My Pinch-Hitter

-
My husband is off today which is unusual. Normally he works Saturday mornings and because he gets up really early (2:30 a.m.), he's exhausted by the time he gets home. This means he takes a nap (he falls asleep whether he wants to or not) and I have all three kids by myself for almost the full day with little relief in sight. (When he does wake from his nap, my husband is still tired and grumpy.)

Today, I get a little break. I won't have to wrestle Peter during naptime by myself. I won't have to harp at Gabrielle to clean up one of her many notorious messes. (Why is it dads can say something once in that deeper voice and kids jump to obey?) And Nathan will have another person with which to play jungle gym.

Now, if I could convince my husband to let me take a nap. . .

The suture you see running from left to right is the coronal suture that runs from right in front of one ear to the other. The sagittal should run from the middle of that suture to the back of the skull but it's not present. If it were, it would have the same zig-zagged appearance as the coronal suture. This is a side/rear view of Peter's skull. As you can see, about where the ear is there should be a suture but, again, there isn't one.

At some point I hope to purchase a web address for it and have it set up for independent hosting but at this point WordPress.com is a start. The new address is copingwithautism.wordpress.com .
