		<description><![CDATA[When you&#8217;re a mom there is always a nagging feeling that you could be doing a better job.  You should spend more time with the kids. Play more, work less.  Yesterday as I watched my two littlest people play together at the craft table I had an epiphany &#8211; sometimes less is more.

Taya is in ballet and jazz this year.  She enjoys it, and I enjoy seeing her in her cute little outfit with her new friends.  I was watching her one weekend.  She was paying attention and following directions.  She was doing well; learning and behaving.  Then, toward the end of class as they often do, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always loved a good puzzle.  There&#8217;s something about the slow, methodic process of putting a picture together out of chaos that appeals to me.  The symbol for autism is a multi-coloured puzzle piece, and it seems incredibly appropriate.
When I first heard the word autism in reference to my son, I shrugged it off. [...]]]></description>

Parx: Mom!  We&#8217;re going to the moon for five days!
Me: Uh huh.
Parx: We are going to bring you back some toys.  And some more flowers.
Me:  Oh, really?  Wow.
Parx:  See ya, Mom!  Now&#8230;we just need to make a spaceship.
Me:  Ok, how are you going to do that?

I try to have a positive outlook on things, autism in particular.  I try to pass that positivity on to all of you, and as a result I usually blog about how we have weathered some autistic storm and what we&#8217;ve learned and how everything works out.  I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Good Parents,
I know that the parents that hit their kids and ignore their kids and don&#8217;t teach their kids a damn thing about being good people get more gossip time.  I know that no one ever tells you how important the lessons you&#8217;re teaching your kids are.  But I&#8217;m here to tell you that [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s the first day of Kindergarten.  Taya is so excited to ride the big yellow school bus.  I fill her backpack and we head to the bus stop just in time.  She looks so little and so big as she climbs aboard and she barely looks back.  She&#8217;s off.  I am heading to the school, [...]]]></description>
