SMARDy Pants: June 2015
http://smardypants.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
How you can help. Sunday, June 21, 2015. Germs, Babies and Students. Nate likes talking to things. Anything really but he has 3 particular favorites: his "class", babies and germs. The more normal thing he loves is babies or as Nate likes to say "I love babies infinity". Here Nate insisted Liam join him and his cousin Callie as they colored and read books. Nevertheless, Nate still loved and loves every minute of hanging out with his baby cousins. How could you not, they're cute times infinity. It happene...

SMARDy Pants: May 2015

How you can help. Sunday, May 3, 2015. I'm going to let you all in on a secret. Cabin fever can happen without even needing a cabin. While Nate was sick we weren't able to leave the house much and with our apartment being small enough to make Thumbelina explode in claustrophobic rage, you can imagine how things were starting to feel for us. He loves the stars and space so I asked him if he wanted to be an astronomer. He said no and told me what he wanted to be. I asked him to tell me again. He also found...

SMARDy Pants: October 2014
http://smardypants.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
How you can help. Tuesday, October 7, 2014. There comes a time in every little boy's life when he finally becomes aware. For Nate, it was about 2 weeks ago and he is obsessed. He can't get enough and will watch it whenever we let him. For those of you who can't pick out what movie is Nate glued to based on a single frame, it's Star Wars Empire Strikes Back. He loves Star Wars and consumes it in every form he can (that we'll allow); books, toys, movies, shows. Posted by Scott, Annie, and Nathaniel Green.

SMARDy Pants: March 2015
http://smardypants.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
How you can help. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Nate (I'm guessing like most 4/5 year olds) loves to question and learn. He loves to learn so much that his favorite thing to do for weeks now has been to hold classes at home with his friends. Meet Nate's class. He'll often quiz them as well and makes sure they raise their hands first since he has a problem with that himself in preschool. He asks them about the material and then he or Annie will come up with answers for them. Bunny: "Crunching on a carrot.".

SMARDy Pants: April 2015
http://smardypants.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
How you can help. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Since Nate has had such a hard time of it lately we decided it was time for him to get his first (and only) pet. Last week, while heading to physical therapy a lead bug landed on Nate's knee. He was out of his mind excited about it and pleaded with Annie to contain it. Annie grabbed a plastic container and they brought him home. Nate named him Buggie and they were fast friends. At first I thought maybe it was kind of cheating for him to use his power chair in the...

SMARDy Pants: July 2015
http://smardypants.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
How you can help. Sunday, July 26, 2015. If you were curious about who wins the "Most Incredible Mom Award" then I can answer that. It's Annie. She sealed the win today when she put Nate's trach back into his neck while standing hunched over in our van on the freeway. Somehow Nate's trach popped out while we were heading to my parent's house and as you can imagine, the situation needed to be handled fairly quickly. I would submit that you cannot. That doesn't mean it wasn't a great time though. We did so...

SMARDy Pants: February 2015
http://smardypants.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
How you can help. Monday, February 23, 2015. It's been awhile since we blogged last because the holidays kicked our teeth in. I, of course, mean that in the most literally metaphorical way possible. It took us until the end of January to fully recover and ever since then we've spent any free time lying on the floor trying to conserve as much energy as possible. Here's a brief timeline of the holiday events that destroyed us:. Week before Thanksgiving - Annie gets terrible cold. I know that it looks reall...

SMARDy Pants: Nate's Story
http://smardypants.blogspot.com/p/nates-story.html
How you can help. Nate was born on April Fools Day, fooling us all into thinking he was perfectly healthy! He was born full-term but was a little small, 5lb 14oz. He was discharged the next day and everything seemed great. He was strong, eating great, gaining weight, no reason for us to worry. We were living the dream. When he was 3-4 months he stopped wanting to nurse as much. Then all of a sudden it seemed like he didn't want to nurse at all. After the surgery, things seemed better. Our main concern at...
