A Phone Call I was Happy to Get!

28th October 2009 | 6 Comments

So when the phone rang at about 4:30 I figured it might be the school. Adrian’s teacher, when she calls me, it’s usually around that time. I was happy to see it was the school, I was freaking out a little bit this morning talking to my mom about Adrian and I was worried about [...]


Stuff

I can’t talk about some heavy on the heart things right now. I’ve gotten some great advice from blog readers but am feeling a little overwhelmed on how to proceed on some things. When I get overwhelmed on how to handle things sometimes I just seem to do nothing so just some fun stuff tonight [...]


Coughing, Hacking, Sinus Infections Oh My!

Like most people I know, we’ve been sick around here for about 2 weeks. When you have four children it takes a while to cycle through the whole house.

Amazed at how alike Lincoln and Adrian look and how different [...]

Unbelievable

I have to get this out before I explode:
All parents should know about autism. Saying “I don’t know much about it” is horrible! When 1 in 91 people are being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder you should make it your business as a parent to KNOW about it. Even if your kid doesn’t have [...]


Another Telephone Conversation

2nd October 2009 | 4 Comments

Adrian’s teacher called me again today. I love that she calls when she has a problem. There is nothing worse then going to conferences thinking everything is going great and finding out your child has been having major problems.
The first thing she addressed was a habit of Adrian’s. Adrian licks his fingers and wipes [...]
