Not much happening here jsut waiting for that last day of school and Summer break to begin. Mav has a few Dr appointments this coming week so there will be lots to read next week. He's still not 100% healthy was home sick from school 2 times this week. He is chatting lots most inhis own jibber but that's fine. He loves watching Bambi the movie right now. He got a new favorite blue cup this past week more like a big boys cup but still a safety sipper. We are still using the monkey backpack/safety harness where ever we go and he is doing alright with it most of the time except when he gets mad at me and says "NO MINE" and pulls the strap. He's funny! He is a little on the onry side not sure why. He is still trying the potty out he sits on it a couple times a day most of the time nothing happens just a sit down and then get up pull the pants back on with a smile. Good stuff! till next time~

The dude and I went for a visit at his new school/class room yesterday. What an adventure he was so full of crap and just totally not the dude he usually is. He didn't want to sit for group, didn't want to be with me, didn't want to participate, he did want to bite me, scream, trash around. I was kinda embarassed cause he was just not acting the way I thought he would. I do think he liked the room and the Teacher I just think I picked the wrong time to take him. Not how next year will go since he will be going to school all day. I am a bit more nervous about it now after seeing how he was yesterday. Love him but man he made me want to have a meltdown yesterday. I was so ready to relax when Louis got home Hi dad it's your turn the all hard "wonderful" days. We had a moon change maybe that is what did it everyone in our house was a pleasure yesterday:(
See I told you not every post would be happy go lucky. See See SEE!

Found this on my google adventure search today. This is what i was tryign to say last week.
You can read the rest here http://www.marshfieldnewsherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080501/MNH06/805010303/1785
Remember the 'person first'
Editor: I want to start off by thanking the News-Herald for their week-long series on autism. It is important that the public gets an insight into what it is like to live with autism. I do, however, have one complaint on how the articles were written.
Several times throughout all of the articles the phrase "autistic child" was used. In my work with these children, I was taught by a parent who strongly advocated for her son, that there is such thing as "person first" language. People should not be defined by their disability/condition, but rather should be referred to as a person first. Instead of "autistic child", you would say "a child with autism," hence the phrase "person first."
When I first was made aware of this, I thought it was just political correctness going a little far. However, after spending many hours with children and families affected by autism, I realized that it really does matter how you phrase things. There are real people behind autism, as shown in the articles this past week.
All I ask is that people are aware that there is a more respectful way to refer to people who are different than us and we should do our best to use "person first" language whenever we can. WENDY CANTARELLA
