Just Alex



I love this pic.  Sometimes Alex walks around with his pants pulled up to his arm pits on purpose.  Well, I do tell him to keep his bum covered, so he's only listening.  We are at a turning point right now.  We've got to do something about Alex's weight.  He is just about 200 lbs. now.  He has high blood pressure and is border line every thing else.  I've got to put a lot more attention and time into helping him.  It seems so overwhelming, but  I just need to make a plan and go for it.  Ok, so how did he get so heavy?  No, we don't let him eat whatever, it's really been a matter of him getting more sneaky, and the other children really understanding that Alex will eat anything you set down!  He goes through backpacks when the kids get home just to make sure the kids ate everything at lunchtime.  So...................... here we go!

I love it! I wish some women I know would keep their pants up that high, I am so tired of seeing bums. He's a smart kid. I hope you guys are successful!

Good luck with Alex! You can do it! Also love your new background. Did you do it yourself? I want to "holiday" mine up a bit too!

Thanks Tammy and Christy! @Christy, the background is from www.tcbotb.com. I think that's the website. It's up in the left hand corner of my blog. I have no computer design skills. All I can pretty much do is surf the web. Oh, and copy and paste. :)
