our merry way. Except, it didn't seem to be changing any of the original issue, and now BJ was complaining of belly pain. So, back to the doctor, another x-ray, another eval, and we find out, the clean out didn't do a lick of good. Not one iota of change. I could have cried. Seriously. So, back to the drawing board on why my poor kiddo is so constipated. We completely dropped dairy from his diet. We had a thyroid study drawn (gotta love blood work in this age group- I cry because he cries), and were sent back to the pulmonologist to evaluate for cystic fibrosis. (Side note to catch up- we've had the sweat test for CF done twice before with no results- and it isn't the diagnosis you want your kid to have, if you have a say in it.)<br />
<br />
Fast forward to today. We have an appointment at Children's with pulmonology. No appointment at this facility is cheap or fast, but they are amazing with kids- so we keep driving the 45+ time to come. Plus, BJ knows the place, and his favorite doc is there. We haven't even had vitals done when the nursing assistant helping our doc out today tells us to head down for a chest xray. Not what I expected, but they are pulmonary, and I know enough to not argue (too much) with our docs. Head down, back up, pulmonary function testing- hysterical in a 4 year old, back the room, meet with the nursing assistant, wait for the doc. (Might I say as my sweet guy who normally naps is fading fast at my side). (But clearly I feel I need to draw out the drama because this post is already longer than it should have been.) So anyway, he thinks the chance of BJ having CF is extremely small (mental sigh), but that he might be a carrier and thus having some issues because of his carrier status. He wants to run an expensive genetic test to see if BJ is a carrier and get him in to GI. Great, fabulous, done. Until the next part. And oh yeah, we did a chest x-ray because his heart looked big on his abdominal x-ray and it is big on the chest xray too. I need you to see cardiology. I totally laughed. Seriously, out loud, laughed. I think he misunderstood me, because he started to explain why it was important But I understood, just was shocked and overwhelmed at the idea of another issue to figure out. My sweet child- the proof that you can do everything right, breast feed, make your own baby food, have a dog, get rid of the dog, feed him a diet that is healthy and full of fiber, and pray over him- and still have things not go right. I smiled, thanked him, walked out, attempted to schedule 2 visits, scheduled one, called Brandon, got Beej buckled in his seat, and cried. Cried that my sweet "healthy, normal" son has more in his continuing health saga. Now, at the ripe old age of 4, will have a PCP, pulmonologist, allergist, ENT, general surgeon, gastroenterologist, and cardiologist. Some days, I find that exhausting. And some days, I remember my friends and acquaintances who are morning a loss of a child, or praying he or she will leave the hospital and live a life as normal as BJ has it. Thank you Lord, for keeping him safe AND healthy.<br />

I have made countless mistakes parenting (Brandon has made a few) over the last 5 years, but despite that and because of God's grace, we are seeing a sweet little gentleman emerge from BJ lately. It is so great to see glimpses of what we are working for over time. Lately, he's been doing much more mature things, like asking how he can help, helping watch out for his little sister, offering affection/complements on on his own, and rubbing backs/giving hugs when he can see I'm getting frustrated. I'm so proud of the little man he is becoming and thank God regularly for the blessing of BJ in our lives.<br />

I slipped down the stairs and jammed my little toe to the black and blue, semi limping stage. <br />
<br />
Anika fell backwards off a chair (after being reminded repeatedly to sit down).<br />
<br />
As I was reveling with an acquaintance about how great it was to have just one child with me at the library, Anika pulled a large computer monitor over onto her thumb. I was panicked on the bill of the monitor (which was fine), Anika walked away with a stamp and an ice pack (way to reward my negligence).<br />
<br />
But BJ wins the prize for the most significant "owie" in the house. We attended an au pair party (think 75 or so families plus au pairs) at a local splash pad park. BJ (I think) was really showing off for Brandon since he hasn't gone with us to this particular park. He decided to climb a 6' tall rock tower and wave at his mom from the top. Brandon warned him that he needed to be careful, he might hurt himself, but he reassured his father- 'I got this, Dad' and then proceeded to fall off, slamming his face into the rock on the way down. Brandon was right next to him, but couldn't grab him. Luckily he landed on his feet, but was spitting blood everywhere when he landed. Sweet boy was in a ton of pain and very scared, but has been brave ever since. His face looks really bad, but the worst is a cut inside his lip- all the way up. No stitches, but lots of ice, soup, and Popsicles. He has really struggled with eating ever since- only soft, small foods- and nothing acidic- he's definitely missing eating our wonderful cherry tomatoes this week. But after driving home from the incident, he did decide to visit the neighbors for some extra sympathy- so I think he'll be okay.<br />
