Noah's Regular Stuff

He is mostly using only one sign now, rather a "universal yes" - it's kind of like the real "yes" but kind of like a wave, and often done with both arms. Do you want to get down? Yes. Do you want milk? Yes. Do you want more granola? Yes. Etc. Did... (More)

The Report: Jonathan "Drives" A Backhoe

Shopping Cart Thrill Ride

After Noah's doctor appointment, we went to the grocery store. I had parked forward-facing to a curbed, sloped sidewalk. On the side of the walk opposite the parking lot was a railing. Because of the curb, I did not push the cart to the trunk of my car as I usually... (More)

7th Tooth Finally Makes It and Other Stories

Lower left. It's been bothering him for quite a while. Glad it's through and I hope the matching one comes quickly so we can have a rest for a while. Noah has made up his own game that's kind of like Bocce ball. He holds one ball in his hand, and then uses it... (More)
