Silas is passed out on the couch right now, I’m not sure whether to move him to his bed or not. He’s all nestled in there and he looks so peaceful. I’ll move him in a bit I think. I just wanna crawl in and snuggle him. So yesterday Isaac was preoccupied with with CD… Continue reading More ABC’s

Well, That Was Interesting…
So, day one with the psychologist went well. He’s a great guy and he’s very well qualified to do what he’s doing. I liked him very much. These questions that they give you, things you don’t think about when your first child isn’t typicial. I don’t realize how far off the realm of “typical” that… Continue reading Well, That Was Interesting…
I know I know I know
Oooops, I kinda forgot about you folks :). My days have been a bit crazy, Silas and Ikey aren’t getting along so well so…I forgot. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Still love me? Annnywhoooo. So today I go to the clinic all by my lonesome and sit with the psychologist for two hours and talk about Silas. … Continue reading I know I know I know
TGIF
I have head phones on right now with blaring music so I can’t hear my kiddos screaming. So much for a quiet nap time. I hope Ikey falls asleep. He’s teething right now so he’s having trouble with his nap. Silas is just grouchy pants. Grrrrrrr. I need some time off. Oh well. Anyway, lots… Continue reading TGIF
Getting a Grip
I’m so at the end of my rope today. I want to smash things. I want to cut myself. I want to yell and scream and kick holes in the walls. So…instead of bitching…I’m going to focus on the good for a moment to calm myself down. Good things: 1. I have a delicious, wonderful… Continue reading Getting a Grip

So, today I decided to try out this preschool thingy that was near our home. It’s a free drop in for anyone and it’s kinda like pre-school but the parents stay. I was really dissappointed in it actually. The head lady did a lot of stuff wrong…like using force to get my kids to do… Continue reading Untitled
Mr Grouchy Pants
Starting yesterday Silas has gotten extremely grouchy and irritated. I hope it’s not the gfcf thing…hope hope hope. He’s just GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. *sigh* I’m so so so so so looking forward to therapy with him. I can’t wait to start seeing changes in him and start seeing him at his full potential. I just cannot WAIT!… Continue reading Mr Grouchy Pants
I’ll have a new brain please…and a side of sanity…
After a rough morning I wondered weather or not I should write what happened here or just journal it. This isn’t the easiest thing to write but this blog is about being authentic and about saying things that most people are to scared or embarrassed to say so people don’t feel alone. It’s been a… Continue reading I’ll have a new brain please…and a side of sanity…
Funny Kid
Ahhh the glorious glow after having an adjustment from the chiro. It gives me a delicious endorphine rush which truly makes me happy. I think I’ll have to get the hips done one more time but I just feel more…aligned. Silas was so stinking funny there. I was on my tummy and the dr had… Continue reading Funny Kid
Ouchy
All of this cleaning I’ve been doing had lead to my stupid sciatic nerve flairing up. My hips have needed adjusting for about a year now so I’ve finally decided to let myself pay for it and get it done. Stupid sciatica, it sure hurts a lot! I really want to go grocery shopping, like… Continue reading Ouchy
Bye GFCF
So, after lots of thought and conversation, Brent and I decided to stop the gluten and casien free diet because we’re really not seeing much change in him. He’s progressed with language but just at his normal rate. So, we’ve stopped with the expectation of maybe having to start again. But he’s been his usually… Continue reading Bye GFCF
Hyperlexia?
There a messageboard that I go to that’s all about autism. We talk about everything there. Some woman mentioned her son’s fascination with letters and spelling so I told her my son was like that also. To that she replies: ” I know- you don’t see it very often- it is called hyperlexia- look it… Continue reading Hyperlexia?
Private Practice Scores a Big, Fat ZERO
Anyone watch Private Practice last night? If you did, you’ll know why I feel rather insulted by it. If not, let me catch you up on what happened. The show was about a mother of three sons. Her eldest has autism and the other two kids are typical. They’ve just returned from Europe where her… Continue reading Private Practice Scores a Big, Fat ZERO
A Meeting
On Tuesday someone from Child Development Services came to do an intake so Silas can get on the waiting list to be in their supported child development program. Meaning they provide support with preschool up to Kindergarten. She had a million questions about his development because she needs to categorize him. There’s three stages: 1… Continue reading A Meeting
Wipe Wipe Wipe
I’ve been on a cleaning frenzy these past few days. Just trying to get all the stuff done that I never do. Like wipe. I’ll spare you the details of how filthy the water was…and perhaps that it was filthier than the floor water. Kid’s grimy hands all over my walls. The nerve. Any hard… Continue reading Wipe Wipe Wipe
