This is just what you needed. It is just what we needed. It has happened a couple of times over the last week and it was right on time. As I have said in previous posts, this time of year is the busiest time for our family. I joke with folks in July that it will be October by the time I know who or where I am again.

So what was this little something? Well, Monkey laughed. It was great. We were sitting in the bed getting some work done one night and we heard it. We didn’t know what it was at first and then we checked the monitor. Monkey was wiggling around and giggling with a little smile on his face. Fantastic! Made our month, our week, day, hour, year. And it’s happened more than once.

We got a small sample, listen close, you’ll hear a little giggle. MOV_7007.MOV

That makes me smile. One of those I can’t stop it from happening kind of smiles. I know it might not seem like much, but that is super awesome.

In other news, sorry for the long gap. It’s been busy. I’ve started back to graduate school, Monkey has therapy, Princess has gymnastics, work, work, homework. You know, life. I’ll try to get back on something more regular soon.

Other awesomeness, we now know of three other children with lissencephally. Two of them are of the same family in a place not so far from where we live. The third, that we found out about first, was actually on the NBC Nightly News one evening. Check he and his brother out here. There is something beyond awesome when it comes our children and their siblings.

Also, thanks for reading. I’ve talked to several people lately who have enjoyed reading. Glad to know that as I sit here writing pretending someone is listening to my thoughts, that someone is. Hope you continue to enjoy.
