BLESSINGS AND CURSES: be carefull what you wish for you may get it!

Gage has come so far in the last year and we have so far to go. But its come to my attention lately that progress is sometimes more work. So I've come up with a list of blessings/curses that have been bestowed upon us:


BLESSING: In November Gage learned to say Mommy for the first time
CURSE: I now hear "Mommy" several times a minute through the day

BLESSING: Gage is improving with his self help skills
CURSE: Gage frequently pulls down his pants and pees on the floor

BLESSING: With the help of melatonin Gage falls to sleep peacefully without any screaming or crying between 8 and 8:30 pm
CURSE: Instead of sleeping until 8am Gage is up bright and early between 6 and 6:30am.

BLESSING: My husband recently put steps at the back door so we don't have to go through the basement to get to our fenced in back yard.
CURSE: Gage now wants to get in his swing at 7:30am.

BLESSING: Gage is becoming more adventuresome with food. He is interested in foods he used to turn his nose up at.
CURSE: He often is interested in "off limit" food with wheat or gluten in them

and finally...
BLESSING: We have a curious, sweet, loving, funny little boy

I saw the swing in a picture. Where did you get that, how much did it cost, and how did you put it up? We SO need that.

hey Kelli...we got that swing from Acheivement Products you can get them to send you a catalogue. But Gage actually prefers the toddler swing on the swing set. The one on the swing set just goes forward and back the one in the basement goes all around.
