You are probably thinking my lack of blogging must mean everything is great. That we are up to the normal schedule, nothing new and exciting to report. You would be wrong.
Wednesday night, after my ‘rare treat’ day, Ben woke up around 1am with a tummy ache. Adam tried to get him to puke in the toilet but it wouldn’t come out. Finally we settled him to sleep between us in our bed. That’s when he decided to throw up. This stomach bug has lingered on FOREVER. He has kept Adam and I up for an hour or two anywhere from 1 to 3 in the morning puking, having violet diarrhea, or both. And not just during the night but during the day too!
Last night I was hopeful it would end. My friend Gina was in town and we went out late for drinks. But once again he was up for hours on the toilet.
Watch out Gina, those are the two sickies…
This morning I went in to get Sam, he was laying in a pool of throw up….
Did I mention that as luck would have it, our washing machine broke on Friday? Adam and I have piled a mountain of puke and poop filled clothes and sheets to wash when it gets fixed on Monday.

So what is his walking style? Well, it’s unlike Sam who would stand for hours without holding onto anything, then slowly started walking, very carefully, Aaron prefers to pull himself up to standing then launch himself off the furniture in the hopes he stay upright. His skinny little legs look like they are accomplishing the impossible by holding him vertical. It’s very wobbly and therefore I’ve named his style, “It’s time to Meet the Muppets” because he looks like a muppet walking.
This month was another big month for change.
Aaron has become the dancer. Anytime there is music he’ll sway back and forth or pump is legs up and down when he stands to the beat.
There are many more new skills like opening toilets, and cabinets, and drawers. I’ve had to redo my kitchen cabinets in an attempt to keep them from pulling every single thing out of them. I’ll post pictures soon.
Last night we attended a party for Rochelle Trotter at
