Not too much goinng on here right now. Taylor just finished her yearly fundraiser for her school. Yet again we hit the grandparents and their loaded friends. This year she (we) raised $464 dollars for her school’s “Very Special Arts” program. Not too shabby if you ask me!

This is going to be short and sweet, then I’m putting Adam and BB9 to rest. I don’t need to waste anymore time on him.

See what happened when Taylor tangoed with Mr.Toothpaste.
On Thursday, February 14, (V-Day!) Larry King Live is doing another show on autism. Details can be found here. He does some of the most informative autism shows that I have seen, so [...]

The last couple of weeks have been unusual. We’ve had snow days and 2 hour delays galore (gotta love this Michigan weather!). These types of things really mess with our schedule, but, thankfully, Taylor has been able to adjust with flying colors.
Mornings are rarely bad for us now. Hallelujah! I used to dread Taylor’s morning [...]

Last night, Doug and I went to conferences at Taylor’s school. We met with Taylor’s teacher and her 2 assistants. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about Taylor and her progress.
She’s working on several things right now. She’s been putting together an animal puzzle and matching objects She’s also been working on her [...]
