Tink Day

 
This past weekend, the Tinks were here to celebrate the Family Day holiday. I taught Liam the concept of pet yarn (cue all the knitters out there saying a collective awwww...
  

Morgan has lost her first toothand swallowed it, so she had to write a letter to the Tooth Fairy explaining what happened. Luckily, the Tooth Fairy understood

  
John/TinkPapa had told Liam to bring the Amazing Spiders book because Moster Lene find it so very fascinating. Subsequently, John is not getting any birthday present form me this year. Liam is reading at a grade 3 level already and read the word arachnophobia correctly on the first try. Which is better than I did when I first saw that word.
  
 
Morgan is the product of two chocoholics and is here seen exclaiming about how wonderful chocolate is
 
  
And then there was what can only be described as a mosh pit in a corner of the living room

Here is a great book for "damage control" that one sometimes needs when kids encouter those less friendly to the tooth fairy concept (see how discreet I'm being?).  http://www.amazon.com/Real-Tooth-Fairy-Marilyn-Kaye/dp/0152001204

It's about how the tooth fairy makes herself look like someone the child knows and trusts, so as to not scare them, should they wake up ;)    My kids loved that book!


BTW, if the tooth fairy ran out of books (she brought books to my family!), or had too many kids who lost first teeth, so ran out of time (knowing kids who were loosing their 6th teeth were mature enough to understand), she sometimes delivered a book a night or two late, with an appropriate note in the book....

Aww.  I remember losing a loose tooth when I was about Morgan's age.  Gracious, how I panicked!  Good thing the Tooth Fairy is so understanding, huh?  And it's never too early to start loving chocolate (or disliking spiders).

Farber’s Disease: Could Your Child’s Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Be Misdiagnosed?

Image
Joint inflammation or contractures. Nodules (small lumps under the skin or in other tissues). A weakened or hoarse voice. Children with these symptoms may have been diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or other types of juvenile arthritis . But do they actually have JIA or do they have Farber’s disease? An equine digression When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. This is an adage in the medical world that encourages doctors to not wander off exploring rare and esoteric reasons for a patient’s symptoms. Because most of the time, that hoof beat of a rash likely isn’t the plague, the joint pain more likely a type of arthritis than the bends (especially if the person has never scuba dived) and you get the picture. But once in a while, it actually is a zebra. And even if it’s first identified as a horse, eventually, the stripes come through. It took five years of my parents running around to different doctors before one finally recognized that I had...

Getting a diagnosis of any type of chronic illness can throw you for loop. There is so much to know and you have so little energy. My new slideshow for HealthCentral collects 13 things you need to know as an RA newbie : "Receiving a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a moment of strange duality. On one hand, you may be relieved to finally have answers for the symptoms you’ve been experiencing. On the other, it can be incredibly overwhelming to find out you have a chronic illness. Wrapping your head around all the new factors RA brings into your life is a long-term process. Here are some of the things you need to know." See the slideshow on HealthCentral .
