On Monday the monkey woke up in a bad mood. The night before he had showered and went to sleep very upset. Showering is still a huge struggle in our household. He woke up remembering the night before. Every time it is shower night, he will get upset and take off all of his clothes….

A few weeks ago when our main bathroom was being remodeled, Blu our cat, went through the floor holes when the guys weren’t watching. We could hear him crying but we struggled to get him out. Eventually my husband had to cut the wall from the back of the fridge downstairs to free him. Today…

This past Saturday my husband and my daughter were working. It was just the monkey and me. He was in his bedroom playing with his toys and watching television. I was in my bedroom folding laundry and putting it away. Our bedrooms doors are about ten feet apart. Which is why I’m pretty comfortable when…

The monkey has been using his iPad to communicate a lot more lately. I love how he is able to get out of his YouTube videos and then click on his speech app to let us know what he wants. Once he clicks, he will stare at our eyes to see our reaction. He still…

The monkey has been doing really good. I strongly believe that it’s because of his communication device. He’s able to tell us what he wants which means he doesn’t get frustrated as easily as he had before. His meltdowns are a lot less and also last very little. He’ll come home from school and right…

How’s potty training (for the 20th time) coming along? After his shower, we put on his underwear. He ran away to his room. And then, we couldn’t find his undies. He threw them inside the fish tank. 🐠🐟 😂😂😂 This kid is hilarious!

These are the two messages from the monkey’s teacher last week. Wearing a mask all day by typical people is hard. Wearing a mask all day on a kid that has sensory issues is beyond difficult. So proud of the monkey for doing this. 💙❤️

My parents live in a very tight monthly income. Every third of the month, my parents will receive their small pension and pay their utility bills. Before this pandemic it was easier. They’d be able to walk into the bank’s lobby, talk to a cashier, and withdraw the amounts needed for their bills. They would…

This kid woke up at 2 am and his anxiety was through the roof. We gave him some CBD oil to calm him down and after a few hours he went back to sleep. We’re so exhausted. Because by the time he goes to sleep, well we are wide awake. My husband and I are…

I received a call a few days back from the monkey’s school.  Every time I see the school’s number on my cell, my heart jumps.  My anxiety turns up and I hope and pray that nothing terrible has happened.  I was in a virtual meeting when the call came in. I quickly logged out of…

So this kiddo started in-class learning. Like most parents out there, we went back and forth, debating whether he should keep up with virtual or attend class. We decided that in class learning was best for him. But this decision did not come lightly. It comes with its own set of issues. First of all…
