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?"

Dear Mother Nature,

Tied up
I wrote this post last August with the firm knowledge that my boy would eventually be tying his own shoelaces. Before I sent those awesome Lego shoes to school I did what I think was probably the most crucial step to Cuyler succeeding in this task. I dyed the shoelaces. One half of the lace … [Read more...]
Off Kilter
One of the most asked questions since we got Teddy is "How does Cuyler like him?" Cuyler loves him and tells us several times a day how much he loves Teddy and wants him to live with us forever. He also reminds us how brave he is around Teddy and that he is not afraid of him. We can see a lovely … [Read more...]
