I can't begin to tell you how much I disliked that phrase when D was four. It felt like a cop out. There wasn't enough wording to make me understand my son just wasn't ready to potty-train. And then he was. Out of the blue, D decided he would use the toilet all on his … Continue reading “He’ll Go When He’s Ready”

Jersey Mike’s Subs
It was late last Sunday and we couldn't decide what to eat for dinner. We went to Half-Priced Books to see if any of the cookbooks inspired our appetite - no luck. We ended up at Jersey Mike's Subs.

His gross motor skills have improved since last year and I have read articles in the past about how swimming promotes and improves cognitive and speech abilities in kids on the spectrum. I'm a believer after last summer. D loves water. Initially, … Continue reading Swimming
