What are some of these toy makers thinking? Are they trying to scar our children? I mean I had a sock monkey, and I thought it was the creepiest thing ever. Now they have jack in the boxes that feature sock monkies. I saw one at Cracker Barrel, and now they’re at Target. They’re multiplying!… read more »
Valentine’s Day sucks for my oldest son. Almost every thing is laden in artificial red dye. A substance that he can’t consume because it makes him exhibit symptoms of hyper activity, irritability, and severe impulsiveness. Being the good mom I try to be, I have been trying to come up with a way to make… read more »
*This is not a sponsored post. This is just because I had an awesome experience and wanted to share.* We’ve had ThinkFun games in our house since we purchased Zingo! for our oldest child about five years ago. Zingo! has provided, and continues to provide, countless hours of family fun. It’s a game we all… read more »
Aaron had his first day of preschool last Friday. I was admittedly a little nervous because we will be utilizing the transportation offered, and it’s the first time he’s ever ridden in a vehicle with someone else driving. I wasn’t worried so much about school because, well, they know he’s autistic, and that’s the whole… read more »
I have to admit that when we got the paperwork back saying that Aaron is moderately autistic, I was a bit surprised. Then last night happened, and I see it more. Aaron had been asking for two weeks to go to Chili’s. Since their service has gotten better, we’ve been going once in awhile again…. read more »
Today I finish the paperwork for my baby to start school. (We did the IEP last week, and today is the health plan. They make you do those when your kid has asthma.) They call it a play group. Potato, potahto. All I know is that starting next week, as long as Mother Nature cooperates,… read more »
This week was crazy! The kids held up surprisingly well through it all. I held up surprisingly well through it all. -The boys and I all had chiropractic adjustments. I call them attitude adjustments for the boys. It’s amazing how they are after. -My nutrition consult went OK. I’m just now starting to eat the… read more »
I have a love/hate relationship with autism. Sometimes I love that my boys have zero sense of social expectations. It makes for some hilarious moments. Especially when someone is giving us dirty looks and my oldest loudly points out one of their physical flaws. I call those situations Karma. And Karma is a bitch because… read more »
Over Christmas break we also did a craft. We made candy necklaces. I found some kits at Michael’s that didn’t contain red dye, so I got them for something for the kids to do. It killed thirty minutes, and actually calmed them down. The boys had spent the morning running around playing “Who Can Drive… read more »
We had one of those days. One of those days where it’s clearly time for school to be back in session and everyone to get back on a normal schedule. Aaron is getting squirrely because he’s used to daytime being his, and his alone. He can play what he wants, watch what he wants, and… read more »
