Reasons Why I Love...: December 2011
http://reasonswhyilove.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Reasons Why I Love. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Reason #'s 1,290 and 3,537. Alternate title 'Happy New Year 2012'. Reason #'s 1,290 and 3,537. Alternate title 'Happy New Year 2012'. As I posted on my page. What a long, strange trip its been. The kiddos are sleeping, and nothing really prophetic with them has happened today. Bean made me promise to wake them up at Midnight for a celebration, but, quite frankly, we all know they will not wake up. Confidences made and confidences broken. I am sure of it.

Reasons Why I Love...: April 2012
http://reasonswhyilove.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Reasons Why I Love. Monday, April 30, 2012. Reason # 3,655. Many times, I just have no idea what is going on in my little hoarders head. She collects. VERY random stuff. Obsessively. Lately, her obsession has been the little red sticks that come in the cheese and cracker snack packs. She has about eight so far. They drive me crazy and I've dreamed of just throwing them out. A Chair. A Dollhouse. A tribute to Justin Bieber. Something Pokemon related. Anyone want to buy a stick house? The bidding is open.

Reasons Why I Love. Friday, March 30, 2012. Reason #. I don't know the number. Reason #. I don't know the number. I've always assigned a number to the the date, but for this one it's just a projected date. a maybe. a hope. a promise. that I don't know will be fulfilled. Bean is handling her re-trach, physically, with flying stars. But, emotionally, she is a wreck. I'm a wreck, too. I assure her that she is still the amazing, dancing, foolish, outgoing girl that is 'Ellie'. But, she's not totally buying it.

Reasons Why I Love. Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Reason # 3,760. Claiming your own reality. Reason # 3,760. Claiming your own reality. I had a very sad conversation with a stranger at the grocery store. It was an exchange that forced me to remember some things that are so diatant, that they really don't feel real to me. A woman walked into the store behind Beanie, JJ and myself. She tapped me lightly on the shoulder and asked me if I would mind if she asked me a question. No you didn't just go there! I imme...

Reasons Why I Love...: September 2011
http://reasonswhyilove.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Reasons Why I Love. Tuesday, September 27, 2011. One of the challenges of raising a Hearing Impaired/Speech Delayed child is that their language is not always yours. The primary language in our household is English, with Signing as support. Beans primary language at school is English, with Signing as support. Is it a place? Is it a person? Is it big or small? Can you show me where it is? Can you act it out? Can you be totally frustrated? Tonight, it was about her "run" at school tomorrow. Reason # 1,191.
