I wanted to share a bit about our experience so far with Tmobile. I know it's a bit off topic but whatever. The reason I'm doing this is because as a special needs family, we need to save money whenever possible. Perhaps my experience will benefit someone else. So often we hear,  you get what you pay for. That seems to insinuate that paying more for something brings better quality. I'm here to say, that's not always the case. Having been with Sprint for years, I can honestly say that so far, not only is Tmobile much, much cheaper but the quality of service is significantly better than that of Sprint. When I say better, I'm talking night and day differences. We have had extremely good service thus far and…

Elliott is still on a pseudo hunger strike, since learning that he has a tree nut allergy. He'll eat things here and there but is largely refusing to eat, at least at home. However, I was lucky enough to be contacted by a company that makes Elliott friendly food. These foods are free from common allergens. I'm not going to go into details because I have an upcoming review on these products. However, I will say that Elliott is enjoying them, so far. I will also say that he's very difficult to please when it comes to food.  Will they get my endorsement? Stay tuned for a full review.  :-)

Today is going to be a rather challenging day.  That's not really anything new.  Today however, will be the first time that Emmett will not have speech or OT. Emmett is a creature of habit and not going to therapy anymore is going to be difficult for him. Exactly how difficult remains to be seen. As long as Lizze is feeling well enough to take Elliott and Gavin to therapy, I'll stay with Emmett.  Anymore he's glued to my side and hopefully I'll be able to distract him. The other downside is that Gavin will be around again because of therapy.  The boys are really struggling with any contact they've had with him, regardless of how well behaved Gavin was.  Luckily we see Dr. Patti in the early evening, so…

For those of you that have been following the Lost and Tired family’s story for awhile now, you’re probably familiar with the concern over Emmett’s regression lately. It hasn’t been anything extreme but enough that we are very aware that it’s happening. You may also recall that Gavin was about the same age when he began his steady decline into regression. Needless to say, Emmett experiencing this as well has us truly terrified. We have been seeing many behaviors resurfacing after he had moved past them. One of the most noticeable is potty time. Emmett will no longer goto the bathroom alone. This is a step backwards for us. Also, he’s back to taking all his clothes off, including his socks, before going to the bathroom. At least he’s still…

  I thought I would help you fill that shiny new android tablet you just got with some amazing apps. Below you will find a list of educational apps, all of which I have personally played with my own kids. These are all created by a company called Intellijoy. Intellijoy is the #1 developer of educational apps on the entire Google Play Store, and for good reason.  Every one of these apps will work fantastically on the highly recommended Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.  Check out the extensive list below and click on the app title, located beneath each icon, for a direct link to the install button located on the Google Play Store. Please note that there are both paid and free versions of these apps. This gives you…
