Hi....I'm new here.

I've been cautious about blogging until now. I was worried I
wouldn't be funny enough, informative enough or interesting
enough. Then I decided what the heck I have nothing to lose
and a lot of the stuff that happens in our everyday lives is
pretty funny sometimes.

We have had days when our son wouldn't keep his clothes on
and we'd see a naked little white butt streaking through the
living room. Or he'd be climbing the grids in our old divided
light windows while naked......did I mention it was an 11X15
window on the front of our house and we used to live on the
corner so everyone could see him coming and going. LOL I'm
sure our neighbors would tell people to take a left at the naked
boy in the window on the yellow house while giving directions.
We would just laugh to ourselves after signing for no and putting
his clothes back on again. It’s never boring!!! Especially those
days that he digs in my plants, tries to escape the house or
flushes the potty 20 times an hour now that he's finally potty
training.

Then, I have my days like yesterday when my son melted down
in the Orthopedist's waiting room as the reception staff complained
about the noise & some mom of "typical" kids glared at me. Trust
me if I could have gotten him to stop head butting me, pinching me
or screaming I would have done it. Thankfully my husband was able
to join us at the doctor's appointment & helped me get him settled
down. I did wish for one of those scrolling LED displays above my
head that said sorry he has a difficult time waiting 2 hours in a
waiting room now that he has Regressive Autism after being
vaccination injured by the MMR.

I'm sure prior to having my own kids I passed a judgmental glance
or two myself. I just want to offer any of those parents where ever
they are now my apologies just in case they were walking a mile in
my shoes before I ever even filled them. Its all of those pioneers
that haven't given up and haven't stopped looking for something
that can help our kids that have made it better for kids like mine
now as a Preschooler. I applaud all of you parents for not giving up!!
I know its not easy & you often sacrifice all that you are for your
children. Thank you.
