    • Stop in the name of love, before you break my heart May 21, 2012
      Thursday was the school Spring Concert at Max's school. He had great success at the last one, and I'd heard through the teacher grapevine he was doing well at rehearsals. The theme: oldie songs. This was Max's debut at the keyboard. At the last concert, some kids in his class had played; my inner stage-mom came out and I thought, Max could do […]

    • IMFAR 2012: Decompression Interlude May 21, 2012
      We'll be posting about IMFAR 2012 over the next week or so, once we all catch our breath. In the mean time, see if you can identify the four people in this photo, which was taken when said folk peered over an iPad after nearly an hour of intense discussion.

    • Sewing May 21, 2012
      Junior wanted to help me with some sewing today so we hooked up his head switch so he could run the machine.  He loves to sew and especially loves being in control.  Today he thought it was very funny to suddenly stop the machine then he would start if for a second then stop it right away.  Of course he would then laugh and give me the "who me" loo […]

    • Conversations With Kayla May 21, 2012

He asked her "what is wrong with that one?" trying to get her to explain why it was wrong - what letter didn't belong or was out of place. She said, "It […]

    • Interactive Reading with the Talker May 21, 2012
      Last week I began gathering some information on how to use the talker most effectively when I'm speaking to Maya.  If you're not a speech/AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) person, this might sound strange, since Maya understands me perfectly without involving the talker at all . . . but think of it as learning a foreign language.  If […]

    • Why I support gay marriage May 20, 2012
      I'm saying WHY I support it, and not THAT I support it, because honestly there should simply be no question about it. There is no rational reason why somebody should not support the idea of two people who love each other getting married. I don't even want to hear any explanations about it, because if you don't support gay marriage? You're […]

    • 3 signs you're getting old May 20, 2012
      Sign #1: The other day, you saw the Harvard baseball players lip-synching to Call Me Maybe on the Today show. When you watch the viral video on YouTube, your 7-year-old thinks it's SO funny that Mommy is watching that. She's known the song for months.   Sign #2: You think the guys are cute but what most excites you is that their YouTube channel sup […]
