http://funwiththewatsons.blogspot.com/2011/02/sydneys-6th-birthday.html
Fun with the Watsons. Mothering. Low-budget adventures. Kid antics. Travel. Outdoorsy activities. Welcome. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. For breakfast, I made her some pancakes with buttermilk sauce, drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkles. The buttermilk sauce tastes like caramel, and it's awesome on scones, pancakes, french toast, or probably just about anything. Anyway, I'm getting hungry, so I'd better get back on the birthday topic. What a fun birthday for a special little girl! Youre my very best f...

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Right on the Developmental Track. A few weeks ago, Maya cut her own hair. You may have read about it on our family blog.

Yes, we often wonder if certain behaviors are the autism or just being a brat. February 13, 2010 at 1:02 PM. It is odd to root for brat, isnt it? February 17, 2010 at 8:12 PM. The Explosive Chil...

Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Maya's First Week of First Grade. I know this happened in August, but I wanted to write about it. Maya was supposed to go to a different school this year than she did for kindergarten. We got a letter notifying us of this change in the summer. We were under the impression that many of the students in her class would be moving schools also. While we weren't happy about the change, and we weren't sure why it was happening, we thought it would be doable because:. Mrs Bourdo had ta...

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. A Huge Breakthrough: Yes and No. Most people take for granted that their kids will be able to answer questions with a "yes" or "no" at some point early in their lives. One of the red flags to us in Maya's first few years is that she would not use yes and no to answer questions. For instance, when she was 3 or 4, we would say, "Maya, do you want a piece of pizza? About 2 months ago, she started using yes and no! Some of the Reasons Behind the Meltdowns and the Inflexibility.

Saturday, January 30, 2010. Being Proactive: Preparing for New Situations. So what can be done to prepare them? We had a lot of success last summer with using a story book sort of format to prepare Maya for new situations. Often, stories like this that are specifically designed for kids on the autism spectrum are called social stories. To see the book, Our Airplane Trip. It shows up on a website called scribd. Which is the only way I know how to post a pdf. Thursday, January 28, 2010. And she would answe...
