Ya You Know…

I have been extremely uninspired when it comes to blogging lately.  I’ve just been blurry-headed, sad, happy, in the depths of despair…etc etc. I don’t wanna laways focus on autism here.  It’s just what’s on my mind obviously.  But sorry I suck lately.  I know I’m not the usual inspired Leah lately. Have a good… Continue reading Ya You Know…

Sometimes it’s Useful.

Hmmm perhaps there is something to line up that he’ll also learn from??  Ya I helped him a little..but not really.  Silly boy. Brent and I found out that we’re not getting medical for another 5 months.  We cannot afford to put him in to see a naturalpath right now.  I wanna start NOW!!!  Brent’s… Continue reading Sometimes it’s Useful.

Buddy and Ducky

Meet Buddy and Ducky.  I came across these two friends at a kid’s swap on Saturday.  This woman makes them with wool and expensive filling so they last a lifetime.  Buddy took two days to make and was $12, ducky took three and he was $14. This lady got the pattern after flying all the… Continue reading Buddy and Ducky

I’m a Lame Blogger

Wow, I have three kids here today.  Lucas has joined us today for some fun.  Right now they’re all at least quiet in their rooms.  Not entirely sleeping I don’t think.  Maybe just Lucas and Ikey.  Remind me to not get pregnant again k? That’s all

I Have This Feeling

So, it’s going to be a while before Silas gets his full assessment.  Like a year.  A year before he gets officially diagnosed with whatever.  If he gets diagnosed with high functioning autism (which he is) then we’ll get no funding or anything.  Which kinda ticks me off.  I have this feeling that in a… Continue reading I Have This Feeling

Just So Sad

The moment you fall in love with your child you’re completely ruined.  Sometimes it happens at conception, for me it happens about a month after they’re born.  My heart opens up and suddenly I’m ruined for another person.  Not much else matters anymore, only that my child is safe and healthy. I almost think the… Continue reading Just So Sad

He’s Just so Smart

I’m in the midst of uploading a video of Silas onto You Tube right now.  I took it with my cell phone because my regular camera has pooped out (anyone wanna buy me a new one??).  So the quality is kinda bad. It just shows you how into the ABC’s he is right now.  I… Continue reading He’s Just so Smart

Our meeting last night was fantastic!  Dorothy was SO nice.  Silas wont have to leave the program until he’s in pre-school.  I thought he was going… Continue reading Soooo

Playgroup and stuff

So this morning I decided that we should go to a play group that the Infant/child development people put on.  I swallowed whatever it is that makes me scared of places like that and we went. The people there was SUPER nice and SUPER great with kids.  They kept saying how good Silas was at… Continue reading Playgroup and stuff

The Ball is Rolling

So I got a call from child development this morning.  At first it was disheartening, this lady was really confusing.  She had me thinking that Silas was in some sort of limbo stage.  Her program only deals with children enrolled in pre-school or school and Infant and Child development only deals with Children up to… Continue reading The Ball is Rolling

Oh How It’s Grown

My tomatos caught blight so I had to pick them all early.  I washed them in a bleach solution to kill any fungus and they’re ripening beautifully.  I’m pleased I didn’t lose them. They said the corn would get 7 feet tall…it’s about 10 now.  I can’t wait until it’s ready!! There’s one squash on… Continue reading Oh How It’s Grown

My Heart

I’m becoming increasingly aware that this autism is effecting me in a very negative way.  Ya my attitude is great, I see attitude as a choice, no one is slave to their attitudes. It’s just my heart, my spirit, something.  Something is missing.  I’ve just felt like I’ve been carrying around this weight with me… Continue reading My Heart

Funny Little Ikey

Ikey is a funny little boy.  He tromps around the house he like he owns the place and knows everything.  So busy, you put him down and he doesn’t take a moment to stand still…gotta go. His most favorite thing in the world right now is standing at the bathroom sink with a little bit… Continue reading Funny Little Ikey

Meat Fingers

One thing I’m finding as I observe Silas is that he has these moments of total clarity.  Yesterday he had almost an entire DAY of clarity.  I couldn’t believe all the words coming from his mouth.  A lot of it was still echoing but he was making up a lot of his own stuff too. … Continue reading Meat Fingers
