I’m sorry Geetle and Giggles, but the world is not fair. I’m just gonna lay it out for you. You are smart girls, so I am going to tell you the truth. Ready? Here it goes…. Things are just funnier when Pookie does them. Sorry, but its true. When he walks casually through the room [...]

We saw the “Three Stooges” with Aunt Kel, Bean, JB, Grandma V and all the kids today. During the movie, Pookie kept leaning back in his seat to ask if we could go to Burger King. Sounds random, I know. But its not. Its a Pookie Thing. There are lots of Pookie Things, and they [...]

School is almost over for the year and I feel like I should go in to the classroom for a visitation or recap to make sure Pookie is doing as well as we think he is. I haven’t sat-in on his classroom since like October.

Pookie’s aide sent home another note. This one says that he has been crying with real emotion during Music Class. They are practicing for the Spring Sing and he apparently finds one of the songs incredibly moving and sad. Its hard not to snicker when you see him singing the song and then melting into [...]

We got a report from Pookie’s aide today. Apparently he is still having a hard time when the school library is closed. He loves going to the library, but its just a stim for him. He trades in his books, but never even reads them. He always gets books from a series, as if checking [...]

We saw Pookie’s teacher at the public library the other day. He said Pookie has been doing great at school and that the echolalia really seems to be less recently. That’s interesting, and makes sense, because I think its been increasing at home recently. We have always known that the echolalia will not go away [...]

Pookie’s sisters picked out some very thoughtful Birthday gifts for him. Geetle got him a Snoopy doll that plays the Peanuts theme song. When she saw it she said “Oh Boy! He needs this! To go with his Charlie Brown one!” She knows him. She knows he likes things that go together and is always [...]

Pookie and Geetle turn 9 on Tuesday. Geetle is all over it. She has been waiting for Birthday cards in the mail for weeks. She had told me what she wants for Breakfast on Tuesday and picked out cookies to take to her school friends that day. She has told me how and when she [...]
