In spirit of St. Patrick's Day, we made rainbows. I found this wonderful activity at Preschool Playbook under the St. Patrick's Day theme. I just changed it up a little. On a piece of construction paper, I drew six arched lines. We talked about the order of colors in a rainbow. I poured Fruit Loop cereal into a 9x13 pan. We started with ...

Review: What’s In the Bible
For several days I have been tempting you with little sneak peaks into the newly anticipated "What's in the Bible?" by Veggie Tales creator Phil Vischer. Today's the day that I am finally going to get to the nitty-gritty. The good. The bad. The ugly. Positives - Phil Vischer set out to teach the Bible in 13 videos (the first two just ...

Rough Week
Our rough stage continues - day six. I just got off the phone with our OT (did I mention how much I praise God for this lady!). She is going to have us start using a "brushing technique" and is also going to put Bubs on a behavior plan that he has to bring back to her at therapy on Monday. She was amazed at how far Bubs has regressed. I think ...
What’s in the Bible?
What's in the Bible?: Genesis - Volume 1, In the Beginning DVD As I stated yesterday, our family has been given the awesome opportunity to get a sneak peak preview of the brand new series What's in the Bible?.

What’s In the Bible
What's in the Bible?: Genesis - Volume 1, In the Beginning DVD My family and I just sat down to view the very first video in the brand new - not released yet - DVD series called What's in the Bible.

Finding the Right Therapist
Throughout the blog, I’ve shared how grateful I am for our Occupational Therapist. Ms. Wendy truly is a gift from God. She challenges Bubs to grow and improve, and she partners with us so we can support him at home. I regularly thank God for leading us to her. It’s through OT that we’ve seen such incredible growth—honestly, it feels like we’ve ...
Stop the Silly?
I feel like I have a pretty good idea of how to handle a large part of Bubs' sensory issues. But there is one that I am struggling with. That is silliness. Bubs is excessively silly. Not just five-year-old-silly. I realize that this is common of these kids. I am talking over the top. So, I turn the tables and ask for your help!! How do ...
Rough Weekend
Bubs had a really rough weekend. It was a roller coaster of emotions with him happy at one moment and screaming fit for the next. As I have stated before, Bubs is a very sweet little boy. His "fits" are so few and far between now that when they hit it totally takes me by surprise. I have had others ask me what I mean by "fit". Good ...
