Sometimes bad news can be good

Sometimes bad news can have a way of making you feel better. In this case, it makes me feel a bit less crazy. I realize that's sounds counter intuitive  so let me explain. For a really long time, especially with Gavin, it was so incredibly frustrating that he would behave the way he did at home but when at a relatives house, we get a report of great behavior when he returns. The truth is, his behavior wasn't perfect and he had problems. However, our family felt guilty telling us that.  They didn't want us to feel bad. That was really sweet of them.  However, this didn't have the intended impact on Lizze and I.  Instead, it made us feel like we were crazy.  Sometimes as parents, we need someone…

Can anyone tell me what this is?

This is exactly the kind of day I'm having.  This is one of the few physical possessions I had.  I used this every single day.  Can you tell me what it is?

We have the weirdest cat ever

Sometimes it's nice just to change trains for a little while and jump aboard the one going to the town of Off Topic. :-) Even our pets are unique...... Blue, Emmett's cat has this obsession with massaging the dogs.  That's right, you heard me correctly.  He massages the friggin dogs.  I've never seen anything like that before.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEhANUeQz1c This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

How’s your weekend going?

Lizze is spending time with her aunt this morning.  The boys have been fighting for most of the morning and Elliott has been in extreme whiney mode.  I actually have them getting along right now as they are playing n+ together on the XBoX.  Elliott is starting to whine because he wants to play more by himself but Emmett is just happy to be playing.  Elliott is far and away our most challenging child at the moment.  Despite everything though, we have lived to fight another day.  That's a very positive thing. :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

Confessions of an #Autism Dad: My Fears

I wanted to share this blog that I did while waiting to pick up Elliott at school on Friday. It's about 10 minutes and I talk about the wraparound process and I also share my biggest fears about this whole thing.  I like doing this videos because it's easier sometimes to speak than write.  I just need to get better at it.  :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2iNawOUS7k This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

What my kids want to you to know about #Autism

I was thinking that it might be helpful to share this video I put together. It's about what my kids would want you to know about #Autism.  Remember, this is about my kids but I think that others can relate as well. I would never presume to speak for you or your kids.  My only goal is to help make people aware of how #Autism can effect at least my family.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFyN4zsR1nY This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

His desire to see is stronger than his sensory issues

Emmett never fails to amaze me.  As sensory sensitive as he is, his desire to actually see his world is stronger than the sensory issues screaming st him to take the glasses off. I'm so proud of him.  :-) This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.

OMG make them stop fighting

Elliott and Emmett have been fighting since he came home from school.  I mentioned that this has been a really crappy day and this stuff certainly doesn't help.  I'm under a great deal of pressure right now and I honestly feel like I wasn't built for this. We are just beginning a 3 day weekend and I have a feeling that it's going to be a really long one.  :-( This site is managed via WordPress for Android, courtesy of the @SamsungMobileUS Galaxy Note 2 by @Tmobile. Please forgive any typos.
