life in pictures

 This is such a glimpse of daily living...trying to help Josiah face tasks that seem overwhelming at first glance without him breaking down and giving up.  He did end up putting this puzzle together, all by himself.  His smile of accomplishment made it worth it!!

 With gluten out of the picture, it has been easier for us to spot lingering food issues, especially with corn derivatives.  Most powdered sugar is made with cornstarch, an ingredient we have found really inhibits Josiah's impulse control.  We found a way around it, thanks to help from some other Feingold friends who helped me brainstorm.  Grind up regular sugar in the food processor and proceed as usual!!
There is a reason why he loves cooking SO MUCH: taste tests. 

 A boy and his dog...I was asked to please take this picture.

 I think this was a self-portrait?  Rachel has lost all but one of her baby teeth.  I have a sinking feeling we will soon have two children in braces.

The boys like to act out "I love to laugh" from Mary Poppins.  Josiah is supposed to laugh so hard he rises into the air...  It is so much fun to have boys almost 8 years apart and see them enjoy each other.
