~ CRAZY HOUSE ~

Yes, the title of my post is true ~ things have been nuts around here ~ not only are we all trying to adjust around here; but Anthony broke his arm Monday evening playing outside with the neighborhood kids!

It was our first ride in an ambulance and a VERY upsetting evening full of pain and tears; however it is a clean break and doesn't need surgery. Mia and Eddie stayed with my parents and of course, she was on my mind while at the hospital, "is she upset", "is she eating" , "Is she wondering where I am"??? Thank God for my wonderful parents who took care of everything (once again) and she did fine!!

It's been rough trying to cater to Anthony's needs and of course Mia needing me so much right now...also, my Eddie who was so upset seeing his brother hurt, in pain and taken away in an ambulance! We have been sticking close to home and will be for a while. My big boy is doing a bit better today and I'm sure with each day it will get easier for him...

Posted a few pic's of how Mia has NO response to a big red golden retriever running around, knocking her down with a big tail and trying to eat her Cheerios! I never imagined this little petite girl just whizzing past Penny and not giving her a second glance ~ it is quiet funny :)


















Penny sniffs Mia's drink (she still won't drink formula
or milk from a bottle or cup - only water!)














Mia checks out the big red beast with annoyance!
















"Where'd you get this big fluff ball?":Mia
"Where'd you get this little princess?": Penny

"This big 'ole puppy doesn't faze me!"

*Mia's adjustment is going very well - she seems to know I'm the mommy-type person and looks to me for comfort, hugs and giggles. She is independent and has a great sense of humor. She is very stubborn and will not eat anything still besides Cheerios, Ger@ber puffs and sometimes a little pastina; however this morning she did have a bowl of the baby oatmeal w/banana cereal. I tried to give her whole milk with a little chocolate in it and she gave me THE look! "No way mom!"

NEWS FLASH: Mia saw us eating pasta with sauce and did her moan which means "hey give me some" and she actually ATE a plate of pasta!!! We are making progress! Now if she'd only let me put the valve in the sippy cup so it doesn't spill out all over - STUBBORN!!! I guess it's better than giving sips out of a water bottle. I think this is her way of controlling some of her world ~ I just worry about her not taking formula or milk!!
