Making progress

We were able to get approved and fitted for another UCBL shoe insert for Jordan today. Hopefully that can help her get those ankles working better. The poor kid was exhausted from the combination of a late night dinner celebration for Mother’s Day, an early morning First Steps meeting and a 10:30 shoe insert fitting.…

Special Mother's Day Gift

Check this out. It may be one of the sweetest things I’ve gotten from a school project at Jordan’s school. I may have to explain what’s going on here. This is a piece of fabric to celebrate Mother’s Day… On the right side you can see her hand print. On the left side you can…

IFSP annoyances

I’m lucky to be a part of the state’s 0-3 program that helps me afford Jordan’s many therapies and care. (It took many month fighting to get her into the program) It has been a way to help me fund the little things that insurance will fight – like shoe inserts that have helped Jordan’s…

Wow. I'm an Alltop Mom!

I’ve been a mom blogger since 2004 (I started with Mom Thoughts). It isn’t as long as many people out there. I have this small little following and I love everyone who visits here. I’ve always wondered if there were ways to make sure I reach as many moms out there who have kids with…

Beautiful day

Jordan and her brother had a busy day as usual. We made a trip to church where the kids got to go to their choir practice. The choir leader says Jordan was really into it. She listened and even tried to sing along. I love that. The day started out cool, but it was perfect…

Big deal change

This morning I found Jordan hanging on for dear life on the top of her crib railing. I realized I can’t let her do that again. I can’t imagine the chance of her taking a big fall and breaking something. So… Here we are. I have a little girl sleeping in her crib that was…

Enjoying the baseball season

Jordan got to go to her brother’s first t-ball game last night. She was a little put off by the heavy winds (“There wind in my hair Momma.”). But after a while she was playing with the other younger siblings and chasing after me while I took lots and lots of pictures. The season is…

Cold turkey

Yup. The girl had to drop her lamby cold turkey today. It’s been one of many reasons for her to be stubborn at school, so obviously we had to stop bringing it to school. But I’m still a little sad. I can handle her crying about it on her way to school. I’m more sad…
