DS was ill. REALLY ill yesterday. Took him to the pedi and he had two shots, poor kid. Wakes up this morning, 100% better. All day, I hear “watch me mommy!” “sit with me mommy!” “Look mommy!” I should feel so blessed my kid is well.
Next thing I know he is imitating my dog-old, 12 […]

I don’t know if I would call it imperfect or the situation imperfect, but we have a crotchety cat and now that the baby is old enough to understand ‘no’ and move away (or toward) the cat on her own, we just let her get scratched if she pulls his tail or harasses him. It […]

My autistic 5 yr old, Ashlyn has no understanding whatsoever of what danger means. Yesterday I came home from the Dr’s office and Ashlyn was standing at the end of the driveway, out in the street, just standing there eating a piece of bread and staring at the sky. When she saw the […]
