How we spent our week after quitting camp
Our camp week, while not spent at camp, was not idle. Zoe had planned on being busy so she kept to her plan. She got a little sewing introduction, which she enjoyed and it’s a valuable skill to have. We might build on that some for school this year. I got plenty done outside as well. Zoe kept m

We quit day camp after one day
Normally after her week of camp, I have a few cute photos of her conducting the children’s choir while they sing, of the craft she made and of all the things she wants photos of during the week (usually the color coded signs for each group). This year I didn’t get any of those photos because we

Our 4th of July weekend without šŸŽ†
It was calm (except that it sounded like we were caught in a firefight between opposing gangs-fireworks were legalized in our town last year šŸ˜… And the people are VERY excited about it.). So other than that, it was ā€œquiet.ā€ šŸ˜‚ We kind of missed getting out and going to watch a fireworks show, but

A little q&a 🌺

Brunch + an 8 hour drive
Going to brunch before we leave on the day we’re driving home means a later arrival, but starting the trip bursting at the seams also means few stops. šŸ˜… And we needed to get out of the house a little earlier for another showing anyway. I love our home, but I so wish it was closer to the ocea

Always cleaning someone’s house, and no one has ever minded. ā¤ļø
We had a nice trip, even though it was short, and got some good visiting time in. Scroll to the middle to see TONS of tiny crabs and scroll to the end to see Zoe eating ā€œfridge food,ā€ as she’s been calling it. 🄰 (She’s using ā€œfridge foodā€ to describe any food that she can eat in the same form we w

Visiting my mom and stepdad for a long weekend. šŸ–ļø
It’s a long drive, but not quite as far as we usually drive to go on vacation. The prep is very similar for us to go on vacation even though these trips are shorter (for vacations we are usually gone a week+). We still prep Zoe’s food and freeze it beforehand, still take our cooler to transport it,

Happy Father’s Day, Grady! ā¤ļø
I couldn’t have asked for a better daddy for my girls than Grady. He has far exceeded what I hoped for, and I love having a fun partner in raising our daughters. He is fun, helpful, strong, encouraging, supportive and so many more things for us everyday. Happy Father’s Day, Grady! ā¤ļø #fathe

How Zoe enjoyed her sister’s graduation party. 🧽 Both girls had a good time at the party, just in different ways. Zoe did eventually join the party for some ice cream and a few photos (see the end of the video), but she spent most of the time cleaning. I don’t think that Abby minded. She und

Zoe’s trying so many new foods lately! 🤩
I’m loving this independence, and I’m so excited for her and what this could mean for her future. #autismparenting #autismacceptance #feedingtherapy #Moebiussyndrome

I will never complain about having such a great helper around here, but I might complain that she doesn’t allow me to be as lazy as I’d like to be some days. šŸ˜… Zoe definitely has days that she doesn’t want to do much but sit in her cute bedroom and read, only coming out to eat (much like a typic

It’s not blocks everyday, and it’s often that her preference for routine wins out, and when she does wake up with plans, she still wants to stay in her morning routine. Those days she’ll tell me what she wants to do and we talk about the best time for her plans. It’s usually after she’s dressed

I was so tired, but the ending was so worth it. This is why we stopped feeding therapy. Because not going and *trying* to motivate her to try new foods for 30 minutes every week or two wasn’t working, but giving her the space to do it on her own has resulted in HUGE progress, not just in the willi

We started having the girls make a vacation wishlist before a trip when they were little so that we knew the things that were most important to them, and that has been one of my favorite pre-trip traditions. Often, the parts of the trip they most look forward to aren’t the dolphin cruises, the

Replying to @SpamBish I get lots of questions and suggestions about our food storage choices, and lot of the suggestions are options I just honestly hadn’t considered. Some of them require equipment we don’t have and have no experience using, some of them are just things we hadn’t thought about, bu

This was a fun trip to the bookstore for Zoe. Books are one of her favorite things in the world, and she never gets tired of them. She’s been this way since she was tiny, long before she could read. Back then, her favorites were always touch and feel books. She rediscovered them a few years ago and

Zoe gets new AFOs when she outgrows the ones she’s wearing or when they are wearing out. If she needs a different type of support, we usually make those changes when it’s time for new ones. In this case, she’d been wearing the same ones for nearly a year because her feet just hadn’t grown, but they

She had JUST been sitting at the table in the dining room eating her chocolate bunny while I took the dog out for a quick break. I came back inside to find her carrying the very full laundry basket, ready to get started folding. Also on this same day, I went to check the mail and even I came ba

I can’t believe this was 3 years ago! A few takeaways, my hair looked ROUGH after that 12 hour drive šŸ˜‚šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø, Zoe was SO LITTLE, and her priorities have changed some on vacation. When we get there, she still wants to explore, go out on the balcony, find the laundry machines, but they aren’t a
