Life and Boxes of Cheerios: November 2013
http://janddsmom.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Life and Boxes of Cheerios. All about my life with two special needs kiddos and boxes of Cheerios. Thursday, November 7, 2013. David VS. Goliath. Here's the most frustrating thing about having verbal kids with Autism or Asperger's or high functioning autism (HFA), they LOOK normal. Most of the time I can deal with the looks, the rude, ignorant comments,even the occasional unwanted attention from a public meltdown. My little momma hollers out "HEY GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM! She immediately lets go and eve...

Life and Boxes of Cheerios: Elopement and NOT the Marrying Kind!
http://janddsmom.blogspot.com/2013/12/elopement-and-not-marrying-kind.html
Life and Boxes of Cheerios. All about my life with two special needs kiddos and boxes of Cheerios. Monday, December 30, 2013. Elopement and NOT the Marrying Kind! I write in here sporadically now. I do try to keep more time to do this, but at the end of the day.I don't know, I'm exhausted! It's hard to stay awake when your youngest child (who I swear is bent on world domination) is awake every morning lately at no latter than 4 am! He comes running to me, she's yelling at me, but what she said, I have no...

Life and Boxes of Cheerios: February 2013
http://janddsmom.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Life and Boxes of Cheerios. All about my life with two special needs kiddos and boxes of Cheerios. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. A little girl named Mary. It occurs to me that I haven't written anything in a long time. Life gets in the way sometimes. All the expected things and all the completely unexpected things as well. So, why am I sad and frustrated? I know I was that way and I know that one little girl, Mary, was her name, changed my whole life and I was never more grateful that she did too. Mary, wh...

http://janddsmom.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Life and Boxes of Cheerios. All about my life with two special needs kiddos and boxes of Cheerios. Monday, June 24, 2013. Life since Dyspraxia Diagnosis. My oldest is finally making progress though! He can tie his shoe now, well he can mostly tie his shoe now. Which is fantastic! So what if I have to retie it sometimes, most of the time or if he can only do it once or twice a day, the point is, he can do it now! Riding a bike.this is a work in progress for sure. He needs to learn balance and them...Once ...

Life and Boxes of Cheerios: Distracted
http://janddsmom.blogspot.com/2013/10/distracted.html
Life and Boxes of Cheerios. All about my life with two special needs kiddos and boxes of Cheerios. Saturday, October 26, 2013. Life with children is.hard. Not in a bad way, nor a poor pitiful me way. It's just hard to balance it; to get it right. They don't come with instructions, there is no one there really to fix what you break, or erase your mistakes. It is just is what it is and having two special needs children, in my most likely jaded opinion, is truly hard. I hear the statistics too, you know?

Life and Boxes of Cheerios: Bath Times
http://janddsmom.blogspot.com/2014/01/bath-times.html
Life and Boxes of Cheerios. All about my life with two special needs kiddos and boxes of Cheerios. Friday, January 10, 2014. There are random times in our lives when we feel at peace. We're lucky to get that moment once in a lifetime, once a month, once or week or even once a day. Despite the choas that is the boys' and my life, my favorite moment of the day is at and after bathtime. Yep, that's right, they're thrown in the tub, right before they get the chance to wear more food than they eat! 4) Last, b...

Life and Boxes of Cheerios: Confessions of TS mom

Life and Boxes of Cheerios. All about my life with two special needs kiddos and boxes of Cheerios. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Confessions of TS mom. I can't complain really. I mean in the grand scheme of things it could be worse - a lot worse. I KNOW this. Down to my toes I know this, but as his mom.it's killing me. So, as the last several months have agonizingly crept by and I've watched OCD slowly creep back into his life, his meltdowns become more and more aggressive, and slowly, but devastatingly, w...

Life and Boxes of Cheerios: March 2013
http://janddsmom.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Life and Boxes of Cheerios. All about my life with two special needs kiddos and boxes of Cheerios. Saturday, March 30, 2013. I Gonna Wear Hearing Aids. This is what my youngest declared happily to his new audiologist last week. To which she actually said, "You just might buddy.". There is nothing wrong with that. Absolutely nothing! And then tell you, your child's hearing is fine. The audiologist is concerned enough at where it sits to have us come back in another 4 weeks to recheck even. So, am I upset?
