We’ve known for a long time that Gus needs the sensory input that he gets from using his large motor muscles. He is always more focused and present after even a few minutes of exercise. Because he also tends to have somewhat low muscle tone, strengthening exercises are essential for him. It’s not always easy to [...]

A local resident We all made it back from our trip safe and sound. All things considered, the trip was a successful one. No one was lost or hurt (one close call at the aquarium), there were no major meltdowns, and in general it was a pleasant time. That being said, I don’t think I relaxed [...] This has been a very up and down weekend. On one hand, Gus has been having meltdowns on and off, but on the other hand, he’s had a couple of pretty cool things as well. Yesterday was picture day for the soccer league. Gus and MM each had to take pictures with their teams and then [...] Good morning, reader! I am aware that today is Friday, but I ran into a few technical difficulties yesterday that took up the bulk of the day, so I never got to sit down and post. However, had I posted, this is what I was thankful for yesterday (and still am today): 1. I am thankful that [...] Hello, world! School’s just about to wrap up its second week and we’re finally starting to get into some sort of routine. Here’s what I’m appreciating today: I am thankful: 1. That Gus has had a really good first full week. At least half of every day, his teacher reports that he’s been ‘on.’ One [...] Instead of making excuses every week for why I keep missing Thursdays, let’s just agree that I’ll post a thankfulness list at some point every week. Really, I don’t want to keep boring you with my memory issues. This week: I am thankful that although my husband contracted Lyme disease, he caught it very early and was [...] Eons ago, in another life when I taught high-school aged kids, I learned that children with certain learning styles (kinesthetic and tactile) tended to do much better in small group activities (groups of 2 or 3). I notice that this holds true for Gus. In large groups of peers, as when we are hanging [...] A commenter had some questions for me, and instead of responding just in a comment, I thought I’d post the answer here in case anyone else was interested. I may do this periodically if anyone’s got a question that requires more than a couple of lines of reply. Q: How old was Gus when you found [...] Because that means tomorrow is Friday! I had my post all mapped out in my head, and I really should have written it first thing this morning. But fear not – I think I can capture the essence of what I am thankful for today! 1. I am thankful that my sister-in-law and brother-in-law have safely [...] Hello all! Notice anything new? I’ve been toying with my layout this morning – what do you think? Today I am thankful for: Three Column Blogger for a wonderfully easy tutorial on adding a third column to a Blogger blog. I’m definitely a DIY type of person so I was thrilled that I could do this [...] |
