- Ronan 6- Ronan: Mommy!!!!?? You have to call the furnace repair man to get my blueberry back from the air vent!!! (He's been crying about dropping it down the vent for an hour by now) Me: Sweetie, trust me, you don't want that one. There are other ones, they're sitting in your bowl at the table. Not happening, you need to calm down and take a deep breath buddy. Ronan: Well!!?..Well!! *let's out gigantic fart and fans it at Amanda and I - we're both trying desperately hard not to laugh because Ronan is reaching meltdown level* Me: Buddy..What are you doing? Ronan: I'm mad!!! I'm making the room smell bad for you!!! He goes storming off into the next room and Amanda and I lose it and are laughing hysterically- at least he wasn't pinching, denting walls or throwing furniture, thank you IBI therapy. :)

- Move to an airy old limestone farmhouse like my dream house on Bleeks Rd. just outside the city and have peace and quiet, studio space, a campfire pit, cats , dogs and bunnies (for Myles!), a hammock, a gi...

- November 25: taking a break from fighting the province and hospital about my sons not being assessed for IBI therapy and feeling my blood boil in new ways I never imagined possible, picturesque snow in my backyard, good cries that release many pent up emotions, lots of coffee in the cupboard, channelling great music that makes me feel better and rise above the shit

- Watching Myles 'unlock' and seeing more and more of the amazing person I knew he always was. The last few days have been nothing short of touching and miraculous. My high functioning ASD little boy is running to me when school is over, wanting to hug me, he wants to show me everything he's creating and working on, he wants me to be a part of his world, he wants other people to be a part of his world. He's smiling at people and making eye contact, and making up funny imaginative stories using a ton of new words. It's spectacular and a gift.
- My 1st weekend alone in 5 years and an overnight leisurely trip to Montreal where I let a day unfold and I was truly free. July 18th and 31st were magical. Bonus: best Interpol shows I've ever seen (I've seen 5 total). The energy of the shows was....incredible, which still doesn't even ...
