Family time

February 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Family, February08, School, Words, jordan

Jordan got to enjoy a surprise visit from Uncle Barry and Beth yesterday. She was so excited when she saw her Uncle. The coolest thing: She knew who he was before we had to tell her. That’s pretty special. By the end of their visit, Jordan was calling him “Beardy” with periodic proper pronunciations. Very [...]

That was kind of wierd

February 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments · February08, Reflections, jordan

I took Jordan to the grocery store today. Just as we were walking in I noticed a table of Girl Scouts selling cookies. That was no big deal, but I immediately recognized my OB-GYN who almost delivered Jordan (she kind of flew out on her own… seconds before my doctor ran into the room). Anyway. [...]

What a big girl!

February 20th, 2008 · No Comments · February08, Swimming, jordan

Two weeks ago we started Jordan on swimming lessons. Four lessons later and today Miss Boo kicked butt. We got into the water and she instantly started kicking. BIG splashes. She did so well. This swim school puts short tables into the water so the little kids can stand in the water. The idea is [...]

One little thing

February 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Family, February08

Say a prayer for my Aunt Jan. She’s amazing and battling cancer. She has battled and battled and continues to kick it’s butt. She’s currently going through an experimental treatment that left her a bit fried and somehow still with us. I just talked to her on the phone and I just want to make [...]

Ten Percent Rule

February 19th, 2008 · No Comments · February08, Friends, Questions, School, jordan

Randy threw this one at me and I think he may be right… I just don’t spend time dwelling on it: Ten percent of parents are totally cool with being around Jordan. They don’t care she’s missing some of her arm and they just know she’s a kid and it’s obvious her family loves her. [...]

Found a new way to play with pictures

February 17th, 2008 · No Comments · February08, Scrapblog, Valentines08, jordan

Click here if you want to see it bigger. You can build multiple pages and then Scrapblog creates a little power point presentation of all of your scrapbook pages. It’s cute. I’ve always been jealous of those people who create beautiful scrapbook pages on their computer. I’m a bit busy to really get detailed, but [...]

Getting brave

February 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Brave, Cameron, February08, Playing, jordan

Jordan had a ball egging her brother on today… They ended up playing pretty well right before bed time. But the big moment was when Cameron jumped onto the little toy rocking horse that sits in the living room. Jordan has been wary of it… Until now. With my help, she got on and had [...]

She is a different kid

February 13th, 2008 · No Comments · February08, School, Swimming, jordan

Lately everyone at Jordan’s school has commented how similar she is to her brother. She is stubborn, she thinks she knows what is right and DANG IT she will do it her own way. Apparently she is willing to throw tantrums like he did (and honestly, still does). But tonight proved she’s a different kid. [...]

"I fart"

February 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Church, Farts, February08, Words, jordan

As I continue to try and teach Jordan about how to manger her bodily functions… This weekend she made it clear that she understands what a fart is. Every time she does it, she makes sure we ALL know it. “I fart! Mommy, I fart!” “Great Jordan. Can you say excuse me?” “I fartcuzme!” Today [...]

Weekend, sweet weekend

February 8th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Bed Time, February08, Shoe Tying, jordan

I just got Jordan down to bed… She made sure she tried to keep me in her room longer by asking for “Moh rubs. Moh sawngs.” She wanted more backrubs and more of my lullaby songs. Sorry Boo… It was time for bed. She was so tired that she was going to cry but decided [...]

I’m fried

February 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Cameron, February08, Music, Prosthetic, School, Swimming, jordan

The combination of election coverage and Randy not feeling well this week has left me running out of steam. But a couple of neat things have happened this week: Last night Jordan, Cam and I went to Cam’s school for Music Night. First graders and Kindergarteners got to show off the cool stuff they do [...]

It was only her second haircut ever!! We’ve seen an increased drive for independence — Yesterday Jordan threw her first SOLID tantrum in the [...]
