Have I mentioned that Kai-Lan is Nicholas’s girlfriend? Kai-Lan is a little cartoon Chinese girl, on Ni hao Kailan, who plays with her friends, Tolee, Rintoo and Ho-Ho – and often talks to her Grandpa. This is a very cute show – and I really enjoy watching it with him (unlike others that I just […]

I love you, mommy.
March 24th, 2008
Mom Not only did I get a kiss, that I did NOT ask for, but it was followed by an “I love you, mommy” — wow.
Holy Word Explosion, Batman!
March 24th, 2008
Mom Wow, the words coming out of Nicholas are phenominal. I. am. loving. it. He’s using words like whistle, blanket – I can’t even think of them all now. New words we’ve never heard him use before – and they’re coming out of nowhere — he didn’t repeat us saying them! See, I knew this stuff […]
Eggs, eggs, everywhere
March 23rd, 2008
Mom Happy Easter! Before Nicholas got up, I hid about 30 plastic easter eggs all over the house. I left a few coming down the stairs and one in a basket. He immediately knew what to do. (I have no idea how) This was so incredibly cute – he started running all over and picking up […]

His […]

Mom Wow – finally, finally, finally!!!!!!!!!! Nicholas can say his own name. About half of the time when you ask him what his name is, he’ll respond with a NICK! — It’s not Nicholas, but it’s a start! Yay!!! Small victories is what this journey is all about – and I’m taking this one like a […]
UP ALL NIGHT
March 17th, 2008
Mom Ok, so starting off with 1/4 cap of the adrenal cortex extract wasn’t the right thing to do. Shit. We were up all night for the past three nights with Nicholas. In case you were wondering, I’ve stopped giving it to him and will start with a sprinkle every morning once his sleep habits to back […]

Update on Nicholas
March 14th, 2008
Mom Nicholas is doing really well. He’s playing with the other kids at school, sharing toys – now he’s even sharing stuff with us at home (food, treats, etc) – fantastic!! His eye contact is amazing- he seeks us out to look at him now, it just blows my mind. From what I hear, he really […]
