So. BAGD thinks this is a good book to read with Pookie. Super Diaper Baby by Dav Pilkey. They read it very night before bed and both demand that their reading time not be interrupted. All I hear is giggling and screeching from the other side of the door. I am not invited. Like most [...]

So…..Giggles and I were goofing off on the floor this afternoon. I was laying on my side on the rug and she was rolling all over me. During one ambitious stretch and roll…she farted. I said “Giggles! What do you say?” She looked at me and said “Oh. Excuse me. And why didn’t your face [...]

Aunt Shel is having a Baby Shower in a few weeks. Tucked into the invitation, we were all given this poem: Although cards are nice with their sentiment and prayer, They’re read once or twice then tucked away with care. A book is a treasure, words and pictures unite Read over and over to teach [...]

Sure, the rhymes are not perfect and many parents might not like all the shouting…but we parents of Autistic children have always judged our toys [...]

Want to see our pictures from our trip to Boston? Ok, sit down. Here they are: That’s me in front of “The Breakers” in Newport, Rhode Island. That’s all we got. We sort of “forgot” to take other pictures. Who needs pictures of Paul Revere’s house and Bunker Hill. You can get those on Flikr [...]
