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
Squirt
Isaac loves it when I use the squirter bottle and squirt it in his mouth and on his face. He thinks it’s the BOMB. Anyway, at the end of the Jr game last night Isaac took away our attention with the squirt bottle…he figured it out himself… Thank goodness we just got a new camcorder!!
Bring Christmas Back!
Will someone bring Christmas back? We’ll start on Christmas eve and do it all over again. I’m totally willing to make another turkey dinner. We went to my parent’s house this Christmas. The one they had just built and moved into a week before. It was fabulous to be in “our” new home. So much… Continue reading Bring Christmas Back!

Life Skills
My sister lead me to this really interesting quote that I really do like. From Tumbling Over The Edge: A Rant For Children’s Play by Bev Bos and Jenny Chapman. “Intellectual development and the skills of reading, writing and arithmetic are areas,which cause parents and politicians to fret and fume over the apparent regression of… Continue reading Life Skills

The time it took to dress and undress them was much longer than the time it took to play….

I’m a bit of a weirdo with phones. I don’t like them very much. I don’t like calling strangers. I don’t really call my friends. I haven’t even really called family much lately either…I still love you guys. So, the other day when my mom said I need to start making more phone calls and… Continue reading Squeaky Wheel, That’s Me!
