I took the last of the boxes out to the trash tonight! All 45+ of them! Technically I still have 5 or so in the storage closet outside, but I can’t throw those out until I pick up a few more clear boxes to put the stuff in. The hard part for this round was that . . . → Read More: Well, I did it When we received Lovebug’s diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder and ADHD, we were also told that it was “highly probable” that she had Asperger’s. The doctor said that she was able to find a couple things that kept her from diagnosing Lovebug with Aspergers, and that she was glad because she didn’t like to diagnose kids . . . → Read More: Aspergers or not? Does it really matter? I’ve talked before about our trampoline – the best thing ever – and how Lovebug uses it every single day to help burn up some of her excess energy. We are now on day 16 in a hotel and we have another week to go before we’ll be in our house with our household goods, so . . . → Read More: What to do with a very active child in a hotel We had a really rough time during school yesterday morning. Lovebug had a serious meltdown! We were working on schoolwork this morning, and she mentioned (nicely) that she didn’t want to do something we were working on. I asked her (nicely) “Why don’t you want to do that?”, and she lost it. She started crying and . . . → Read More: A very out-of-sync morning! Lovebug gets so excited when friends or family come to our house. Over excited, actually. For a long time, as soon as I opened the door to let in a grandparent, she would start running around in circles screaming or laughing hysterically while the grandparents stood patiently waiting for their greeting. Not the warmest welcome! I would . . . → Read More: Helping your SPD kiddo & guests enjoy each other It’s hard when we change the plans on our kiddos sometimes, isn’t it? It’s funny that my daughter can be so easy going about some things, and so rigid about others. She’s been completely fine with the foster kids coming and going in our home. She’s ok that we don’t know which state we are moving . . . → Read More: Learning to adapt when plans change My daughter doesn’t like to cuddle. She never has, even as a baby. We used to rock her before bed each night and sing songs to her. As soon as she could speak she would try to pull away from us, lean toward her crib and say “Bed!”. I can count on one hand the number . . . → Read More: The 30-second-hug that lasts a lifetime All the snow was still there when we woke up this morning! YAY! We had another great day in the snow complete with a nice warm meal of chili & cornbread! Yum! Today the snow had melted just enough to re-freeze as icicles, and Lovebug was so excited! She couldn’t wait to enjoy these natural popsicles! . . . → Read More: Texas Snow Day Part 2 It’s snowed in Texas today! A lot! In our city, we got 3 inches, but I know those further north got even more. Here is what Lovebug thought about it: For our sensory seeker, snow is one of the best things ever! She doesn’t even mind getting bundled up for it. Of course, she’s worn the same coat . . . → Read More: SNOW! Nature’s Sensory Playground Thank you all for the response to the Walmart post! I really appreciate you reading, commenting, and sharing that post – keep it coming! I love hearing from each of you. I’m overwhelmed actually. I’ve been working on a response for the last couple days and I just can’t get my mind around the big picture . . . → Read More: To the moms who have been THAT mom  |
