What can I find to be thankful for?

  Thanksgiving 2014.  Ashlynn is 5 and Jace is 2.  I love these little guys.  This morning we made our annual thankful Turkeys.  This year Jace answered yes or no to my suggestions, and Ashlynn for the first time came up with her own with little difficulty. She’s thankful for her mommy (tear), daddy, Jace, and cousins.  She loves seeing her cousins and will get to see them today. I

Um…okay.   She showed me a picture Ashlynn had drawn the first day of school of a person with her name on the paper, and then another current picture of a person

Apraxia? How does that affect her vision and hearing?

So today I took Ashlynn to her 5 year checkup at the doctor’s office.  Her pediatrician is one I met at a pediatrician’s office, but who decided to go work at a family medicine facility.  I love the pediatrician, but having her housed in a general practice creates some challenges….such as today. The regular physician assistant was out on vacation, so  another one was there to fill in.  Though she
