So, we live in an area where a lot of people have dogs. This drives Teller nuts as he is, by nature, anti-dog. We all have to walk our dogs so they can get exercise, peruse the surroundings and of course, relieve themselves. There are stations everywhere providing not only a garbage [...]

Well, The Boy ended up at Urgent Care last night. He started complaining about his ear in the afternoon, and by dinner time, he was screaming, and then he just fell asleep on the couch, which is never a good sign with him.
I was at an event for work when all this went down, [...]

The Boy is on a roll. Twice today he has come out of his room, during nap time, to tell me that he had done something ridiculous.

Suddenly, there is a noise [...]

Lately, The Boy has been walking around scratching his butt. Last night, I took a look, and found that it was a bit red. So, I put some antibiotic cream on him and had him go put pajamas on.

This just struck me as funny.
Yesterday, we were on our way to an out-of-town party, and stopped at Wendy’s for lunch. We were waiting for our meal at the drive-thru window. We got our drinks and were quietly conversing among ourselves when suddenly, with great force, the lady inside opened the drive-thru window and screamed:

This past week, I went to a conference about autism. While the conference was great, and I learned a lot about autism, I also learned a lot about my own kids, who are not autistic. At one point in the conference, the speaker noted that, somewhere between 12 and 18 months, normally developing children learn that they [...]

Wow. It’s been over a week since I’ve been able to sit down at a computer when it wasn’t work related. Between being without internet because of the move, and then having to play catch up at work, and then having two 12 hour days in a row, it’s been a looooooooooong week! Let me [...]
