http://domsjourneymomsjournal.blogspot.com/2015/07/camp.html
Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Friday, July 31, 2015. So over the last 3 years, we've raved about the YMCA day camp program here in Colorado Springs. Got to admit, this year we haven't felt as warm and fuzzy that Dominic was getting good social interaction because at drop off and pickup, he has inevitably been hanging out by himself on the fringe of the group. Man is he ever focusing. 45 days an...

Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Friday, August 7, 2015. So Dominic has WANTED to trim his own fingernails for a LONG time. He's held the clippers in place and TRIED. He just simply hasn't had the pincer grip strength to operate them. Enter awesome OT team that can problem solve like nobodies business. Then They taught him how to use it. Hello Independent personal grooming! Yes, I do read them all.

Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. So after all the excitement with Dominic randomly spelling Ratatouill. E the other day, we took the advice of my fellow TMR mama and got some sight word tools. Here is Dominic with Daddy working on his sight words. They just arrived a few days ago so this is our "before" for lack of a better word. For a Before, I'm pretty pleased. A diary of...

Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Monday, July 20, 2015. I've blogged many times about the friends that I've made in the autism community and how amazing the support is. This week my BFF has been in town - who is another autism mom that I met a few years ago and we've been having a fantastic time. We went hiking yesterday with Dominic and the dogs at the park right up the street. Do The Floppy Flips.

Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Funny from this morning. Ya'll remember we've had food struggles i. N the past and at present Dominic will eat pretty much whatever is put in front of him. Because I won the food struggles. This morning, i made our usual vegetable juice (carrot, celery, cucumber, beet, apple, zucchini), scrambled eggs with bacon and i sliced up a cantaloupe.

Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal: The other drawing!!
http://domsjourneymomsjournal.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-other-drawing.html
Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Monday, July 27, 2015. This is the other drawing from Occupational Therapy last week. My OT kept it on her wall because of how far Dominic has come, and sent me a picture. The blue thing is an upside down house. The critter on the left is a dog. The critter on the right is a duck. All of these things Dominic was asked to draw, and then did so entirely unassisted.

Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. As part of Daddy's 50th birthday celebration weekend, we went to the Renaissance Festival to enjoy their last weekend of the season. HE TOLD US HIS NECK HURT. Anyway, back to the story. We went to the festival with zero agenda. We asked Dominic if he'd like a painting on his body. He said yes, picked out a dragon and gave them his a...He sa...

Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal: Occupational therapy
http://domsjourneymomsjournal.blogspot.com/2015/07/occupational-therapy.html
Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Dominic's current OT goals are primarily around strengthening his hands and working on his fine motor skills so that he can write, tie his shoes, trim his fingernails, etc. There is a hefty component of sensory activities. So they did handwriting, using blue hair gel. Because what else would you use blue hair gel for? And here's the video.

Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal: Hiking - again!
http://domsjourneymomsjournal.blogspot.com/2015/07/hiking-again.html
Dominic's Journey, Mom's Journal. Once you've gotten down and dirty in the special needs trenches you don't ever take anything lightly again. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Friday as we were driving from Camp to Therapy, Dominic pointed at Palmer Park going by on our right and said "Mountains". Mind you, just last week when my friend was here. We went hiking with Dominic and both dogs in Palmer park for the first time this year. So I asked him, "Do you want to go hiking in those mountains". And he said yes.
