After being married for several years, God blessed us with the dream of a baby boy. Although the pregnancy was filled with bumps, everything looked perfect going into the birth of our son. It was almost immediately after the birth that things started to spiral out of normalcy. To make a long story short, we spent the first month of our son's life ...

A Different Path
I have decided to take this website down a little different path than I intended. Originally, I planned for the blog to consist only of issues dealing with Sensory Processing Disorder. I feel lead to open the topic up a little more to include all of our children and the challenges that we face in raising them to be godly men and woman. In the ...
Dip
We have taken a dip south these past few days with Bubs. The fits have returned filled with anger, disrespect, and yelling. Bubs is making choices that he wouldn’t normally choose. Things that he would never do – on those good weeks – he is trying. So, we send him to his “space” to get control and think about his choices. Two things really ...
Books
Bubs and I love to read together. I use reading time as many things. In the next few blogs, I will explain some of the activities that we do during our reading time.I love the Berenstain Bear books. They are filled with positive values and examples of love for each other. While reading a Berenstain Bear book, we talk about the value discussed. ...

Puzzle Buzz
I saw this new magazine/book from Highlight called Puzzle Buzz. I loved the puzzles that were in the book - mazes, dot to dots, beginner word searches, matching games, "What's Wrong?" activities, coded message, thinking puzzles, fun with numbers, drawing and coloring activities, hidden picture puzzles, and more. I was very impressed with what I ...
Drawing
We have been using the Visual Perception Worksheets to help Bubs. It is the drawing worksheets that have seen huge gains. Yesterday Bubs even drew his family. In the past, we haven't gotten past the circle for the head! The best part - he was so excited because he knew he did a great job. ...
The Plans
Unless Bubs has a major setback, our OT is sure that Bubs will be finished with therapy in September - at the one year mark. She is thrilled with the progress that he has made. We will work at home with the ABC Jesus Loves Me curriculum to prepare him for Kindergarten. We are pretty excited!!! ...
