I Saw The Sign

June 28, 2011 4 Comments

Sometimes, when your kid hits a phase, it comes with no warning at all.  I mean, you imagine that boys will be into cars at some point, just like girls are into princesses (don’t get all down on me for gender stereotyping, now, this is just an example.)  But signs.  Who knew that kids could …

And then what???

April 25, 2011 6 Comments

Lately, that’s been IT Boy’s favorite phrase.  If you tell him to get up and get dressed, he comes back with “And then what?”  If you tell him we’re going somewhere, it’s all “AND THEN WHAT?”  He’ll keep asking it until you get tired of answering it.  One of his therapists retorted that, “You’re 4!  …

The On Switch has been thrown

March 29, 2010 2 Comments

For those fans of IT Boy, an update.  I really haven’t talked about him much lately (well, I haven’t talked about much of ANYTHING lately) but that isn’t because things are going badly.  On the contrary, things are going great.  His language has exploded over the past few months.  There are some times when he …

State of the Boy, First Edition of 2009

January 26, 2009 No Comments

I haven’t written much about the Boy, because in a macro sense at least, things are business as usual.  He’s still in his pre-school in the morning and entertaining his motley crew of home service providers in the afternoon.  He’s making progress, in some areas more than others, but it certainly tells us we are …

Anything but Routine

December 6, 2008 4 Comments

The other day, I was filling out a “sensory profile” on the boy for his OT. I was reading the questions out to Mr. IT in some effort to include him in the process. I’m still not sure why I did this. I’d read the question, wait for his answer, and then say something to …
