Little Bitty's end of year party

Little Bitty's class had their end of year party on Wednesday. They had bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and sandboxes with buckets and toys (just right for a class of 3-4 yr olds). He didn't even realize we were there at first. Finally I knelt down by him, gently touched his arm, and said hello, but he still didn't look up or acknowledge me. So I just started playing in the sand next...

End of the school year

Cuddlebug and Bearhug had their end of year party at school this past Friday. I took the afternoon off from work so dh and I could go.

Who put his shoes on this morning?

Apparently he put his own shoes on this morning, only instead of his shoes, he put on an old pair of his big brother's shoes. He loves...

A Brief Introduction

I am the mom of 3 little boys - 6-yr-old twins and a 3 yr old. Our twins were diagnosed with autism and sensory integration disorder at age 3. Looking back, there were signs of autism from birth but we didn't recognize them at the time. We knew they were "different" from other kids but we were first-time parents so didn't always realize how different, and when we did we just attributed it to being preemies or twins or boys... until finally by age 3 we knew there was more to it than that.They have...

His background is in teaching & coaching (football) so he has lots of creative ideas for keeping the boys active and learning. He loves college football (can you say fanatic??) and keeps track of pretty much all the teams and players...

Welcome!

They are always running around the house in circles, sometimes chasing each other, sometimes just bumping into each other along the way.More to come...
