Today is Prematurity Awareness Day.
To learn more, visit the March of Dimes.
Click here to read our NICU story (Cuddlebug and Bearhug were born 6 1/2 weeks early due to severe pre-eclampsia).
Here's a repost of my earlier prematurity awareness post (slightly edited):

Did you know that 1 in 8 babies is born prematurely in the U.S.? In approximately 40% of cases,...

Creeeeper and aliens
Comments (1)Labels: Halloween, pictures
Quick update on our Halloween:
Bitty wanted to be a Minecraft creeper so I resized Cuddlebug's costume from last year:
Bearhug and Cuddlebug didn't want to wear a costume, so they went as "aliens pretending to be humans."
And of course, any self-respecting alien pretending to be human would want to be a Longhorn fan, am I right? ;) (hook 'em!! \m/ )
This is Bearhug (that...

Little Bitty Director
Comments (2)Labels: creativity, pictures, video
I shared previously some of Bitty's work creating short movies with series' of still-shots of his trains.
He has since moved on to borrowing my camcorder (and tripod) and taking short video clips of his trains, or his characters in Roblox (an online building game where you can design your own "world"). He plays music (mostly his new favorite-evah song - "Break My Stride") or...

A Close Shave
Comments (1)Labels: autism, pictures, pretend play, silly boys, Thomas and Friends
Bitty acting out a scene from "A Close Shave for Duck" (from Thomas, of course), with a bubble beard :).
His favorite episodes are the ones with crashes (of course!) and his favorite line, which we hear repeated often as he throws himself to the floor, is "... but it was TOO LATE!!" lol
Have I mentioned how much I love seeing him pretend play? :...

Handsome x3

We got the boys some new dress clothes for church :).
When Cuddlebug and Bearhug were little, we had a hard time getting them to wear anything other than their usual day-to-day clothes, largely due to their sensory issues. Church was enough of a battle without adding to it by forcing them to wear uncomfortable clothes - and so we have always let them wear polo shirts and khaki...

A little water-fun downtime after the first week of school. Those smiles say it all, right?
Bearhug as zombie. Be afraid... be very afraid!

Leavin' on a jet plane...

This summer I took Bearhug and Cuddlebug on a trip to visit family. Bitty and dh stayed home, mostly because we're not quite ready to try air travel with Bitty just yet.
This was Cuddlebug and Bearhug's second trip on a plane, and they did great with the airport procedures, etc. It helped that we took the earliest flight possible in the morning so it wasn't too crowded when we...

Sensory coping success
Comments (2)Labels: 4th of July, fireworks, holiday fun, ideas and tips, sensory
The slightest hint of a popping sound in the distance.
The sight of them boxed up at those tents that start springing up about a month in advance.
Even a mention of the word "fireworks" is enough to bring on a screaming fit of terror.
(leave it to big brother Cuddlebug to notice that and start trying to work the word "fireworks" into his conversations just to get a reaction...
