Pet Worm … R.I.P.

We had a great day playing with the water hose and the mud yesterday.  Caroline pulled out a huge earth worm and Daddy thought this might be a great teachable moment where she could interact with one of God’s creatures.
I was able to get about 5 seconds of this life lesson in, “oh, you have […]

Placer County Board of Education and the Autism Yearbook Ommission Stink …

Kim Stagliano’s Tear Jerker for Autism Dads …

 
Yes, I am a few days behind on this one, but it’s great to see Autism Dads getting some recognition of late.  I love Jenny McCarthy, but it always irks me, as a dad, when she talks about “moms” only.
