Hi all. I apologize for the lack of posts this past week. We've all been sick and it's been crazy town around here. I currently have a kid throwing up and the other one is having trouble sleeping because of a mental growth spurt.
Welcome to part 3 of my Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) Tools of the trade series. This post HERE is the one that started it all, with a huge summary of what SPD is and our struggles with it with Froot Loop. Keep reading for some tools and toys that have helped us on our SPD journey.

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:
Woo Hoo! Every year, the National Park Service sets aside several days where everyone can get in free! See the article below from nps.gov for the dates in 2017!
When I went over to school to pick up Froot Loop today, he was super excited! He had won a prize for being the ONLY kid in the pre-k class to go over to the carpet squares and sit down quietly. I am so proud of him.
It's finally getting a little colder here in South Texas. We had a brief cold snap earlier, but it lasted only 2 days! I'm from the mountains... I want some COLD WEATHER!
So, here's a fun recipe for one of my favorites: Butternut Squash Soup! Enjoy and let me know how you like it. I've included several variations that I've tried over the years.
Here in Texas, we don’t have school “quarters” like I did growing up in the midwest. We divide the school year into 6 sets of 6 weeks. Well, right before Christmas was the end of the third set of six weeks. Since our little guy joined school late- in early December- he only had about 10 days before his first report card.
