All I can say is how in shock about how this evening turned out-It seemed as though it was not going to be positive and it turned out GREAT!

Really happy with my life and the path I am on...Are you?

I want to write something very mean in this spot, but I must bite my tongue because it's not worth it to be a b'word.

Do you mind if I post a link to my Avon site once a week? http://cmelcher.avonrepresentative.com/

only a tiny portion of the much larger number of Facebook users have opted-in to making their Facebook activity public. But Facebook has an explicit agenda to change that.

Wonderful days to come - Wonderful family and friends to enjoy

The joys in a child

Are wonderful…

My nephew has learned so much in the short time we have had him.

When he got here he said Wow and Tickle tickle (at 19 months he should have said much more). Now he says:

Uh-oh, thank you, your welcome, choo choo, Ph Ph Ph (for please), aunty, the boys name, he throws out his hands for I don’t know and where is it (he), bye bye, I love you, hi, and sprout

There are more, but it’s so wonderful to see him grow so much in this short time.

He also now gives hugs and kisses. He runs up to people just to hug them and kiss them.

We went to a pumpkin patch and he was giving the animals hugs it was adorable. He has hugged a stuffed animal for the first time recently too.

We believe that he was suffering from “Failure to Thrive” –http://www.webmd.com/parenting/tc/child-maltreatment-symptoms

Failure to thrive, which is when a child's growth pattern is not in a healthy range. Both weight and height can be affected, but low weight for height and head circumference is the most common symptom. Most cases of failure to thrive are the result of problems with the immediate care of the child, the interaction between the child and the caregiver (usually the mother), or the social and emotional health of the caregiver.

Very happy now to see this child who will be 2 (in Feb) becoming a strong responsive individual.

Food and keeping track

How easy is it to get off track when you don’t monitor what you eat? VERY.

I am going to start tracking again. I have noticed that if I don’t then I cannot accurately gauge what goes into my mouth on a daily basis.

I want to keep this weight off and lose more and I can’t do it if I don’t keep track.

What kind of day will tomorrow bring? Your guess is as good as mine. Happy to have a happy home filled with childrens' play and laughter
