When we last saw the IT Family, we felt we wanted to have Boy evaluated for suspicion of a developmental delay. What do we do now? Parents are so lucky now. When Little IT was 2, she wasn’t talking. Hard to believe now that she’s an 8 year old motor mouth, but at that age she [...]

Begin at the beginning Part 1
As promised, here is the first of a series of postings on our experiences in helping my son with his hypotonia.
From the beginning of IT Boy’s life, it always seemed like there was some new crisis looming but never occurring. He was born in early September 2007 weighing in at 9lbs 11 oz and seemed [...]

There is a light that never goes out
Everyone loves IT Boy. Most certainly his parents, but he’s also been blessed with a rather active and vocal fan club. People in our little village love seeing him at our various soccer/pool/PTA/school activities. They hold him, play with him, laugh with him. To a person, they comment on how easy-going, mellow and friendly he is. We [...]

Donuts with Dad
This morning, Mr. IT is taking IT Girl to the book fair at school for “Donuts with Dad.” It’s when the book fair opens early in the morning to allow kids to visit with their dads (“*or other male family member over the age of 18″) before they have to head into work.
When I first [...]
