Sickness take 2. A pale and wan Dorothy this morning. I had a homeschool get together planned for our house today, which I cancelled yesterday when Quine was sick. Large family domino illness experience let me know that even if Patient Zero was recovered it was a bad idea to host.

This kid is feeling better, which is great, but we got to see the most delightful but fleeting behavior – the Fever Effect. Today she said, for the first time ever, Mama, Gloria, Abby, Daddy and Faith. Another first was two words together for pragmatic use: drink milk. Bede also has fever effect when he is ill. I hope someone figures out how to get this access to the language in the autistic mind. #fevereffect #autism

Day two with atypically sluggish Quine. Today she's keeping stuff down but has a fever. So far no other family members are stricken. #fingerscrossed

"Hey Abby, do you want to wash dishes? Or snuggle with the baby and play retro video games?"

Just heard Gloria (9) explaining what a newspaper was to Dorothy (5). "It's a bunch of papers that have what happened the day before written down on them." Up next, tape decks and buggy whips.

Stayed home from Mass with this wan little girl who wouldn't wake up this morning and wanted to cling. Mama instinct was right – she threw up. Poor boo.

These #chiagooneedles are the bomb! Better than Addi Turbo. I'm usually a wood or bamboo fan but these are both comfortable and like lightning. I'm in love. #knitting

it begins

This is the third week I’ve planned meals and I’m so happy we started doing that. No one asks me what’s for dinner now, they just go look. It’s the best ever. Being asked and telling eight people every day, sometimes then being met with sighs or discouraging words, really takes it out of you. No more of that. Now it’s written down and there it is for the week, like it or don’t and you can eat it or make a peanut butter sandwich or whatever. THE END.
Perry’s first birthday is almost here! We got him a board book about relativity, a stuffed bunny, and a blue toy car. He will like these things very much. He is ridiculously appealing. I hope he uses these cute powers for good, because we are smitten.
Clementine has figured out how to scale the baby gate and go upstairs. So now that means someone has to go upstairs with her because it’s full of all the things we didn’t want her to get into, you see. Nothing unsafe, just she could make A Big Mess. So that means, instead of the things I kinda had planned to do, I’ll be chasing her until the upstairs is Quine-proofed. Gonna be a busy week.

Perry is delighted by Faith's ocarina. #doctorwho #messyhouse #cutekids
