So I was thinking about Baby Girl’s milk allergy and how it affects the skin on her legs (they always feel rough).  Acroboy has similar feeling skin on his legs.  I decided to take his older brother and him into the allergist to see if […]

      You may have heard about the mom of an ASD boy, Max, who about a month ago received an anonymous and extremely hateful letter. I was pretty shocked when I first read about it.  I was also upset, a bit angry and […]

Back in July I wrote how I took BabyGirl into our favorite Autism medical center for her sibling study evaluation.  She excels at gross motor skills (we knew she did), but she is a bit more behind in expressive speech.  It’s been over a month, […]
