Today was a little impromptu road trip to San Antonio to look at/buy a car. My husband was in the works to buy his very first Camaro when {surprise!} we were pregnant with my son. Needless to say, that dream was pushed to the back burner with a quickness. The necessities of the many outweigh…
Photo Credit: growingupfortcollins.com So I have been tirelessly searching for an appropriate activity (as though I don’t run around enough for therapy) that Jp can join and expand his social horizons. I want him to have more interaction with peers and at least some time per week that is dedicated to a physical activity that…
I have mentioned before that my friends all have little girls. More accurately..little princesses. The dirt hating, dress wearing, tea-party-and-doll-loving princesses that Jp cannot relate to when we have play dates. His interests are more geared toward running, yelling, screaming, rolling around, and chasing EVERYTHING. He’s a boy, they do boy things. Little girls are…
With communication being what it is in our family I haven’t had as many “Out of the mouth of babes” moments. So this one I must share since I absolutely cannot stop laughing about it. Jp has just discovered his “pee-pee” (of which I am sure he will have a love affair with for his…

I must admit that while as much as I enjoy purging my inner thoughts and feelings into the world in my blog, I equally enjoy reading the musings of others. I was shocked at the sheer magnitude…
I came home last night after running errands for a few hours. Jp came running to the door. “Mamma! Mamma! Mamma! Hug!”. Who is this child? When did he learn the word hug? While I love that child with the fire of a thousand sons, evenings in our home are hit or miss. Jp only…
Photo Credit: Bornpowerful.com ***Anyone that follows my blog-or even catches one from time to time-knows by now that I am honest to a verging-on-unpopular-fault when it comes to the challenges I and my family have been facing recently concerning my son and his development. So with this post be warned, I am going to be…
Read more It’s personal…so I can only tell utter and complete strangers, if that makes sense.
Jargon– vocalizations of young children that consist of several strings of consonants and vowels and may sound like speech, even though they are not true words. Real words may be mixed in with a child’s jargon. This is a developmental stage. Jp is a big fan of jargon. By this I mean, a BIG fan.…

Father and Son Today was Jp’s evaluation. Which went about the way I expected. I told Dana when we arrived about my hypothesis from my weekend of “testing” and we decided to start the evaluation just to see where he stood. I could tell by her demeanor that she had not written the previous test…
Over the weekend I have really been focusing on asking Jp questions and requesting things of him. Without using gestures. None at all. Examples: Can you throw me the ball? Put the cup on the table. Do you want a cracker? Where is lovey? Do you want to go outside? The conclusion I have come…
