Blake has never been your “average” child. He was born too early, stayed in the hospital too long, and has somehow managed to contract illnesses that made even the pharmacists raise their eyebrows. From bronchitis to MRSA, he has kept us on our toes, our hands in our wallets, and our insurance company begging for mercy. :o)

From the very beginning Blake has always had an endless curiosity about people, places, and things. (We joke he was born early because he was nosy about what we were doing on the “outside,” and believing he was missing out on something! This would explain why he can still be a bit of a challenge at bed/naptime!) As an infant, whether it was a new toy or a new friend, his propensity has been to study it closely before deciding his next move. (To play or not to play? To smile or not to smile?) Fast forward 4-1/2 years and his curiosity and need to make sense of the world around him hasn’t changed. The only difference is that he now has the vocabulary to ask question after question until his brain is satisfied it has enough information. Sometimes he “gets” it, sometimes not. What has resulted from his exploration process are the thought provoking (and many times, hilarious!) exchanges he has with us, which I began documenting on my facebook page some time ago. After being asked over and over to create a blog, I have finally given in and welcome you to come along for the ride. You may laugh. You may cry. You may raise your eyebrows. One thing is for sure… much like everything we’ve experienced with him so far, nothing is ever “average” in LifeAccordingToBlake!!!!
