After all these back and forth posts on nighttime toilet training, the boy decided last weekend that he was done with diapers. We've done a ton of laundry (did I say 'we'??) BUT we've also had two dry nights. Including one where he ate asparagus for dinner and ended up in my bed....I was … [Read more...]
Clueless
We know that raising kids doesn't come with a handbook. Raising kids with special needs? OY! We're going through this blind. With no help. Cuyler is my heart but lately I have no clue what I'm doing with this kid. We are seeing behaviours I never thought we'd be dealing with. Aggression. … [Read more...]

Colour Me Pinned
I've written about my tempestuous relationship with Facebook, and although I am on Twitter, I'll be the first to admit I rarely use it. It just goes way too fast for me to keep up with (and yes, I realize that just saying that makes me sound like I'm ninety-nine years old). I haven't yet found a … [Read more...]
Meet The Teacher!
Last Thursday should have been curriculum night at Will's kindergarten. With all the upheaval in Toronto with the school board, it was cancelled. I won't lie, when I got the note, I let out a little 'woohoo' because it was the same night as my platform tennis league and I didn't want … [Read more...]
