Plate Licking, Do you Do It?

May 21, 2012 By Marilyn Arriaga Leave a Comment

Jehzel does this with just about every plate of food you give him.

I caught him again licking plates after he is done eating. I tell him not to eat the plate then he says he can’t even do that becuase it is not food, and calls me silly….

Yet he is the one who licks plates clean.

One Hundred Day Celebration

May 21, 2012 By Marilyn Arriaga Leave a Comment

Jehzel had fun on his 100 day celebration at his school with his friends. He was so excited, I think more for the candy. He had lots of funny stories to share for the party and what they did.

He loves to get his picture done, that will only be until he is older, just like his brothers. He also loves to tell stories and it is always fun to hear and watch them too. He is very animated and makes all his own sound effects too.

Alfredo Finds

May 20, 2012 By Marilyn Arriaga Leave a Comment

Alfredo still goes out everyday to find the wildlife. he enjoys seeing new this, learning about them, even catching them to look at them closer.

We have been living in FLorida for two years now and Alfredo finds new things just about everyday, and he hardly ever leaves the property lol.

He found whatever this is, maybe a spider of some sort. It is creepy looking has spikey things all on its back. I am not sure if it is poisones.

Alfredo keeps what he catches for one to two days before letting them back where he found it. He studies them, watches them, researches them online and so it is a great self teaching time for him.

Win a Step 2 Kiddie Shaded Pool!

May 17, 2012 By Marilyn Arriaga Leave a Comment

I love this thing. I can allow Jehzel to play safely with water, yes he is 4 but he is a high risk seeker which is part of the sensory processing disorder he just can’t help. He loves water, and it is the only thing that I can use with him daily, multiple times a day to relax and calm him down, besides food which the pool is the better option than over eating. Good luck winning, I am entering too.
