Emmett and I are hanging out this morning. So far we have built Portal guns out of Lego's, watched Phenias and Ferb and now we are playing a game on the computer while he eats a snack. We're playing Sonic Generations and I can't stress enough how much I hate Sonic the freaking Hedgehog. Gavin killed it for me when he was younger. He became totally obsessed with everything Sonic the Hedgehog. All he endlessly talked about was Sonic and it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Having said that, the boys love Sonic, so I just grit my teeth and bare it. So....with that in mind, is there a game or TV show that your child loves but you can't stand? Please share with the class.. ;)…

Elliott is on his way to get his tooth fixed. I'm not sure what they are actually going to do because it's a baby tooth. Strangely enough, he doesn't seem to be in any pain right now. Thankfully, he's not very nervous. Hopefully, that will remain the case for the duration. I've promised him some extended Portal 2 time when he gets back. That will give him something to focus on. He patiently waited to leave this morning by sitting on the couch and watching TV for a little while. This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

Things are so bad for Lizze any more she literally hides from the light because it hurts her eyes. She fell asleep on the couch, hiding under a pillow to escape the pain inducing light. I wish there was something more we could do to help her. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

One of my favorite things in life is watching how Emmett is with Bella. For a child with autism to come out of their shell as a result of a puppy, I think that's amazing. In fact, it's a miracle... Every time I watch them together, I realize how lucky we are that they have this truly amazing bond. This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

This morning began with more Gavin related issues. We have had to make a rule that when he's in his bedroom, he needs permission to leave.  This is a huge PITA but it helps to ensure everyone's safety. This morning, Gavin asked me if he could use the bathroom.  I said sure, gobuse the bathroom.  I was in my room,  still waking up. Next thing I know,  Lizze is standing there asking me if I had given Gavin permission to go downstairs.  I said no, because I hadn't.  Apparently, Gavin told Lizze that I had given him said permission to leave his room and go downstairs.  That simply was not the case. Lizze and I have told Gavin,  over and over again that we will always check with each other…
