I'm miserable...

As the day has gone on today my throat has been hurting worse and worse and now I can hardly swallow or talk. Doesn't God know that there is no time for me to get sick? OH NO! This is my punishment for that phone call I made on Saturday!

The boys have just been boys today. Korbin aka Cool Dude got out of the shower last night and spiked his hair up and used ALL of my expensive salon hair spray to make it "just right"! Darn kid! He slept on it all night and went to school today with all still sticking straight up except where he laid on it! I should've taken a picture! OH wait I did! Because they said goodbye to our very good friends this morning and I took pictures then. Now where did I put that camera? He's so funny I get such a kick out of him except when he's throwing fits and acting like a two year old!

Tayton, my little Tayton, brought tears to my little eyes last night. Socially Tayton has many issues. He can't stand being touched by other people especially kids. Well he came down stairs last night when he heard Megan and Jada, who had been staying with us for a few days, come home. He said he wanted to give Jada a hug! My little boy just doesn't do that! I was so happy! He even did it again so we could take a picture AND hugged her this morning too! He's so awesome! Here's the proof!

Congrats on Tayton's milestone! That's awesome!

Hope you feel better soon! We had tonsillitis going around our house a week or so ago and it was so not fun!

Thanks Jess, it's such a big deal to me!

I've always done a lot of reading and research on Taytons disorder and now they are combining it to be Sensory Processing Disorder instead of Sensory Integration Disorder. It's really easier to understand that way I suppose.

Hey Mimi!
Thanks for taking the time to comment. My little Tayton was asking about Julian (referred to him as "that kid with no hair, what was his name again? The one who liked yellow like me").

I hope you're feeling better by now, and that you ran out to buy a frame for that photo. That may never happen again!

My oldest had serious tactile issues when he was little. I also had gross motor skills problems and is dysgraphic. When he was about 10 we had a physical therapist, actually, PT/OT, work with him once a week for what seemed like a half a year.

She showed us how to do a lot of the stuff, too, like the tickle test where we would take turns using something like a feather to tickle each other's arm and move up to a wash cloth, and then a pencil eraser, and finally fingers. He actually love the one-on-one time so much that he'd ask to play.

He is now almost 29 and still has some issues but nothing lifestyle damaging. And he obviously got over the not liking to be touched thing. He's been married for over a year now. ;o)

email me if you want more info.
