A phone call away.

A very dear friend of mine passed away rather quickly. She had been bravely fighting cancer. She celebrated the end of her chemo treatments. And less than a month later, she passed away. This took us all by surprise. And it has been devastated. Yesterday our ABA therapist sent me some videos thru google drive….

Mama.

The monkey has been in speech therapy since he was first diagnosed at two and a half years old. During the pandemic in 2019, the therapy went virtual. And he did terrible. He hated it. He was home and wanted to play, not work. We hated it because we would need to force him to…

I’m sorry please. 😞

The monkey got very upset at me this morning and poured my coffee into the sink. His way of saying: “There. You don’t get to drink your coffee.”😄 I sat him down and told him he was in time out, no iPad. He cried and cried. We talked about what he did. How it’s okay…
