My sister had a house warming party today and she invited a lot of people. We arrived early because I was going to help with the set up. We also arrived early because I knew this would be difficult for my son. My sister had a bouncy house. We haven’t been to a party with…

Our journey. 💙
As most of you know, around this time last year, it was a terrible time for us. My son came home full of bruises, we found out it was his teacher, then we started the fight to make sure he was not only fired, but that he would also lose his licence. Aside from the…
What matters most.
Yesterday we went to the park. My husband’s students had a clean up day in downtown. I had to take the food midday and the monkey went with me. While the students were unloading the food from my car, I was struggling with the monkey. Since his hospital procedure this past Friday, he’d been a…
My son is my hero. 💙
We are getting ready for this Friday’s hospital visit. This past Monday, we had a doctor’s appointment with my son’s pediatrician. He needed to fill out an evaluation form, basically saying the monkey is fit to be sedated. When the doctor arrived, my son started getting anxious. He knew what to expect and it was…
Albertsons PEC
Our in-home trainer made us this Albertsons PEC, and he’s able to sort the letters with velcro. I love how his humming tells us how much he enjoys this task.❤️💙

A belt is a necessity.

We can keep going. ❤️
We went to Sam’s today to buy some pool supplies. While we are looking at the chlorine tablets, the monkey started to get out of the shopping cart. We didn’t notice that on top of the pool supplies was a playground set. He was trying to get up there and play. He was getting fussy…
A little bit extra patience. 💙
Our solution to my parents getting injured by the monkey while driving is that we are picking him up at therapy. He’s not very happy about this change. Yesterday he saw us after therapy and had a small meltdown. Change is always very difficult. But we figured he will eventually get used to it. We…
