My son loves our cat Jules. He loves him like crazy and considers him his friend. For my son, the cat is as good or better then any PCH Treatment around. The cat is the first thing that my son asks for when he gets home. My son talks to the cat, he’s even been [...]

the other day my son’s class had an outing to a local department store. I sent along $5 for him to buy something. He decided he wanted this hat. This is interesting to me because he doesn’t wear hats, as soon as I put them on he takes them off. Since bringing the hat home, [...]

My youngest son has Down Syndrome and severe speech delays. There are many times he cannot make himself understood, and others that only his father and I can understand him. Because he can’t always communicate effectively, he gets frustrated at times, understandably so. I’ve often felt most sympathetic for him at times like when he [...]

Remember RB added a kitten into the family while I was in LA? She’s a kitten. what more can I say. Actually, I can say a lot. One of the things I will say is that she is awesome with my son. If he isn’t taking her somewhere then she’s going to him. Now my [...]

shortly before CJ’s bedtime last night it got awfully quiet. I crept around the corner and found him in my bed, with the PBS Kids channel on. When he realized I was there he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep with a fake snore. I took this when he couldn’t keep his eyes [...]

CJ has alopecia areata. Male pattern baldness. His hair doesn’t grow in evenly and he ends up with bald spots all over the place so generally we buzz his head. A few days ago the hair he had was getting long, so I told RB it was time to buzz it. Into the bathroom we [...]

Tonight was our monthly PTA meeting. I came home steaming mad, questioning myself on if it was worth it to be there. I’ll spare you the storm and drang of the meeting and get right to what’s on my mind. Part of the goal of the SEPTA, or mission statement, reads as follows. We will [...]

Real Kids Shades Review – With Giveaway

valmg | Sun 02-28-10

Long ago I came to the conclusion that seasonal merchandising means you cannot get what you need when you most need it. Example. You find you need to replace your winter pajamas or slippers in February and can’t because they’re no longer on sale. That’s right folks. Summer items are starting to appear in local [...]
