And while my wife is who has really been present for most of it, as it’s not always easy for our whole family to show up and support, I was grateful for the moments I did get to witness.
Especially tonight, after the team lost. After they each got their rings and shook hands with the other team.
The coaches brought the boys out to right field and let all the parents know they’d get the boys together for a team photo. But as we all made our way out to grab a group pic, we watched as the coaches took time to bring each kiddo up, and speak to them in front of the team of their efforts and contributions that season. They did so with intention and such care, that each teammate who stepped up to hear the few things the coaches wanted to say, the child’s eyes were locked in on the coach speaking, with smiles and pride in their eyes. Not one kiddo looked defeated.
Man, that’s something special.
The coaches had encouraged them to play hard, of course. They yelled out play reminders and positions throughout the game, coaching in every way possible. The other team simply had a better game than we did. And many of our kids could have left the field tonight taking that loss with them.
But instead, the last feeling they had on that field was a combination of knowing they were wanted, seen and worthy, and that their coaches were proud of them.
Simple but truly special. Serious leadership if you ask me.
Grateful for everything this season brought J, especially those last minutes on the field tonight.

Typically we would hose her whole class and their families by the pool, provide some special kind of entertainment and food for a fun day in the sun and lots of memories.
But last year, when she snuck away at her party, and said she wanted to stay in her room, we knew that she would want to celebrate differently than her brothers.
So this year, when she and one of her best friends started plotting, we were happy to oblige with a “waterpark” birthday weekend.
So fortunate to go to with a family who understands everything it takes us to go away for a night with the kids, and to watch A really enjoy every moment with a friend she’s had since her first year of school, that she trusts and just really feels safe and comfortable with.
The weekend was a ton of work, all four parents tag teaming to make sure our six kiddos navigated the super fun and super overwhelming new (and really well designed) CT location. But it was totally worth it.
All kiddos navigate friendships however works best for them, but I feel so grateful A has someone she can feel truly seen by and worthy of at such a young age.
It was a howwwwling good time! 🐺🐺🐺🐺

J has really grown this season. He’s got quite an arm, great focus, and a real respect for the game.
But sometimes he can have a hard time understanding the magic of the sport is in the moments that can feel unexpected but prepared for.
Where the hours of drills teach your body the muscle memory it needs to react quickly in the moment.
Where in a split second your brain registers what needs to happen and your feet shift automatically so you can be in the right place at the right time.
Where when those moments happen you can feel such a rush of excitement, joy and pride, that your soul feels on fire.
He’s been working hard with his Mama after school on his swing, learning what it feels like to connect with the ball, and to train his body to work in ways it’s not used to. He’s taught himself to quiet any inner judgement and disbelief, and to just focus on wanting to get a hit.
When he stepped up to the bat here, he stepped up determined to swing. Unlike the dozen other times he got up to bat this season, watching the ball pass him by - he looked fearless.
Two strikes on him from great swings and he held his head high. When he connected with the ball, he dropped that bat and told his feet to move, not stopping until@he reached the bag.
And yes, they could have gotten him out. But because he didn’t quit, he made it in one of those unexpected moments that will stick with him in what he will know moving forward to be true of this sport: it ain’t over til it’s over.
Watching him jump with joy and pride at the end celebrating with the coach felt so incredible to watch and we are just so proud.

You were everything we hoped for but so much more. You make every day better and we love you more than you could ever know. Happy Birthday baby girl. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Don’t get me wrong, I know my son is a charmer. Sneaky little buddy can get out of most tricky situations with a wink and a smile!
But as we rode the bus back after a long (and wonderful) day with his classmates, he was struggling. Exhausted from trying to keep up with the group, hungry from a different and quick lunch, and just overstimulated. He needed distraction badly.
He was surrounded by some of his favorite girls in his class, and they noticed he was watching the games they were playing to entertain themselves.
When they asked if he wanted to try (to wish he excitedly agreed to) they slowed down their pace, worked intentionally to speak clearly and slowly, and walked him through it a few times- celebrating with him each time he caught on.
Celebrating- I want to highlight- as there was nothing condescending or even judgemental about how they walked him through it.
It was so clear they cared for him and just wanted him to feel included and worthy.
I was exhausted.
I had missed a day of super important office work and was feeling stressed and behind.
Not to mention I knew I was headed home to hosting 4-5 families for a pool dinner and wasn’t feeling ready.
But goodness me- in that moment I could have wept like a baby with gratitude for these amazingly kind and caring friends he has made in his class, and for how they care for our boy when he is not with us.
It was beautiful.

Yes- you heard that right. We are raising three incredible autistic kiddos with adhd who use their iPads to regulate after a long day at school.
Now - no- this doesn’t mean they can watch or play whatever they want. We have many conversations (and monitor) about what is safe and what is not safe. We try to teach them how to make good choices on their own.
That’s why we love games like so much. Our daughter loves to create her own worlds using her wonderful imagination and creativity.
So yes- unpopular opinion but it works for us.
What works for your family?

But nearly a decade later and my response has shifted drastically to that statement.
Ya’ll… NO! Everyone is not a little autistic.
Sure… it’s a spectrum… and sure, any person can experience a “little bit” of dysregulation in a similar fashion to someone on the spectrum…
BUT!!!
An autistic individual gets a medical diagnosis of autism when they meet the criteria of the DSM5 at the level of more than their peers, for longer periods of time and with greater frequency, to a level where it disrupts their ability to function or self-regulate.
Aka- by definition - not just a “little bit”.
Just sayin…

It’s hard.
I am exhausted.
I question often and always if I will ever get it right and if I am enough to be the parent they need.
But my eyes are always on my kids, my family, my “grass” so to speak. They get all of my attention because they deserve it and are the only opinions of my worth I find worthy.
Raising kiddos can offer so many opportunities for comparison… but in raising three with extra needs I’ve learned that no one knows our story except us. So only those who are main characters get a speaking role in our story.
And I wish the same for you and yours. XO

Autistic burnout is a real neurological struggle, and one that can be incredibly taxing as a child. It can cause sincere emotional, mental and physically distress.
And every time our daughter asks to take a day off, these three things happen:
1.) she always takes a 2-3 hour nap- even approaching age 8.
2.) she wears her headphones and blocks out the world for a couple of hours.
3.) she seeks connection and solace in whichever of us as her parents are with her, often wanting to talk through something she is struggling with in school.
And by the end of that day, she is recharged and ready to go back the next day.
Might just be us, but we feel it’s important to honor her advocacy for a break, and make sure she knows we support that self-awareness and regulation strategy.

And if my math is mathing correctly- it will be my 15th ever IEP meeting… as my kids are only 10 and 7, that translates to a lot of hours annually spent preparing for each meeting, participating during, and then advocating after to ensure it is followed accordingly.
Our family is fortunate that over the years we have had some wonderful case managers- like this year- who are intentional and thorough when writing the IEPs, as well as collaborative and inclusive.
But there were years they weren’t so great, so here are my three tips of what to look for when reviewing your child’s IEP before you sign approval of anything.
1.) Comparison to Previous IEPs - particularly in what’s missing from the last one. I have always advocating for keeping in behaviors that impact their safety or others’ safety so that new teams know what could happen if they regress or are triggered, as all three of our kiddos struggle with transitions. I very rarely take something significant out completely (like L’s flight risk tendencies) because once it disappears from the paper trail it can be really difficult to get it back!
2.) Accommodations: Throughout any well-written IEP your child’s accommodations will both be sprinkled in as well as clearly outlined. These are different than goals as they aren’t measurable BUT they are crucial in your child’s ability to access what they need throughout the school year. Tailored and specific accommodations- in my opinion - can be the difference between a child surviving and thriving when they extend beyond good teaching/instruction.
3.) Goals: yes - sounds obvious - of course you need to ensure the goals are there! But what I like to look for are if the goals are consistent with what I know to be true at home; if they will challenge my kiddo; AND are realistic and reasonable. We believe every kiddo is capable of given the accommodations and opportunity to succeed. But if they aren’t even given the chance- how will you ever know?
Anyone else in IEP season? What else do you look for when preparing for your child’s IEP?
