  1. So glad you did the meme!

    Bryce sounds so cute. He also sounds really articulate for his age. Many of his answers, like how he described low and high blood sugar, impressed me.

    And I love a boy who loves his mama!!!! :)

  3. Blog is a weird name!!! LOL. It is kind of weird come to think of it.

    Heidi is right...he is articulate and extremely knowledgeable re: diabetes and the management...the "glucagon numbers" that he worries about got to me.
