When Bubs was in the NICU, the nurses told us "two steps forward, one step back." I can't tell you how true that was. He would be doing better which lead to us getting our hopes up and then something would happen. I have reminded myself of this concept throughout our experience with Bubs' sensory issues. We have good days and then those days when I ...
Day to Day
Can You Hear Me Now?
We have had a full moon come and go without too much fanfare. I wonder if it will still hit or truly pass by. That is not to say that everything is smooth sailing but we haven't had the huge melt downs for several days in a row. Right now Bubs is struggling to keep his volume in check.

My tension level has been so high today because of the noise level. I truly believe he doesn't realize that he is that loud. He looks at me with those adorable ...
