Finding Ninee » Sharing our parenting and special needs stories with heart and humor.

  • Henriette - Reminds me of O moving to the States. Born and raised between skyscrapers in Shanghai – turned out she was horrified of birds. And leaves. And ants.

  • Sara - Next time you come to Colorado we’ll take Tucker to the Butterfly pavilion and their Things That Can Kill You (or Creep You Out) wing. We’ll let Rosie the tarantula crawl up my arm, then his arm, and show him it’s all okay and kinda flippin’ cool.October 19, 2012 – 10:09 pmReplyCancel

  • Henriette - Girl, we have all been there! You won’t believe all the silly things I have done to win the battle of toothbrush vs Olivia. And we also have a nice collection of toothbrushes ranging from Dora to Disney princesses to Diego and spongebob squarepants ( what’s up with that freak?! ), electrial to manual. I just keep reminding myself – it will get better! 🙂October 10, 2012 – 8:25 pmReplyCancel

I apologize for the lack of posts for two days.  I’ve been crazy busy trying to remember how to be a non-lapsed professional and remembering why that’s important. I have a couple of almost-complete posts ready to go, but have vowed to not subject you to them until I am able to proof them with […]
