The Tiny's

The Tiny's (orig. published 3.1.11)


Ok - so I know it has been practically FOREVER since I last updated this. I have a new laptop now, that I am currently typing on while laying in bed. That alone should allow you to picture how much easier it's going to be for me to blog from now on. I have also figured out how to upload pictures from my new camera to my new laptop (my my aren't we tech savvy this evening!). A few words of note - this won't be just a blog dedicated to Colson. As much as we do love him, he does have a sister after all and most of you would like to keep informed on how she's doing as well. So this is now the "Colson and Cayleigh's story with a little bit of Mommy and Daddy's whereabouts mixed in" blog. But, that's just far too long, so we'll leave it at "Colson's Story" until Mama here can figure out how to change that also.

I have a blog I wrote about Colson back in.... oh, November? I never posted it because I didn't have pictures with it. Well now that I have pictures - I will post it by this weekend. It will be out of date, but I know that some of you will enjoy reading it anyways.


Generally, I continue to put off writing in here because I feel guilty and therefore feel the need to "catch up" through one long blog and try not to forget anything. No more! If I missed something from the past few months, my apologies. :)

I will be updating this more frequently (as in hopefully a few times a week) and you will all get to know The Tiny's very well. Ah-ha! The Tiny's. New blog name. Anyone know how to change my blog title? Hehe.


Today was a good day - Colson is on the mend from his second ear infection in as many months and is looking forward to school tomorrow. They have fish this week (as in real fish) and he says "Yes! We DO have fish Mommy, and we feed them everytime they get hungry". He informed me that he wanted his own fish but that Daddy would have to get a fish bowl first. Here he is playing with his flashlight and making a light show for his sister.


Cayleigh is still my precious tiny lunatic. She's sweet though. She brought me my slippers and even put them on my feet for me while I was sorting bills tonight. She also decided that there was no one better to go in her baby bed than her entire fleet of bed-time friends.


I must point out that she is showing me "bearie" - who went missing this past weekend in Appleton. This is the first lovey we have ever lost and thankfully we recovered all due to a very ambitious security guard and sales team. I sometimes feel as if she is reminding me never to lose him again when she shows me him like this and makes me kiss him 100 times before bed.


We went out to dinner on Sunday night for Grampa P's 83rd birthday! How wonderful to see everyone and celebrate such a great birthday with Grampa and Gramma! The Tiny's had a wonderful time, and Cayleigh Jean used a fork for the very first time and ate almost all her food with it all by herself. Tiny skills. Love 'em

Write again soon - much love to all of you,

Jennifer

All is Well

All is Well (orig. published 10.19.12) We are eight days post-op and Colson is doing amazing. Neurontin continues to be a world changer for our lives as he is handling life SO much better this time around. We were released from the hospital on Monday (a day early yay!) and have been hanging out at my dad's house in Richmond, VA ever since. Colson has one very straight leg in a very red cast and one very bent leg in a very large piece of equipment. And he is doing fantastic. He wanted me to take a picture to show everyone how he can wiggle his toes: Some of you may know and some may not, but the cost for these operations is making a huge impact on our family. We are having a fundraiser here:  http://www.gofundme.com/z67qc  if anyone can help that would be amazing! Just one night at the Ronald McDonald house is $20.00 which isn't much, but it really adds up with how long we end up staying there. I'm humbled at the amount of money we have been able to raise, and I'd also ...

Spontaneous Love

Spontaneous Love (orig. published 2.20.09) You know your child loves you when you receive that first spontaneous sign of love. That first random hug, or that first kiss without asking. Last night, at bedtime, Colson was in my arms and he put his face in my face and stared at me and then started giving me Eskimo kisses and then stared at me some more. Then he politely demanded about 40 “real” kisses from me before I could lay him down, but that’s ok. I had just received my first “unasked” for kisses from my baby. Colson is growing up so fast. Tomorrow he will be 21 months old. He is still 21 pounds. And he is still wearing 9 month clothes. But, mentally, he’s practically a 3 year old (according to his therapists). He knows the letters A, B, D, E, I, M, N, O, P, T, and Y when you show him them on his blocks. He knows how to record his favorite shows, and how to delete them when he’s done. He knows how to turn the satellite on and off for the TV, and he knows how to do the “Hot Dog Dance...

It's a Miracle (League)!

It's a Miracle (League)  (orig. published 6.11.11) "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." -- Albert Einstein What amazing opportunities children of all abilities have these days. Colson had his first baseball game this last Wednesday, thanks to the community of Appleton, WI, the hearts and minds of The Miracle League of the Fox Valley, the teenagers, young adults and adults that have volunteered their time to support the children as buddys and as coaches, and the amazing children that have the ability to play. We had a blast, Colson was so surprised that he hit the ball (with the help of his buddy assisting Colson in swinging his arms) that he froze in place and didn't know what to do at first! Hah! He was waiting for someone to bring it back to him! Run Colson run we all said! And off to 1st base him and his buddy went. When he made it around all the bases, he ran up to the f...
