the-boobear-times: Where is my village?
http://the-boobear-times.blogspot.com/2011/07/where-is-my-village.html
Saturday, July 23, 2011. Where is my village? You know how they say it takes a village to raise a child? I would have to say I agree, but I'm not sure what happened to mine. I feel so alone most of the time. There are people for me to talk to, but there is no other pair of hands to help me. Oh Brandy, I cant say I understand, but I can say that I admire your strength and your dedication to Alexa. I think its important that you continue to enjoy your creative outlet and are able to take time just for ...

the-boobear-times: What is the "talker"?
http://the-boobear-times.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-is-talker.html
Tuesday, July 19, 2011. What is the "talker"? For the benefit of Kylee and others who don't see us in person I thought I'd try and explain Alexa's talker. It is an iPod touch and it uses an app that is called Proloquo2Go http:/ www.proloquo2go.com/. I guess just because she cant talk much does not mean she does not understand! July 26, 2011 at 9:52 AM.

the-boobear-times: April 2010
http://the-boobear-times.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 23, 2010. Some of the big news: Alexa is toilet trained! We spent two weeks working on it very hard, but now she really seems to have it. She still wears pull-ups at night, and she has an accident every 2-3 days, but she wears underwear all day every day, and her accidents are always at home, which tells me they are actually within her control. I made her another pair of Unmentionables (that's the name of the pattern for these pants.). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Brandyann (my etsy shop).

the-boobear-times: March 2010
http://the-boobear-times.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 1, 2010. A few more fun February photos. Alexa is really great at riding her tricycle now. She routinely rides in a mile long circle around our neighborhood. She goes very fast sometime too. It seems like it took a year or two to get to this point, so we are really proud of her. How often have you seen a really great milk moustache? I am again trying to let her hair grow out. It is really cute in pigtails! We played at the park a bit before the long car ride home. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

the-boobear-times: January 2011
http://the-boobear-times.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. A few end of 2010 pictures. I wanted a picture of Alexa in her sock monkey skirt and legwarmers. These were made by a cool etsy shop. Owner for Alexa at my request and she loves the outfit. She's really into pockets lately, they're kind of distraction actually, when she's supposed to be doing something else she's trying to put stuff in them. We did some gingerbread house decorating with some friends, and Alexa showed Sally her new storytelling app Pictello.

the-boobear-times: November 2010
http://the-boobear-times.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 1, 2010. Alexa recycled her Curious George Costume for this Halloween. We programed "Trick or Treat" into her talker, and David took her round the neighborhood a little bit. I made a hat and wanted Alexa to model it for my Ravelry pictures, she defaults to this goofy grin when we ask her to smile. Still pretty cute. And this blurry picture (she won't hold still) which I still love because of her direct gaze. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). If you like brandyann the etsy shop, like my FB page.

the-boobear-times: A little update for Fall
http://the-boobear-times.blogspot.com/2011/11/little-update-for-fall.html
Thursday, November 3, 2011. A little update for Fall. The behavior issues are still present, but I'm doing better at dealing with them. I read a fantastic book called No Fighting, No Biting, No Screaming: How to make Behaving Positively Possible for People with Autism and Other Developmental Disabilites. Wow Take a bunch of kids who don't much like touching the insides of pumpkins, and it's a big job! Here's Alexa vacuuming, an activity that she adores beyond all explanation. We don't discourage it!

Monday, January 11, 2010. To Finish off 2009. I knitted Alexa a mommy and baby sock monkey. They will complete her family, since she has loved the now one-eyed, nearly bald daddy monkey nearly to death. She is starting to understand about presents, but never tried to open the packages before Christmas. We were at the beach in Florence again with David's side of the family for Christmas. It was sunny and gorgeous this year, and Alexa loved it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Brandyann (my etsy shop).
