When you see that "crazy old bitch" again, please tell her that she has warmed the hearts of many a parent today. Might've even made a few eyes leak.

This.is.awesome! :)

I love, love, love your girlie! And THIS is one of my all time favorite interviews!

"Listen to the child who does not speak." That sums up our journey with our son, Nik. He was born extremely prematurely and spent his first 7 months in the hospital. He's faced a lot of really, really tough odds and has not only survived but thrived. Today, at the age of eight, he is a vibrant, curious, (very!) active child who loves to laugh and "sing." He has no words but uses a speech generating device which has changed the world for him and changed the way others see him.

Sugar? Brilliant! And the book? The IEP? Sex talk? Damn, you're on a roll!

I'm glad you are reemerging and that everyone survived. THIS: "He threw himself on the ground when I took it away," Alex said. Made me laugh out loud. Thanks, I needed that!

LOL! And why am I not surprised to hear Quinn is acting "more tigerish" now?

Your dentist is trying to kill you. You, in turn, are trying to kill me...with a laughter-induced heart attack! ;-)

I.LOVE.Jack.

OMG, there is SO MUCH TO LOVE in this post! But I especially love the GIANT smile on Jack's face and the picture of your tiny nerds playing chess! Ridiculously happy to read all this.
