Last Thursday night was one of those nights that reinforces my attitude that anything is possible. That the sky is the limit for Cuyler and his opportunities in life are endless as long as they are offered to him. Last Thursday night our family gathered at the local performing arts theatre to … [Read more...]
A Born Performer
This morning I dropped Cuyler off at camp. The previous 3 years I've dropped him off at Adventure camp at the local community centre. This year we'll be taking a different route and I will be dropping him off at our local performing arts theatre. At his insistence I signed him up for Theatre … [Read more...]
To Gift or Not to Gift. That is the Question.
Do you buy a year end gift for your child(ren)'s teacher(s)? I do. Even though June is a heavy month, cash-output wise, I do still make sure to buy a little something for people who spend the majority of their weekdays with my children. The people whose care I entrust my children to. The people … [Read more...]
Forget Holland – Welcome to Costa Rica!
A few evenings ago I heard water spluttering about in the bathtub upstairs. It seemed odd and a little early in the evening for anyone to be in the tub. "Cuy? Are you having a bath?" I called up. "No. My students are swimming." he called back down. huh? whaaa? Up I went to … [Read more...]
Solo Soccer
Monday night both boys had soccer. Cam had a game and Cuyler had a practice that Eva and I were going to watch. Last week he did really well with following instructions and participating in the drills. I wasn't there but Sean said he was really happy with how Cuyler did. I was pretty excited to … [Read more...]
Life’s a pitch
Several months ago Cuyler announced that he was going to play soccer this summer. I told him that would be fun, thinking he would move off of that idea after a few days. He's not a sporty kid. Nor is he much of a team player - he's more of a solitary guy. In fact, he's never played a sport - team or … [Read more...]
Wiggled Out
I wrote this post almost 2 years ago about me taking Cuyler to see The Wiggles. I was thrilled that I was able to take him and and that he enjoyed as much as he did. It was a great day. The thing with Cuyler (and many kids on the spectrum) is that he can get "stuck" on things. First it was The … [Read more...]
Enough
Every single day I wonder: "Have I done enough for him?" "Am I doing enough for him?" "Did I do enough today?" "Do we have enough money for this? "Is my effort and energy enough?" And every single day I think the answer is no. I know that I can only do what I can do but I always go to … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – Fur Friend
Just because I'm in love with the fact that Cuyler is in love with our dog. and a gratuitous "Cutest Dog Ever" photo! … [Read more...]
Dear Mother Nature,
Seriously. What the hell? I know that April is usually a bit up and own, but really? Sun, rain, a thunderstorm and then some snow. We'll hit 25°c Thursday and drop down to -1°c by Saturday. Did you not consider all of those couples who had planned and hoped for a beautiful April wedding? They … [Read more...]
