Look who's writing!


OK, so I won't be hiring Max out anytime soon to address wedding invitations. But holy handwriting: He is scribbling his name by himself! Quite the feat for a kid with hands that sometimes don't do what he wants them to do.

Squeeeee!

Max uses a pencil encased by foam tubing, the same kind we use for the maroon spoons he eats with. The stuff looks like this:


Once again, let me just say, TAKE THAT, DOOMSAYING DOCTORS OF THE NICU.

Yeah.

  19. Gotta share some family drama that I know you'll appreciate. My daughter can't handle pet dander because of her trach. My SIL invited us over for dinner on Saturday because my in-laws will be in town. But the cat now stays inside, so she said my daughter will have to stay outside. MY ONE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER will have to stay outside. Thanks, but I think we have plans. The insensitivity of my husband's family never ceases to amaze me.

    1. Whats that got to do with this? And how do you know "Ellen will appreciate it" then, eh?? It is rude not to praise Max. It is also rude to share irrelevant things in the comments section of a post which is about something else.
