Good old Mr Bunny...

He works!! And we love him, official like.

He's not of the strongest construction though, so watch out if your little monkey thinks he's a toy. The nightlight on a timer thing couldn't work with the Tinker because he doesn' like lights on in his bedroom  - must be the only kid not bothered by the dark or by the mad staring eyes of Mr Bunny.....

Flushed with success

Well, the tinkle targets worked a treat!

Smug, that's me.

Now, since I am on a roll, we're going to try to encourage Small Fry to stay in bed (and quiet) later than 5am. He's nearly 6. We're suffered enough and so have the neighbours. My current husband remarked this morning that 'eventually, this will kill us'. A little over dramatic, perhaps, but someone has to be up with him.

So:
could be the answer.....

Ready, aim, fire!

Right, that's it.

I have had it with the (and I'm sorry about this) dribbles of wee all over the loo floor.

Smells like a grimy old urinal in a park (not that I frequent such places, really I don't)

*am sure it's not just the short boy in this house either*

So, we are trying these little suckers:








Will let you know how we get on - hopefully the loo will be a much sweeter smelling place.

Underpants of resolve

Well, it's about time.


Y'all NEED to know about my life.

Well, no, you don't. But I'll tell you anyway.

This. Is. Me.

For those unintiated into the world of Ratatouille the film, that's how it starts. I know that, goodness me, do I know that for my son has watched it countless times.

Autism does that.

I could also do 'Thomas the Tank Engine' as a specialist subject on Mastermind.

Now, I'm not bellyaching about it/him/the condition. It is how it is. Autism isn't the tragedy, but misunderstanding it is. Hopefully, I can offer some insight into my boy's world. I go there a lot. It can be fun. It can be scary.

It's life in the extreme, for sure.

But don't let that put you off. I'll also be wittering about running, baking, chocolate, nice things I like and general, you know, stuff.
