Elliott has been invited to his first birthday party. One of his classmates is celebrating their birthday tomorrow and Elliott will be in attendance.  This is a milestone in his life and I'm thrilled to death that he gets to have this experience.  Is it inappropriate for one of us to stay with him? I mean, who drops their child off at a strangers house and leaves? We don't known these people yet and so that makes them strangers, right? What would you do?

I'm the worst parent ever. I forgot that we needed cereal and so the kids don't have any cereal for breakfast this morning.  To further solidify my above statement about being the worst parent ever, the boys are having pumpkin pie for breakfast. Please help me not to feel so bad. Have you ever had a morning like this? Have you kids ever had something unusual for breakfast?

Elliott dislikes brushing his teeth.  He does better since using the Sonicare toothbrush but he doesn't like to brush for the full two minutes.  Last night, Elliott brushed his teeth for the full two minutes and was still brushing when the toothbrush turned itself off.  Heck yeah Elliott.  He says he wants to brush four whole minutes in the morning.  :-)

This is the last batch of pictures from this year's Lost and Tired family Thanksgiving.  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and if you are going to venture on Black Friday, please be careful and patient.

Elliott had a rough time today.  This poor child already has anxiety issues and now he's become paranoid about this tree nut allergy. It's so bad that he refused to eat today. He had a bowl of cereal this morning and that was it. He's so afraid to eat because he doesn't want to accidentally eat something that cause him an anaphylaxis response. The entire time we were there I was sitting in a quiet room with Elliott who didn't want to be around anyone. I don't know how to help him. I keep reassuring him that we are being very careful and that if we tell him he can eat something, than its safe for him to eat. This is my Dad trying to comfort Elliott and get him…

When you see these pictures, can you see what I see?
