This happened on SaturdayMy kids met and fell in love with our first official pet.I wrote about it in 2011 and it just wasn't the right time then. I can only believe that now is the right time based on the circumstances surrounding how our new pup came to us.We weren't expecting to welcome … [Read more...]
Music to my ears
I've lived through the recorder once already when Cam was in grade 4. He took it again in grade 6. He is currently learning the ukulele and I think that's pretty cool. The notice came home awhile ago for me to send the money in for Cuyler's recorder. I rolled my eyes, sent it in and forgot about … [Read more...]

His stimming is at a high. It is now spilling into school. He is testing us beyond our limits. I almost feel like … [Read more...]

Who would have thought that our lives would again intersect the way they did when I found you were the EA in Cam's junior kindergarten … [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...]
