Caffeinated Randomness - My Pumpkin

6:50 AM | Posted by Michelle | Edit Post

I'm sad! This is our last Caffeinated Randomness. I vow though to continue with my silliness on Fridays anyway.

As this weekend is Halloween, I thought I would post a video of my dear son Thomas when he was first learning to walk, which coincided with Halloween. He started walking at 20 months. That was the year he fit into the Pumpkin costume that my grandmother had made my cousin 14 years before (I can't wait for Sam to wear it next year). Don't try to turn up your volume. There is no sound as our camera at the time only took the video no sound bits.

Tonight we have our Fall Festival (aka Halloween Party) at Church. I'll post pictures tomorrow of my Beauty, Buzz and little Lion.

UPDATE: I want to thank all of you for your prayers and wishes yesterday during for Thomas' hearing test. He cooperated as well as a tired strong willed 3 year old will, however, we managed to rule out a blockage and he can hear at normal levels. This leaves us with pitches which we will have to continue to go to assessments for. I'll keep you updated.

I wish...........

I was on Andrea's blog today and saw the quiz she took, so I'm copying her. Some of the following may be true, but time to focus on the little things.....that's a laugh.

Your Home Says That You Feel Settled and Calm

You come across as very intellectual. People take your wisdom seriously.

Your hygiene is passable, but you may be hiding some dirty secrets.

You are a very domestic person. You enjoy decorating, cooking, and making things homey.

You are not a nurturing person by nature, but you can easily take care of someone you truly love.

You feel settled in your life. You have enough time to focus on little details.

You are a very self sufficient person. You can get along well without much help.

Your friends see you as insightful, encouraging, and progressive.

PS - I'll keep you all posted about the hearing test later tonight.

I know that today is Wednesday's Voice, but we have had some technical difficulties. Ok, I can't open the document from Aunt Dieny. As soon as she sends me a new one, I will post it for you.

I do have to ask you all for prayers. Leroy and I found out last week that our Thomas may have a hearing problem. I took him for speech assessment last week. The speech therapist at the end of the speech test, recommended a hearing test as she felt there was a hearing problem. We have both struggled with this over the week. We are hoping that there is only a blockage that tubes would be able to clear, however, we both know that there is a possibility for a more serious problem.

Pray that Thomas is cooperative with the test tomorrow, as those who know him, know how stubborn he can get when he doesn't want to do something.

Please pray that God gives us strength tomorrow to deal with the results of the hearing test and to take the steps necessary to move towards a better future for Thomas.
