I'm going to gloss over yesterday very quickly, I did a little Pick My Red Nose in keeping with Comic Relief etc. I figured that everyone would be laughing away at - the Simon Cowell marriage sketch, for example - the comedy, far more interesting than... Read more

Red would seem to be an important colour in our house. I'll give a few examples: Football shirts: Hubbie and T support a blue-shirted team. A friend of Hubbie's - who supported the same team - refused to talk to someone if he wore a red football shirt.... Read more

I would, I really really would. But of course, that's not possible. I hate seeing D so upset, so anxious, so worked up that she initially can't say what's wrong. Days like this that I wish she didn't have autism. What's that saying? "My child has autism,... Read more

D was well enough to go back to school today, she had a few anxieties this morning, mostly around the fact she wouldn't believe that it was Tuesday today and therefore she was expecting the school routine of Monday. She was happier once she saw the familiar... Read more

Awww, D was so, so excited previously about it being Mothers Day today. She'd decided that everyone "would work for you, Mumma" and had hidden her gifts until this morning. Unfortunately she got a bit over-whelmed by the occasion and the self-imposed... Read more

There is a lot of excitement from D in our house tonight because it's Mothers Day tomorrow. At school hometime yesterday, there were stage whispers to the effect of "make sure Daddy empties your bag, D, there's something in there for Sunday" and she followed... Read more
