Almost childless

Emmett is at Lizze's parents for the night and Elliott is at my parents for the night. We are left with Gavin and the dogs.  It's really quiet and peaceful. We probably could have been completely childless but we opted to hang on to Gavin for 2 reasons. The first being, his health still worries us and until we meet with Cleveland and return to the neurologist,  we aren't sure what his limitations are. The fact that he isn't medically stable enough to return to school for at least the rest of this year,  compels us to really exercise caution.  Perhaps we are overreacting but until we know otherwise,  I don't know what else to do. We don't want Gavin to crash again and have to return to the hospital. …

Gavin’s Lego Creation: 05/12/2012

Gavin's super awesome Lego creation of the day is another shop.  He didn't name it as he usually does,  but I think it's very Star Wars-ish. It's even got moving parts :-) He's really,  very proud of this and so am I. He did a great job and I admire his imagination,  most of the time ;-) Great work Gavin and thank you for letting me share your creation with me readers.  :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Slight reprieve

Lizze's parents came and picked up Emmett.  He's gonna spend the night and have a lot of fun. We are going to have one less to worry about for a little while,  God bless them for that.  :-) Hopefully,  Emmett will behave and have a good time with his Grandparents.  I grabbed a few shots of Emmett leaving this afternoon.  They are really cute so of course I wanted to share :-) Enjoy the cuteness.... **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Elliott’s Treasure: 05/12/2012

Elliott has lots of little treasures. He loves collecting action figures and playing with them as well.  This morning,  Elliott was digging through the toy box and discovered a long lost treasure.  This particular treasure was his long lost Ash, from Pokemon action figure. He is so excited to be reunited with his toy that he asked me to take a picture and share it with ya'll. I absolutely love his smile :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Another early day

Some things got to give.  The boys keep getting up at these God awful hours and can't go back to sleep. I ended up on the couch after Emmett climbed onto our bed at the unholy hour of 3am. This is getting old,  real fast. Lizze and I need our sleep. **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Grass seed and bubbles

Today,  Elliott and I spent some quality time together. I have been trying to improve our yard and make it more pleasant for the boys. We have a lot of dead sports in the yard so Elliott and I planted grass seed and it's finally taking off. We had a large area of naked dirt and Elliott planted someone grass seed and then we watered it together. While we were doing this,  we reviewed plant information,  including how and why it grows. When we were done,  we blew bubbles for awhile and watched Bella chase them all over the yard. Good times :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost and Tired Please join our Autism Help Forum Look for "Autism Help" app at the Google Play Store

Today’s Victory: 05/12/2012

Today's Victory is brought to you by Downtown Ford. I usually stick to awarding these to my kids but in this case,  Downtown Ford deserves the spotlight.  They have taken care of almost all our problems with our new van.  We have to go back for one minor thing but it's not a big deal. Chad in service was very friendly, professional and patient.  I just wanted to publically thank them for all their help.  We were without a car after the van was stolen and they helped us replace it. When the van had problems after the sale,  they stepped up and took care of it. Thank you.  It's so nice to see our van when I look out the window :-) **Thanks for reading**        -Lost…

Lost and Tired’s Looney Bin

I wanted to just sorta put this out there. It may stupid but it's kinda fun and if feels good at the same time. I'm always joking about how I'm gonna end up in the Looney Bin. While I'm totally,  well,  mostly,  joking around,  it does feel like that sometimes. I recently began using Foursquare to kinda track everywhere we have been.  I was having a really bad day a few weeks ago and I decided to look for my new happy place.  Long story short,  I never found it.  However,  I did find something good else that works. I added a place called Lost and Tired's Looney Bin to the Foursquare database. Now,  whenever I get really frustrated,  I simply check myself in. You know what,  it sorta actually…
