I mentioned earlier that we were going to take the boys to get their hair cut.  I also mentioned that doing so, doesn't always go over very well.  As I would imagine at least some of you have experienced first hand, haircuts for a child with #Autism can be very challenging.  I'm pleased to share with you all that our mission to get their hair cut was a complete success. The boys did absolutely perfect.  They sat there, watching TV and tolerated the process quite well.  They really dislike getting their hair wet and flinched each time their hair was sprayed. However, again, they did amazingly well and Lizze and I are so proud of them both.  As promised, I have a few pictures to share.

This is not a review of the Galaxy Note 2.  I'm simply sharing my recent experience with this device and my kids. With each passing day, we are realizing how the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the perfect device.  The Android 4.1.1 device is sporting a 5.5 inch HD display. Not only does this display work out well for the kiddos, it also utilizes a stylus called the S Pen. The S Pen allows you to write with digital ink, right on the screen. The Galaxy Note 2 blends the best qualities of a tablet and smartphone together. However, as far as the kiddos are concerned, the S Pen makes the Galaxy Note 2 the perfect device for games like Where's My Perry. Emmett absolutely loves using our Note 2's…

Lizze is having a really bad day, pain-wise and so she laying in bed.  Emmett and I are hanging out together.  After breakfast and a few episodes of Spiderman Unlimited, he decided that Play Doh was the direction we should take the morning in.. I've said this before but I say it again, Play Doh is amazing for kids on the #autism spectrum.  At least that's my experience.  There is good sensory feedback from squishing the Play Doh between fingers and even toes.  Anyway, today Emmett decided that we were going to go bowling with Play Doh.  I made the round bowling balls out of Play Doh and Emmett, being the resourceful little man that he is, used an old DS stylus to make the holed for our fingers.  Then…

Today started out really well.  Elliott didn't a fantastic job of getting up, dressed and off to school this morning. I showered him with praise because I was and am, so proud of him.

My evening was going well......or at least better. Lizze and I were watching Swamp Loggers and I was finally relaxing.  Next thing I know, everything in the room went dark.  Blue, Emmett's kitten, was playing behind the TV and has discovered how much fun it is to press the button on the power strip and shut everything off. Thankfully, Maggie is now guarding the TV and we should be able to finish our show without further interruption. :-)
