Yesterday was an AWFUL day for Little Bubs. Bad choice after bad choice occurred. At one point he jumped up and down screaming for 15 minutes outside trying to get control (sure glad we live in the country!!). I even tried to do a special activity, just the two of us, of making cookies to try and help curve the downward spiral. Last evening, my ...
Day to Day
Better
I am very thankful to say that Bubs has calmed down immensely this week. The divergent of company last weekend definitely helped. PTL!On Monday night, we took a walk as a family. It was bed time and Daddy and I wanted to get one more "lap" in. So, we explained to Bubs and Sweet Pea that we were going to walk one more time. They were supposed to ...
Full Moon Indeed
We are up to our armpits in rotten attitude and disrespectful attitude. Bubs is really struggling to stay in control and keeping his words loving. He struggled at therapy today with focus and diligent work. It has been a tough few days to say the least. Bubs continues to be very mean to his siblings at times. In some ways, I believe the ...
Here We Go Again
We knew that our "great" days weren't going to last forever. The signs showed that it would be over soon. Bubs has been waking up in the middle of the night just bawling. I truly believe he doesn't know why he is doing this but just can't stop. Bubs has been all over his little brother - just smothering him with kisses and hugs. Thirdly, Bubs has ...

Not be embarrassed because of a few good days!Bubs has had a great few days. On Saturday he struggled to stay in control but we had company and it was ...
Kisses Mommy?
You know when you have those moments with your child that you truly want to freeze time? You want to hold on to that moment and never let it go. Those of you who have kids will disabilities, you understand that those moments are even more precious.Last weekend, Bubs was introduced to butterfly kisses. These eyelash kisses were made popular about 13 ...
Transparency
Some sweet friends of ours are battling cancer right now. It is amazing how the couple who is struggling actually turns out to be the couple who is blessing everyone! One of the blessings that I have received is in reading their blog. I continue to be blessed by their strength and reliance on the Lord. But, the biggest blessing that I have ...
Praise God for Little Steps
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 ...
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. I truly believe that he doesn't realize how loud he is. ...
I Obeyed!
I just asked Bubs to take a shirt to the laundry room to be washed. He immediately picked it up and said "okay". Then he turned to me with a huge smile and said "I just obeyed, Mommy, right away." Oh those little things! ...
