The annual memberships to OMSI so pays off. She enjoyed the sensory room as well, but the exhibit was also fascinating to her. The problem is she is wanting more independence and is pushing her boundaries. I lost her once and know it will continue to happen. Tracking device or phone something on her might be needed soon. I just tell myself to breathe and look where I think she would have gone. Typically works...oh the Autism Brain. It is so lovely but complex and tiring. #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autism #omsi #portland #specialmoments #brain #happy #love #specialneeds #adaptability #boundries #support #sensoryplay #dinasours #dinosaur #lego #museum

The plan was 2 estate sales then Dizzy castle. She typically won`t last long at the sales and definitely is entertaining during the process. However today she did great letting Mama take a look around. The outing and continual effort to push her boundaries has helped us both. Don`t get me wrong we had some hard moments but that`s OK. Welcome to parenting...😅🤣😂

Autism and water are real thing. She has been obsessed with it since she was tiny. Underwater just brings her laughs not tears. So happy, I ran into another Autism parent and there son was having a hard emotional time at the pool. Big hugs to them. Its tough...

This girl is a clean freak like her mama. Things have to be just right. A blessing and a curse. Im not sure what got her in the wipe down mode but it was pretty cute.

Brooklyn just turned 12 a few months ago. She is only 3 inches shorter than her mama and super fast legs. The excitement she gets at the zoo is adorable, but the crowds and long ups and downs are giving this old mama a reminder that I need to get back to the gym. Self care is crucial for so many reasons.

I moved away from Ellensburg 8 years ago and miss it often. Today I got to enjoy a visit at the coffee shop just opened in the same spot as Jenikkas. Jenikkas is the often missed Coffee Shop I opened and enjoyed owning off and on with my mother. It survived from 2005 to 2023. Now, a new local has opened and redesigned it. It`s beautiful and sending lots of energy their way. They will need it. #Ellensburg #jenikkas #coffee #coffeeshopvibes #love #hometown #autismmom #specialneedsmom #happy #autism #caregiver #escape

Always happy when Justin or Ali can come visit there mom and sister. It`s not as easy for Brooklyn and I to make a road trip to visit them in Ellensburg. This summer for sure.... Enjoy your kids while they are still young. Time goes so fast.
