The monkey started speech therapy in December of last year. The first month was terrible. He hated it. On our way to there, we got beaten, scratched, kicked. You name it, he did it. Change is very difficult for him. Our amazing in-home trainer provided PECs so that we can show it to him to…

As you all may know we have been out for a while. It has been an eventful few months for us. First our Facebook page got hacked. That took about a month to get it back. We were told that we would need to delete the account, but I didn’t want to lose this page….

The monkey has been doing so well during these two weeks of vacation. Simply put, he’s just happy. And we love seeing him this way. He’s constantly laughing, hugging us, giving us affection.

I’ve been reflecting on this past year and like most of us, we have had some rough lows and some great highs. A few months ago, we decided to start the monkey in therapy again. After not going to sessions since the start of the pandemic, he struggled a lot. He hated it. Hated it!…

Last night I put some door draft stoppers on our back door. It had been very windy and there’s was cold air coming in. The monkey kept seeing me do this while he was watching TV. Fast forward to 2 am. We were asleep when the monkey comes over to grab my hand. I am…

The monkey started speech therapy last week. We knew we need to start venturing out. He only leaves the house to attend school and that has been about it since the pandemic started early 2019. We knew this change would be difficult for him but we also know this has to be done. He needs…

The monkey has been playing with his communication device. Every now and then, he likes to press a lot of buttons. At first, I didn’t like it. I didn’t want him to feel this is a game. But then I realized how will he be able to learn new words on his own? So, we…

I love you, just the way you are my monkey. 💙 Source: Different, Not Less

I have mentioned how the monkey has been doing great with his communication device. This video is from last night. He was getting sleepy and car rides help him to relax. I quickly started recording to capture his skills. 😊 My daughter always praises him when he uses his words. ❤️
