This is something that bugged me the last time Morgan changed schools. You get a sheaf of forms from the new school, in which you need to enter all kinds of information. Name, who does the child live with, address (so far so good), phone numbers, emergency contacts, alternate people to contact if they can’t [...]

Amazing!
Today the most awesome thing happened. My son slept in until I woke him up.
In fact, he didn’t even get up until after I went into his room to wake him. Normally, now that he’s on his new medication he will get up early. I mean really unbelievably early. I’m already getting up earlier to [...]

Am I starting to have “faith” because I’m intellectually lazy? Do I want to shuffle off responsibility for things on to some remote god that I can blame for things? It sure might take the pressure off me if there was a god. Things happen. They have nothing to do with me (or are not [...]

Morgan is trying a new medication. We started him on a free sample presciption on Monday March 6, when he was on Spring Break. We wanted to start him out when we could watch him ourselves and assess the right dose. We started him on one 5 mg pill for a couple of days, then [...]

That’s what Morgan was saying for a couple of days after we went to the annual Plano Balloon Festival. He really loved it, and was eagerly anticipating it (translation: he bugged the hell out of us asking for hot air balloons every day for two or three days, every half hour to hour, nonstop…).
We actually [...]

Morgan loves electricity!
