#youmightbeanautismparentif You Light it up Blue Year Round!!!!

This year has been the best year by far with Little Man! He is growing by leaps and bounds in Maturity and he will be turning 9 at the end of the month! I started him on the Paleo diet this year I haven’t started being extremely strict yet, I am easing him into this new way of life and I think it is helping him. He even drinks green smoothies he hates them yet he drinks them. I have introduced so many new veggies into his diet this year he doesn’t like them all but I can get him to eat most anything with ketchup!!!! Lol! I just need to figure out how to make ketchup at home and we’ll be set! He still whines a little and tattles but he is doing so much better in other areas! I am amazed and thankful maybe someday soon I can think about having or adopting another?!

Update on Little Man!!! #autism

Sorry I’ve been MIA from my blog! I have been soooo busy! Homeschooling, working, full time mom, and losing weight! So here is my quick update Little Man has been making progress for sure! He met 2 of his IEP goals yay! And he has finally been getting himself dressed! I still have to do it if he over sleeps but if he wakes up early enough he will dress himself! So it is past my bedtime so this is just going to be a short note love you all and I hope to write more soon!

Little Man’s App Review: Appy Christmas

I recently downloaded some amazing Christmas Apps for Little Man. His favorite among them was Appy Christmas you get to smack Santa or a Reindeer I really don’t know why the main part of the app is abusing Santa but the most amusing part of the app is the voice recording and Santa mimics what you say but in a high pitched elvish voice, his mouth moves as well! When Santa puts his hand to his ear that means he is recording and if you give the ipod a shake it will play back what you said or Sang!!!! The higher pitched voice you use the better!! It is hysterical!!! Many laughs for sure!!!!

#youmightbeanautismparentif Bullies, Burgers, and Ice Cream Oh My!

We went to McDonalds tonight. I wanted to get a treat for the end of this term for Little Man. I was very specific and told him to choose 1 treat he went back and forth but finally settled on a burger. I told him ok but you aren’t getting an ice cream later and I know he heard me. We eat and he goes to play. I listen out for him and pay attention to his interactions after a while I hear him yell “I am not a baby!” Then nothing I wait a minute and it seems fine I hear him talking to the kids then it comes again “I am not a baby!” Followed by crying I call him over and he tells me a girl called him a baby. She looked to be about 2 years older and for whatever reason she felt the need to bully Little Man. She may have been jealous or wanted to play but didn’t know how to enter the group?! Either way Little Man’s words were clear he set a boundary and she kept crossing it and bullying him. I told him I am sorry the Little girl was being mean and he needs to keep telling her to stop if she bothers him. The mom of the girl talked to her child then left after buying her and ice cream cone of course!!!!WTF to that!!!!! So the kids were having fun once again. When it was time to leave Little Man decided he wanted an ice cream so I explained to him that he made a choice and he chose the burger so he said “but I changed my mind!” He cried all the way home and then more in his room. He finally came to me crying and said “I can’t stop! I can’t calm down!” So I sent him to take a shower and told him I would make soup and hot coco he finally calmed down after he got his pjs on :)

My Baby Boy

My sweet baby Little Man before he ever showed any symptoms. This was when he was a sweet happy and content baby. Before he became the grunting, fit throwing, energy driven toddler. I love him at every stage but I want my baby back again :(

Little Man vs his 13yr old cousin

Little Man challenged his 13yr old cousin to a gladiator style jumpy arena fight where you stand on podiums.

20121102-180152.jpg

Little Man couldn’t stand up alone because the podium was too wobbly, he was scared.

So my nephew reached out to lend him a helping hand.

Then the fight begins!
