Maine!!!! I was born in Dover-Foxcroft and lived there til I was 17.Have been

back for some visits and want to return for good as soon as we know which way

the wind is blowing with little man.Some how we have this idea that living

there will be good for him-we know it will be for us.Yes I know it is colder

than here in Virginia but that is fine by us.

First thing I usually do when I cross the state line is get a Moxie and

a Needham-lol Have the apple trees started to bloom yet? My uncle owned a

huge orchard there and one of my best memories is walking through the

pathways surrounded by all these gorgeous blooms.Have you ever been clam

digging at dawn?

Ok done daydreaming now-lol

Goodness knows if we couldn't let it out we would likely blow a gasket-vent

We have been soooo depressed larely-thank goodness this list is

here.Thank you everyone.None of you has to reach out or share your personal

lives but you do and people like us who have no real source of support have

something to keep us going and to explain things to us in a way that makes

sense.We appreciate you!

doesn't " play " like a 2 yr old so now that you mention it LOL...

Oh, I think I understood you. I felt much the same way. A very laid back

mom was I.

He does love to be outside and check things out, play in the sand but its

just pile and dump, pile and dump. I guess what I was thinking is that he is

happy when he is doing that KWIM?

Putter was a veritable ray of sunshine. Give him some grass to pull up and

his mama nearby and his life was set.

Some children with autism are so overwhelmed by the confusing sensory

problems that they are very very unhappy, and I think it is much more

obviously easy to treat them. But Putter was quite quite happy and I hated

to make him unhappy especially as he had such severe separation anxiety.

Today I was all excited because I thought I could hear him playing with

matchboxes in his room so I rush in and to my horror, he is lining them

up..never done that before

Ah, I remember coming downstairs to find Putter creating color coded trains.

It gave me a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach because it was so very

different from the way my other children played.

kicked our butts LOL

No blossoms yet, its been a long winter.

that Moxie, it would be WICKED good LOL!!

LOL!

He would probably demand extra milk. Like he doesn't drink enough of it for

whatever reason.

It is 1030pm and he is still harassing Savannah demanding she intertain her.

They are the only two awake. I have no idea why he does this to her but it

has been really good for her.
