My Mom turned 60 a couple weeks ago and she just got her present from me yesterday. I was a little late getting it to her because I made her something instead of buying her something. She called me this morning to let me know that she LOVES it!! So here’s a look at what [...]

Tuesday was a Great Day!

Over the last couple weeks the Roc has been having some behavioral issues at home (and some at school too, though his awesome preschool teacher said it was “nothing to write home about”). His frustration is immediate and this leads to lots of yelling, screaming and whining…not a lot of fun (for either of us). [...]
Weekend Soccer

We had nice weather on Sunday so we spent the afternoon outside. GC mowed while I repotted some of my indoor plants and the Roc blew bubbles, played with sidewalk chalk, pushed his lawnmower around, and helped me by pouring the dirt into pots (and on the sidewalk). We were putting everything away when the [...]

Playground in October
Posted in Uncategorized on October 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The wind finally died down a bit so the Roc and I went to the playground after school. I realized that I hadn’t taken a picture since this one last Wednesday:
so I grabbed my camera to document the change a week in October makes:
I was watching the Roc play on the playground and I realized [...]
Stay Positive
Posted in Autism on October 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I try to stay positive and for the most part I consider myself a positive person. But sometimes things just don’t work out that way for me. I can be cruising along just fine and then something happens and I feel this cold, awful feeling crawl up my back and wrap around my chest. I’ll [...]
New York City!

The Roc didn’t have school on Friday so GC took off work and we headed to NYC for the day. We lucked out and had beautiful weather. We drove up to Princeton and caught the 9:48 am express train and arrived in about an hour.
The Roc really likes to ride on the train. He was [...]
Fire house Fieldtrip
Posted in Autism, Preschool, School Field Trips on October 12, 2008 | 3 Comments »
On Thursday the Roc had his first field trip of the school year – to the fire house. I went along and it’s probably the last field trip I’ll attend for awhile. The Roc just acts different whenever I go to his school! He always displays some sort of bad behavior that the teachers swear [...]
Haircut + Horses
Posted in Uncategorized on October 8, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The Roc had a busy day yesterday. He got his haircut at the barber shop and did really well. He never liked going to “Kids Kuts” (kiddie themed haircutting establishment) but he loves the barber shop. (I think it has something to do with the spinning barber shop pole).
When we first got there he was [...]
Don’t step on the Crack!

This new trend started late last week. When I mentioned it to GC he said “haven’t you ever noticed I do the same thing?” Well no. I haven’t. It’s hard enough keeping up with “daddy long legs” (hey! a new name for him! I wonder if he will like it more than “babe”?) that I’ve [...]
