Do You See that Look?
A few weeks ago, I blogged about the horrific behavior we were seeing out of Bubs. It was truly the worst six days that we had had since starting therapy. Seriously the choices that he was making worried me. But it was the look in his eyes that truly scared me. It was a look that showed defiance, a stronghold, and ...

Night Terrors
We know when they are going to occur. We do the best that we can to deter them. Sometimes life just brings them about. Night Terrors. I have written before about Bubs struggle with night terrors. Thankfully, they have gotten few and further between as Bubs gets older. But we know any time that Bubs plays too hard or ...
