The Happy Life of Mommy2Alex

Happy Tuesday! I'm sitting here sipping on my venti Pumpkin Spice latte - yep that says three shots on there, got me an extra shot of espresso to cut the sweetness, mmmmm that's the ticket, yum!


Took Alex to the doctor yesterday, such a great visit - love our pediatrician (he was recommended to us by the district's psychologist), he took so much time chatting with me about Alex's diagnosis (this was the first time we've seen him since Alex was medically diagnosed on the spectrum). First, Alex weighed in at 75.5 lbs and 50.5" tall - WOW! He has sinus drainage, all clear, whew! He has an ear infection in his right ear and liquid in his left. He hasn't complained about them hurting since Sunday, except when Dr. put the scope in, so he's taking a little Amoxacillan like a champ! And we're keeping our friend running at night:

While we were there, Dr. asked us to try giving Alex probiotics for ASD since there's been some research shown that it helps with behaviors, he's on dose 2 today - we're going to keep trying for two months (that's how many pills we have) and see if there's any change (they don't hurt for him to take them, anyone can take them, they're from the health food store, all natural, so we'll see).

Am I a nerd for making this: (don't answer - hehe!)

Just trying to make my lil man smile - it worked!

Okay, the haircut (I don't take good pictures, especially if I'm the one being the photographer!):


Here are a few sneakie-peakies from my craft room.
Table skirts/curtains:

Fun to add to skirts/curtains (still haven't figured out how, but I'll get there!):

Wall art:


Tomorrow is the first day of October, so we're going to get to decorating! Got Alex's Halloween costume last night: (it's Aniken Skywalker - he doesn't like the plastic masks, learned that last year as a Ninja Turtle, so he picked this one!)


Picked up this green glass footed bowl at a thrift store, going to pull these picks apart and put the goodies in there:


Hubs had a bad day yesterday, so I stopped at the "party" store to get him some treats:


So that's what's going on here at casa Buhl! Thanks for stopping by!!
