Scary Vacuum!!
by suburbamom • • 1 Comment
None of my kids have liked the vacuum cleaner for some reason. My oldest didn’t mind it too much, but the younger two have always been afraid. I suppose it’s the sound, or the light on the thingie at the end (what is that called again?). Either way, cleaning the floors is always a big…

Attention!
by suburbamom • • 0 Comments
All children need attention, and they all express their need in a different way. I always wondered why some children expressed it with bad behavior, and figured it was due to immaturity or delayed development. Now, I know that’s not the case. My two younger children require us to be in therapy in the mornings,…

We finally had our Individualized Education Plan meeting for my almost three-year-old, and now hopefully, I will sleep at night. I was very pleased to see the great thought the four specialists put into his goals and plans for services. They gave me time to identify areas not covered by their goals and they created…

My sweet little guy is three! I can’t believe how grown up my baby is. I know we all love all of our children equally, but each relationship is different. For me, it goes back to the births. I very much enjoyed each birth, but my little guy’s birth was very relaxed, and I think…

The boys have been obsessed with “The Fox,” a song by Ylvis, a Scandinavian comedy duo. I finally got them to sing for the camera. Here is my big guy teaching his brother: And here is my little big guy singing the song:
Autism, Special Needs
Vendors

Almost as difficult as figuring out what your child with special needs actually needs, is finding a good vendor. Few parents have switched vendors, so they can’t really tell you how their vendor compares to others. We have a vendor for Speech, OT, and PT, a vendor for Infant Stimulation, and we’re on our second…

One Year Old

I can’t believe my baby is a year old now. He’s still so tiny, so I hold onto that. He’s still a baby. Though his small size is a concern. It’s a catch 22. But it’s not about me, or how I feel about no longer having a baby. It’s all about my baby right…

Tag Team

This may be the most stressful week I’ve ever had. And really only because I’m totally sleep-deprived. There have been weeks where we had many doctor appointments, meaning no naps, and this week, we only had one. We have a birthday party for our baby this weekend, and our first Individualized Education Plan meeting Friday. …
