The Roc is perfecting the art of the bedtime stall. The following was what happened when I tried to put him to bed on Tuesday night. His nightly routine is to take a bath, brush teeth, get dressed, and then we read stories (3 stories has turned into 5 or 6 a night, I’m a [...]

It’s not that I haven’t had anything to write about lately, it’s just that I can’t seem to find the time to get it all out of my head and onto my blog. I’ve got about six different drafts saved, from the diet our cats are on to my mounting anxiety concerning the Roc. Here’s [...]
Does he look too big?
Posted in Uncategorized on April 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »
He loves to ride and pushing him while running is quite the workout! 56 lbs on wheels (38 lb kid + 18 lb stroller).
This is my therapy. Yes, go ahead and call me crazy. I’ve found that the ONLY time that my brain isn’t running like a rat on a wheel is when I’M running. [...]

Train Ride

We took the Roc on a train ride on Sunday with Autism Delaware. A neat and unique experience to be in a place where everyone had a child on the spectrum. No one stared, no one glared, no one sighed with disgust, and no one bated an eye at odd noises or sudden screeches. Lots [...]
