I never got around to posting on the ol’ blog about Lincoln’s speech evaluation. When I took him in for his 2 year check up the doctor said she didn’t think he was talking enough. He was babbling more than really talking and he wasn’t combining two words yet. I was actually really taken aback [...]

I haven’t been keeping up with the blog very well. I’ve been spending much less time on the computer than I used to but thought I could update real quick.
Adrian’s IEP meeting is this coming Friday. I’m always nervous for these and generally have a very “emotional” week during his IEP meeting weeks. We’ll [...]

Nevaeh has taken to a new hobby. I had mentioned on Thanksgiving she hid from me at my Aunt’s house. Well the day after Thanksgiving she hid from me up in bed with her Daddy, I found her pretty quick. Yesterday she hid from me under her bed, she was playing with her Daddy’s phone-that’s [...]

Lincoln had his 15 month well child check today at the doctor. It went really smoothly. He actually let the doctor pick him up and smiled a little at her.

The people who were originally sick, Glen, Sanura, and Nevaeh are finally feeling better although now Glen is struggling with fall time allergies. Lincoln was just [...]

Adrian came home today with what looks like a wax museum spiderman picture. It looks strange. Adrian loved it! He carried that picture around and yelled at it all afternoon. When Nevaeh tried to take it from him today he said “gimmie the picture” Wow. Wow. Love that. I guess I haven’t mentioned all of [...]

School really makes for hectic mornings. I try to prepare the night before but I’m ashamed to say many nights I just don’t get things ready and then I’m scrambling to get things done in the morning.
Like many kids with autism, Adrian is very specific about what he will and won’t eat. No-no’s for [...]

One of the favorite activities that the kids do with their Daddy is rough-housing. He loves tossing them around and pretending that their punches hurt. I don’t love it so much because it gets very very loud and generally someone, always one of the girls because our boys are rough and tough, will end up [...]

The early morning sun was annoying me out of my restful slumber and there were children below begining to stir. I sighed and rolled over on my back and checked the clock, to see if it was just early or un-godly early. I sat up collected my cell phone from the side table and a [...]
