Am I the only out there addicted to this show?
I am not really a TV sort of person. I like Grey’s Anatomy and Numb3rs, but it’s okay if I miss them and catch them later.
But Moonlight? My knees go week like a schoolgirl just looking at promo shots of the show. This is sooo not [...]

GlitterGirl and I carved the pumpkin this afternoon while TwinkleToes napped.
GlitterGirl still deals with sensory stuff, but I insisted that if she wanted to help carve the pumpkin, she had to help gut the pumpkin. And she did. And was completely grossed out about it, but by the end she was laughing about how gross [...]

I wondered the other day if TwinkleToes not actually making deposits into the potty anymore might be a control thing. I said that if I knew it was I’d take away the option for a while, but at the time I was not convinced it was.
And then she did a few things that convinced me [...]

GlitterGirl has used a computer since she was very small. We started with the lapware games and moved up from there.
And now GlitterGirl loves to sit TwinkleToes on her lap and go to the Sesame Street site and let TT play with Elmo. They are so cute, sitting together at GG’s desk. And, as [...]

The other day at a GG function one of the other moms said “who’s this?” and pointed to me. Twinkletoes said “mama” and the other mom said, “Do you love your mama?” And TT gave me the biggest hug EVER, she’s never held me that tightly before.
I almost started crying right there in front of [...]

I don’t remember GlitterGirl asking “why?” this early. I was thinking GG was three when we hit that particular stage.
But, TwinkleToes is there.
Yesterday I thought maybe it was a fluke. But then this morning I said “let’s put your shoes on” and I got “why?”. I said “Because we are about to leave, and it’s [...]

TwinkleToes has decided she likes to sit on the potty and read books, but she does not like to make any actual deposits into the potty anymore.
I don’t know if this is a control issue on her part, or something else. If I was sure it was a control issue I’d take up all of [...]

In the past I’d go through GlitterGirl’s clothes every fall and spring and box up the stuff she’d likely not be able to fit into when they came back into season, move the stuff that would probably fit when they came back into season to the back of the closet, and pull everything forward that [...]

There is this boy in GlitterGirls’ class who is very socially backwards. Very. Socially. Backwards. I really feel sorry for him, he tries, but it’s like he has no filter that tells him what is socially acceptable and what is not. His mom is a bit of a socialite, so it’s not that he [...]

GlitterGirl has taught TwinkleToes to be a puppy dog. TwinkleToes follows her around on all fours, barking. TwinkleToes sits, lays down, rolls over, and begs on command. And often times not on command.
I started to put a stop to it because it bothered me. But then I realized it didn’t bother them and they [...]
