I'm Just His Mom. What the Hell Do I Know?


As you read this post, keep in the back of your mind that Cody hates being outdoors. He also loathes flies and bees and doesn't care much for dogs or cats either.

Katelyn spotted a frog on the sidewalk the other night so she popped her head in the door to notify us. As Don and I headed outside, Cody jumped up from his chair and wanted to come. That alone is extremely out of character for Cody, but what he did next was even more unusual.


Don, forever trying to get Cody out of his comfort zone, said to him, "There's a frog out here Code. Do you want to hold it?"

Then..., you guessed it, Cody surprised us all and answered "Yes!"

It was cute. We had to keep reminding Cody not to squeeze the little amphibian, but he thoroughly enjoyed holding it.


Just when I think I'm an expert at figuring Cody out, he goes and does something like this to prove that I really know nothing at all about what goes on in that head of his.

Don't Say the F Word

The F word stands for Fly at our house. Cody (Blind) hates them! Whenever the little pests are anywhere near, he freaks. Cody feels the same way about Bee's, though with good reason. He's been stung by them three times!

One day, when my husband was shopping at Home Depot, he came across some mesh paint strainers. He thought they might make great "Bee Hats" for Cody so he brought a few home. They've been wonderful! Who knew? Now, whenever we are going to be outdoors for a long time, Cody puts the "Bee Hat" on.

At first I felt a little guilty and embarrassed for him to be in public with a paint strainer over his head, but I got over it. We might get a few weird looks, but that's okay. If Cody is content, everyone around him is content...as long as nobody says the F word :)
