If you know me, you know that I like my sleep. This is not always compatible with the Fragile X life. At 3:45, I hear a cheerful, "Good Morning, Mommy!" I groaned and said, "Go back to bed, Blake." He asked for some juice, so I told him to go get a a drink of his juice in the fridge then go back to bed. He said, "Ok, Mommy," again, all cheery and awake-like. And of course, as I have blogged a million times, you can probably guess the ending of the story. I got up and down with him forty-eleven times and tried all my tricks, to no avail. Finally, I gave up at 5:00. I have rules, you know. And one of them is that we don't get up for the day before 5:00. And 4:59 is not okay. Anyway, Blake is still be-bopping around four hours later, and I am considering my caffeine options.
Good Housekeeping printed an article by an uncle of a family with Fragile X. I think it is a worthwhile read. Here's the link: The Never Empty Nest

Had a friend email us about this article. However, I just now read it. To be honest, not sure what I think of it...maybe cause it's past my bedtime and I wanted a 'warm fuzzy' feeling....Hmmmmm. Glad you posted it.
I just read that article last night and thought of you, so I said a quick prayer to bless everyone who lives that type of situation daily.
Great site very informative I enjoyed it thank you…cheers Peter
