It has taken me a few days to be able to write about what happened on Monday. I had a Mommy Meltdown. I haven’t had one in awhile. Four days later (and a child who finally went to school after a week of being home sick) has given me time to get back to normal, [...]

An Evening Conversation…On Repeat
Posted in Autism, Language stuff, Potty Training on October 27, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Warning: This is another post about poo. If you are offended by this subject, don’t read any further. You were warned!
Potty training the Roc has been an experience and definitely a test in one’s patience. He has not been the easiest child to train, and definitely not the hardest, but he still is a lot [...]
About a Dog

The weather was nice this past week and I was feeling both useless and restless, as I have been lately. The Roc has settled into his routine and I’m trying to figure out what to do with myself while he is at school. I don’t feel that I’m contributing as much to the family now [...]

Ohhhh Man! He is driving me nuts! He is driving me crazy! He is driving me bonkers!
How can this

It is his obsession with my HANDS. Sounds a little strange doesn’t it?
Where did it come from? I don’t know. When did it start? I cannot [...]
For the Love of…Fountains

The Roc LOVES water, especially falling water. He loves to take a bath. He loves to swim. He loves to see rushing rivers and thunderous waterfalls, the bigger the better. And he loves fountains. Because of this love I just knew he would enjoy Longwood Gardens in PA. On Monday the Roc and I, along [...]
The best day

I’ve been meaning to post about last Saturday because it was a truly wonderful day. The best day in many, many, many days. I am still basking in the glow of Saturday (even through the horrid meltdown last night and the crankiness of this morning). Here’s why:
In the morning we went to the 2nd annual [...]
