Green Clean

Okay first off - I am in love with this cleaner and I love that I can customize my own scents.... I have used it on tile, my tables, granite counter tops, cook top, outside furniture,etc etc..



Here is the recipe..

empty 32 oz spray bottle



2cups water

1⁄2 cup distilled white vinegar

1teaspoon pure castile soap (peppermint is my favorite) --- Target has Dr. Brommers in the beauty section or Check out HEB, whole foods. Also vitamin shops

3⁄4 cup hydrogen peroxide

20 drops tea tree oil

20 drops of lavender or lemongrass essential oil (or your fav scent-- I like lemon eucalyptus)



A little goes a long way and it really cleans!!! No residue and smells fabulous.



Some new things that we are trying for our Ty Ty... there are just some really great days and days I think I will never get a thing done. I have decided to give the meds a chance, but I am still a little hesitant. Only because I know Ty is capable of good choices and needs to learn. With that said I realize I cannot jump into his little noggin and make the connections... so week one... some change in behavior and some of his regular naughty stuff.



I am a firm believer that it can be worse!!! I remember how badly we wanted him to sit, then crawl, then walk... I have mental lists of what things we want him to accomplish. But, its all going to happen in time.

For the first time we took him to the mall - without a stroller, leash,etc. He learned a kangeroo, alligator and now imitates them. He hates stripes!!! He is my fashion conscience child. He knows the color Black and white. He does not just high five, but high 10s!!! Its too cute.



I am also thrilled to have caring, compassionate people around me that get it. I could care less what miss priss at Target thinks when I am practicing with Ty...it sounds as though I am training a dog, but I am training Ty. He is getting so much better and has even recently survived a trip to Walmart- which stresses me out.



The moments that are funny--- he now says "dont worry we go to store"- if something spills, we are out of something or something is broken. Husker thinks thats from my side and I have to agree. He has also coined the phrase - "ah geez", "crazy" and "don't worry". which is frequently heard while driving with me. Pop-Pop Pete taught him "you funny" from Indiana Jones. Finally- he has finally named one of his dogs... We have 2 black labs, 2 mixed puppies and finally heidi (who appropriately looks like Husker's boxer).

Ant and Pj are so patient with him and we are definitly aware of how tough it is for them. The best thing we ever did was to make their rooms their rooms only. Ty ty has to stay out and they are able to shut their door. It makes for a much more peaceful environment and I do not hear can you come get Ty. They know to lock their door. At night they do not, but Ty is going to sleep,too.

Thats all for now... I need to finish this pocket chart...
