The bond between a boy and his dog is an amazing thing. Emmett made up his own little song and was singing it to Bella as he danced with her in the living room. How cute is that?

On occasion, I like to make confessions about things I have done, that I'm not proud of. Not only do I feel better but I also show everyone that I'm far from perfect and that I make mistakes. This helps people to realize that they are not alone. Today I want to confess that I lost my temper with Elliott Richard last night. He wasn't listening and was whining about everything. I raised my voice to him more than once. I'm ashamed because he's not feeling well and his anxiety is through the roof. Instead of being more patient a day understanding, I yelled at him because I simply couldn't take anymore. Now, I had given him multiple chances to stop and all I did was raise me vioce above…
I wanted to take a minute and update you all on how Gavin is doing, health wise. Since tightly controlling his fluid intake and starting his new meds, Gavin seems to be a bit more stable. I'm very, very cautiously optimistic because these things have a tendency to sorta pop up unexpectedly. There's no way to know for sure if things are actually better of if he simply isn't having any issues at the moment. It should be noted that his heart rate is still to high. With that said, he hasn't been nauseous since Thursday and hasn't experienced chest pain since then either. He also didn't have any tantrums yesterday. Perhaps that's why he felt so well.

On Monday, Lizze and I will be celebrating our 9 th anniversary. We've been together for 11 years and married for 9. I think that's pretty amazing. Especially considering all of the stress and strain we both feel all the time. We probably won't do anything and we never really get to. However, that won't make the day any less important. Nine years. It's really hard to believe it's been that long. This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsungs Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

When I was a kid, I was terrified at the prospects of switching to a year round school year. For those that aren't familiar, the concept is pretty easy. Basically, school is all year long. For example, your child would go to school throughout the entire calendar year. They would get smaller breaks throughout the year instead of one huge break for the summer. The setup may be different in different areas but it would be something like your kids go to school for 2 months and than get a week or so off. As a parent with at least one child that loses a great deal during the summer, I would love to see the year round school in my area. My kids would get more frequent breaks but…
Elliott created a really cool Lego creation and he wanted to share it with you. In hind sight, I should have taken a better picture of it so you can see just how creative it is. Anyway, this is a chipmunk and the little thing next to it is an acorn. The picture doesn't do it justice and I'm sorry for that. I'm totally proud of him and I love the way his beautiful mind works. :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsungs Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

Friday was a pretty good day for Gavin. He made really good choices and reaped the benefits of that by getting to stay up late and watch a movie. I would really like to see this be a continuing trend going good into the weekend. :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsungs Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

Kids love video games. Kids with #Autism seem to really be drawn to them as well and even more so. That’s certainly the case with my kids anyways. Frankly, you can't escape them. Practically every store, both online and brick-and-mortar, sell video games in brightly lit aisles that draw kids in like moths to flame. I thought it would be cool to share what our kids favorite video games are. It can be difficult to find games that are age or developmentally appropriate for our kids on the #Autism spectrum. You can visit wepc.com for the history of video games and maybe play it with your kids What games do your kids enjoy playing? What system do you have? What games do you enjoy playing with your kids?
