Just trying to be a Good Mom, sometimes succeeding, sometimes not. But blogging about it anyway.
From the monthly archives:
I did not want to jinx it, so I waited to write about the final chapter in Pookie’s bus drama. But here is what has happened lately.
About 10 days ago- he was reading his “No Standing on the Bus” sign every day and seeming to get it. But then one day took off his seatbelt, [...]

BAGD got linked to on Graco’s blog. Yes, THE Graco, the carseat/stroller people.
I hope he did not tell them that I bought a Kolcraft Stroller this time. But I did still use the Graco carseat with it!
So, click on over, if you want to read about how BAGD told his family we were having twins. [...]

I do.
You can clean with it.
You can do laundry with it.
You can do anything with it!
Succumb to the power of vinegar. It is powerful and you cannot hide forever.

Just thought I would show what Giggle’s schedule is right now. She is turning 6 months old this week. She eats solids (stage 2 baby food) baby cereal and formula. She naps twice a day and sleeps all night, except for when we have to go in and re-swaddle her. Our next goal is kicking [...]

Just a few pics to get you caught up on things around here:
We started eating in the new dining room….one day before we convinced BAGD to carry the table in from the kitchen.
Geetle got 2 bad splinters in her hand at the park. Not fun, but she loves the bandaid.
Giggles can sit up by [...]

Interesting article on the affects of Autism on family finances. Scary. Especially considering that having children in the first place affects your finances so drastically. Then to have a special needs child adds more on top.
