well, that's what A.M. said! I have NO idea what she means. Hurt? Titillate?

The Menagerie Family

VeeGee doesn't name her stuffed animals (and doesn't like dolls for some reason). She has a lineup that goes everywhere with us () that includes Charlie (a tiny white and black dog that I named), "Brown Monkey" (who is white), "Other Brown Monkey" (who is brown), "Elephant," and "Mahma Bear" (panda bear). In this little family "Charlie" is the baby, "Mahma Bear" is daddy (because they're both black and white, I assume, and K and VeeGee are basically carbon copies of each other), and "Other Brown Monkey" is mommy. : They're always hugging each other and saying, "I miss you so much!"

Catch Phrase

VeeGee has been saying "oh mo mo may" forever. I never knew what it meant until the other day when I was watching Diego with her. Turns out she was saying "Ayúdame" - which means "Help Me."

Great! I've been ignoring her pleas for help all this time!

You Know You're The Parent of a Kiddo With Special Needs

when . . .

You're just so thrilled to see poop at all that you don't mind cleaning it up!

Or you've quit worrying about telling people what her trach does and started just telling them it's a necklace. . . . And you don't hesitate grabbing somebody else's kid who decides they'd like to take that necklace.

Or you answer that stranger's pitying, "Oh is she okay?" question with, "Yep, just fine, and you?"

Or you've quit worrying about the vomit streaks on your clothing "as long as it doesn't smell too bad."
