Giggles and I took Pook to the Orthodontist today for a consultation. He had a loose tooth about a year ago and kept working it until it fell out. Then nothing grew in its place! I swear…a year with no new tooth. See that hole on the left side of the picture? Right there. I [...]

Check out these two! Aren’t they cute? We decided to go through with it and get Pookie the new glasses. We decided that if they will offer him any degree if improved vision, we want to try it, Even though the eye doctor said his prescription was so light that she could go either way [...]

I took the kids to the eye doctor today. No real surprises, well other than the fact that Giggles (on her first eye doctor appt) sat calmly through the Glaucoma test. Geetle needs a new prescription, her astigmatism is a little worse and her one eye is more far sighted than the other, pretty much [...]

We’ve noticed that Geetle doesn’t seem to be finishing her milk at meals lately. Every day, she brings her lunchbox back from school with a thermos half full. If given a choice, she requests juice or water instead of milk. And she gives a little *sigh* when we put a full glass of milk in [...]

Today is Pookie’s dentist appointment. I just reread my old post on tips for taking Autistic children to the dentist, to gear myself up. You may also find the tips helpful. I’ll let you know how we do today! Hoping for successful X-rays this time!

the beginning of my muscles. I have been pumping iron since mid February. I will admit that I am getting into it. I have an iFitness app on my iPod, which I loaded with a half dozen workouts from a great book called “The 28 Day Body Shapeover.” Giggles and I go 2-3 times a [...]

When I was young, I remember my Mom lining the 3 of us up at the kitchen sink and having us practice swallowing M&Ms. I don’t remember if any one of us was actually sick at the time. I think it was out-of-season practice. I know my Nonie always had a hard time swallowing pills, [...]
