In the midst of some continuing troubled times with Nik’s increasing chronic pain episodes and so many moments when I feel tired and hopeless about any number of things having to do with Nik’s development and future, Nik somehow finds ways to make me smile and laugh. Or to weep with overwhelming love.
So many of these moments involve either his antics with food…
his increasing motor skills, or simply his utter adoration for his Daddy.
Of course, I completely understand the attraction. I’m just as crazy about the big guy as I am the little guy.
Thank goodness for my two anchors; when I seem to lose my way they are the beacon which guides me back home. Back to what matters most.
Simply beautiful, my friend. Sending you a hug and warm thoughts.
Nik’s smile is so infectious. So genuine. I can’t help but smile myself when I see his happiness! I completely understand what you’re saying.

that photo of Nik on the couch arm—-to die for! you’ll make it—–
I love the one of Nik and his daddy… of course I am partial to boys and their daddies.
Many hugs to you…..
Niksmom. Your pictures are simply beautiful.
But you are mistaken, if you don’t mind my saying so.
You have many, many MORE anchors. You have all of these fellow bloggers logging in every day, laughing and crying with you – loving you and your boy every single day.
Mothers. We are a powerful gang.
Very sweet. Chronic pain is so hard on everyone. I am praying for Nik. Hugs.
Oh, no, DM…you guys aren’t my anchors. You are my life preservers, my buoys, my sea rations…all the things that keep me afloat and alive as I flounder about trying to find my way back to my boys and my self!
Aw, lookit little Nik and the taco! He is all, “My taco! Okay, now how do I approach this? Hmmm…requires practice.” His warm-up bites bring a big smile to my face. What a brave little man!
So great. Love the photos…
That smile is just beautiful. Hang in there.
Isn’t there something so unbelievably satisfying about seeing your son enjoying food? Especially when food/feeding is a big issue.
