Confessions

The only makeup I own was given to me by my then 10 year old niece (who is now 13)

I own 4 pairs of shoes – tennis shoes, Birkenstocks, fuzzy merrels for when it’s cold, and uggs for when it’s colder. That’s my entire shoe repertoire

My purse is nathans diaper bag. I own no purses.

We don’t have a blow dryer or an iron in our house.

I not only enjoy, I LOVE studying and learning – yes, I am that geeky

New study published on vaccines

Delayed acquisition of neonatal reflexes in newborn primates receiving a thimerosal-containing Hepatitis B vaccine: Influence of gestational age and birth weight

This is an interesting publication further proving the relationship between vaccines and neurological problems. It also takes into account birth weight and gestational age.

The conclusion is that there IS a correlation between vaccines and the acquisition of reflexes. Vaccinated primates acquired their reflexes much slower than non-vaccinated primates. The most delayed where infants with low gestational age and birth weight.

And the evidence accumulates!!!

More Merry Muscles

Guess what? I found out today that there is a size 2 Merry Muscles! How very cool is that?

Here’s the link: Merry Muscles for Special Needs

So for all of you who were interested but were worried that it would be too small for their child -worry no more!

We’re sending ours back so we can get the size 2. I can’t wait.

I really really really like this for Nathan. It’s a way for him to be upright, for him to receive vestibular stimulation, to connect movement in his body with movement in space. Plus he enjoys it! We put him in it while watching TV and he’s the happiest camper – and honestly, if he’s gonna watch TV, I’d rather him watch in the merry muscles than sitting on the couch, wheelchair, or in any other position. All in all – a win win situation!

And for those of you wondering how Nathan is doing … this video was taken today, so you can see for yourself what a quick recovery he’s had!!!
