Helping Conner



Conner has been going to therapy for a while now and I can see some improvement.  He is starting to try some new foods and if he doesn't like them that is fine with me because he at least has tried it.  The therapist has a schedule for him.  On this particular day (in the picture), he was to try 3 grains of rice and 2 spinach leaves. He eats the spinach leaves really good!! But the rice is another story.  He has never wanted to try rice but I am happy that he at least tried it.  He will only eat hamburger meat, no ketchup or buns with it, but it is his favorite meat.  He also loves tostitos. He wont eat pasta, breads or rice so I give him tostitos.  He has recently started therapy to help him with his social skills.  Every Thursday we go to therapy for an hour, one hour for food therapy and also to help him with his motor skills, his hands are weak, he has a hard time tying his shoes and then another hour for social therapy.  On Mondays he is taking tennis lessons to help his hands and legs get strong.  He walks kind of funny and turns his legs inward when he runs, which is typical of kids with Aspergers.

Avocado spread


It is funny that growing up in Puerto Rico,  my mom. dad and my brother loved avocados.  They ate them everyday.  I on the other hand did not like them.  But now I love to eat avocados and I actually put it in my salad everyday.  I also like to eat it on toast.  I mash it and add some garlic powder (not garlic salt) and some Mrs. Dash garlic and herb seasoning. It is so good!!

Blue and Gold

We had the Blue and Gold dinner this past Wednesday.  Conner got 1 gold and 2 silver arrow points.

I had an accident


I had a little accident on Sunday.  I was taking a shower, getting ready for church when my razor fell and broke. I stepped out of the shower for a second to get a new razor and when I was opening the shower door I slipped on the tiled floor and fell on my right hip. As I was falling I was holding the metal door handle and then let go of it.  As I fell I tried to grab on to something, it all was so fast that without thinking I grabbed the glass door and it just sliced my finger.  The force made the door slam on my hand too and that is when I saw the cut and the blood. I grabbed a towel and went to get Brent who had to help me get dressed and then took me to emergency room.  The doctor and the nurse were so nice and made me laugh.  He gave me a shot on my finger to numb it and that was extremely painful.  I forgot to ask how many stitches he gave me but we counted 7.  Yesterday the pain was really bad, my whole hand was hurting and pounding.  Today I am doing much better, but it is still painful and the tip of my finger feels on pins and needles.  They told me that if it doesn't get better by tomorrow I need to go back and have it checked.

Piano Federation

Today Conner had piano Federation.  He did a great job, he got Superior!! We are so proud of him!!

Practicing before his turn.

Waiting for his turn.

On our way back from Federation, Conner saw a plane writing "Jesus Loves You" in the sky. I said that it was a nice thing to write.  Conner said: "there are two reasons why it is good to write it in the sky, because Jesus is somewhere up there in outer space and because everyone can see it up there in he sky".  He is so funny!

Goofing around with the Ipad

Brent and I were playing around with the Ipad camera.


I am so blessed to have him in my life!

Conner and Mommy

We took Parker to help his friend Adam with his Eagle Scout project and it was at a very pretty park so Conner and I went and took some pictures.
