Birthday Boy
Happy Happy Birthday to my sweet little guy, Boston. I still can’t fathom that he is SEVEN today. It just can’t be! We won’t be doing much of a party really – he doesn’t care for all of the commotion. But I absolutely CELEBRATE this little life. It is funny, I remember being pregnant with him […]
My Argumentative Kid

The daily “line up”
The above photos are all examples of “line ups” that are currently going on in my house this afternoon. I assume most of my Autism mom friends recognize this. I am not sure WHY he does it really. I only know that he does…..all of the time. Mostly with DVDs and blocks but as you can […]
ABA
Today I spent the morning down at Hopebridge Pediatric Specialists where Boston receives his ABA Therapy along with Speech and OT. I have mixed emotions about ABA. I have seen some amazing changes in him – but at the same time I just hate the idea of him being there altogether. I want to drop […]
