The hill Gus has named Mount Deathfall After the past few snowstorms of late managed to miss us, we were starting to wonder if we were going to get another good snow. Well, we got it today! I took the kids out this afternoon, and we all had a blast. First, I have to point out that [...] I’ve been quite remiss lately with posting, but now that school is back in session, I can hear myself think again. It seems rather appropriate that Gus started school on a Thursday. Today I am thankful: 1. That Gus not only started school again, but that he was eager to start school again. Yesterday [...] 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 [...] This week has gone by so fast, I didn’t even realize it was Thursday! It’s late and I just got back from a bike ride, so I’ll have to be brief. This week I am thankful for: Finishing my first ride with the cycling club! I did the whole 17 miles and only had to walk [...] I’ve gone far beyond the weekend, but it was so busy, this is the first chance I’ve had to update, and I’ll have to be quick or there will be two hungry children gnawing on my kneecaps pretty soon. Saturday we had a beautiful morning for soccer. Gus was a little sluggish because it’s allergy season [...] 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 [...] I know it looks like I’ve been slacking, and that’s probably because I have. After being cooped up for the fall and winter (which to me all equates to ‘winter’ once it drops below 40 degrees) I’ve been like a big kid, wanting to be out in the open air as much as possible. [...] Social functions can be a nightmare for parents of a child with autism (and for the child for that matter). But they don’t have to be. With enough planning and preparation, your child can attend those functions with relatively few problems. Yesterday, we took Gus to an engagement party for a good friend [...] 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 [...] |
