Our battle with Sensory Processing Disorder: What is It & What do we do Now?

It really wasn't until Cocoa Puff was born that we realized that there was something a little off about his older brother Froot Loop. We now know that Froot Loop likely has Sensory Processing Disorder and is probably on the autism spectrum (suspected Aspergers). Preschool has really been a huge help for him, but before there was preschool, we had several toys and tools that seemed to help him. Read on to see more: 

Quickie Questions: Glasses Edition

It's Monday again. I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Let's get this week started with this week's Quickie Question, where I ask y'all a question to get you talking in the comments. This week's question: 

Quickie Questions: This one is a REALLY personal one!

Well, Froot Loop is finally back to preschool today and we are beyond ready to get back to our routines! Everything's been helter-skelter around here and there were days I was even having trouble finding time to take a shower (and a few days where I didn't!).

Update on Froot Loop: What Happened On the Day of Ear Tube & Adenoid Surgery

Holy cow, it was a long day. Froot Loop was up way too late last night because he was worked up and "excited" about his surgery. That set back everyone elses bedtimes and I got to bed late too. Then, of course, it had to storm all night. So, I got two hours of sleep, plus a little bit of dozing between 3-5 AM.
