A wonderful, painful, exciting, and scary Christmas...

Wow, what a Christmas! This entry is a day late because I couldn't type yesterday. While the morning was wonderfully magical, my afternoon was spent in the ER with mom. Safi got to stay home and play with dad, and I got to take one of my xmas toys with me...but it was a DRAG! See, I'm a prolific thumb sucker. Yeah, lots of kids do it...but I do it A LOT and vigorously. See, I know I look all bubbly and carefree on the outside but I'm actually very anxious and scared most of the time. As a matter of fact, I tell mom that I'm scared at least hourly most days. So, my thumb sucking is serious business, and constant, because it helps me regulate and feel better. Like all things, anything in moderation is ok...in excess, not so good. I ended up getting a massive infection in my thumb and the tissue down to my wrist called cellulitis. In the beginning if the week mom noticed a bump on my thumb but it looked like a callous. By Saturday it was a little red, but it looked like it was red from my teeth. By xmas morning it was broken and really red. By 10am in ulcerated and half of my hand turned red, purple, and blue. ER was no fun but I got antibiotics and today its looking a little better. Despite the pain, I really enjoyed my xmas...as you see in the awesome xmas video montage!

A little side note about how some kids with autism and/or sensory processing disorder experience of pain. It is theorized that kids like me and Safi are sort of constantly in pain to one extent or another. Whether it be pain from our pant legs rubbing against our ankles, seams in socks, loud noises, fluorescent lights...we're just really sensitive. Experiencing all of the many environmental assaults we're faced with daily is really too much to handle. So, we habituate to the sensation of pain or discomfort. The result is that it really takes a heck of an injury or pain to get us to take notice or complain. A blessing and a curse.

Ok, so the rest of the week was actually really good. We were cool with there being no school or programming. Heather still came and she even brought her niece, our Friend Liz, one day. We did some shopping, we bought gifts for daddy, and we did a lot of xmas crafts. A good week.

Wanting to send a special thank you to everyone for our amazing gifts and mula! Some highlights, not at all inclusive, but some of our FAV's: Aunt Becky made us all shawls (check out the pic!), Uncle Randy and Aunt Kathy sent us toys from their trip to Germany, Nana Cummings got us singing Chipmunks, Uncle Seth and Aunt Cory sent us a Barbie RV, Grandpa and Grandma Seifert sent us $$$, and so did Grandpa Cummings, Weishi, and Cate! We plan to use our mula for some Big Lots excursions, and to save for a rainy day! THANK YOU ALL! We love you very much and truly appreciate how very much you love us!

So, I'm off...a little disjointed, this post...I'm on a lot of med's, give me a break! Off to pass out and heal!

Peace out....see you NEXT YEAR!!!

The family that games together....is very quiet. Merry Christmas to mommy!

A kiss for Winny so he can go night night....



Really exciting week. Nixi had a Christmas party in her class and she got to decorate cookies. I got to eat some goodies with mom in the family room, too! We had some great days with Heather, and I had my school Christmas party! Lot's of fun stuff to report.

Nix and I are both sick. I'm getting over bronchitis and Nixi has an upper respiratory infection...so I'm just going to give the highlights.

Nix did really well at school both days. She still struggles afterwards, but she did pretty well during class. She told mom on one day and dad on another that she loved them, totally unsolicited, for the first time ever!! Very cool.

I did a great job at school all week and did an amazing job at the doctor's. Mom and Nixi got to come to my school party with me and that was amazing. I tried to help Nixi keep up with the class by whispering tips to her on what to do. All in all, being a very good big sister.

This weekend we got more Santa surprises. We got doctor kits, angry bird stuffed toys, and Nabi tablets! Check out their link: http://www.nabitablet.com/ They are just the coolest tablets EVER! We love them and we're really good at them. So far, Nixi's favorite apps are the "read to me" books and angry birds and mine are angry birds and the camera/video function. So much fun! Really awesome weekend. We also got to go to Big Lots to spend our Christmas money from great grandma and grandpa Cummings! We both picked appropriately priced bath toys...Mickey Mouse and Dora...and paid by ourselves! To our delight, they were on SALE! We got our change and have money left over for a treat from the 99cent store the next time we go. Thanks great grandma and grandpa Cummings!

We'll be off the grid with school and programming for the next 3 weeks. Heather will still come, and mom has some cool things planned...but 3 weeks is a loooong time.

Make sure to check in next week to see if Santa, himself, came to our house! We want to wish everyone the merriest, bestest Christmas ever!

My school xmas party.....


Nabi mania!!!

GREAT week! Started a little rocky, but ended super fantastic, extra special, glorious and stupendous!

The blip happened at my school Monday morning. Safi and I were in great spirits starting the morning. We found Oker the elf, did the stroller bike, and got ready in a semi-organized fashion. Class was good. The occupational therapist, teacher Jo, was there to hang out with me. Everything was going swimmingly until the end of snack time. I said I wanted more snack and instead of putting a limit on it, I was given another portion of snacks. The other kids had moved on to bubbles (my favorite part of class), and then to the goodbye song. I was still eating while bubbles happened so when I was finished teacher Jo let me blow bubbles as the kids sang the goodbye song. When I was done with bubbles they told me to sit and wait for mom. Uh, NO!! That's not how it supposed to go. I need to do ALL parts of class or I can't move on. Its not like they could call the kids back and ask them to sing again, so that was a bell that couldn't be un-rung. I started screaming and hitting my head. The class teacher told mom I was doing fine all class but didn't want class to end. Uh, NO #2! It had nothing to do with class ending, it was that I didn't get to complete the class routine. So, I had a hard time out at the car. I wanted to go back in and finish class the way it needed to be finished. Mom was able to get me in the car but I was messed up for the rest of the day. I was being ultra controlling and trying to re-establish order to make myself feel better. Unfortunate for mom, Safi, and dad 'cuz I was a bit of a tyrant. Mom called teacher Jo and asked her what happened and how could we make sure it didn't happen again. Teacher Jo agreed that it went horribly wrong, horribly quickly and said she'd touch bases with all the teachers from class to make sure everyone was on the same page when it came to helping me cope with boundaries and limits (i.e. I shouldn't have been allowed to have an endless snack time), and respecting my need to complete routines. Tuesday morning when we pulled up to the building I told mom that I was sad and when she asked why I said because I was scared. I was nervous that class would go the same way as the day before but I got my nerve up, went, and had fun! So there!

Safi had some great days at school. She was VERY relieved to find that, indeed, her class was starting to celebrate and decorate for Christmas. It was like mom thought, once school caught up to home in terms of transitioning to December/the holidays Safi was on cloud nine. She had a really great week. So great that on Thursday morning she told us and Heather that we were going to the grocery store! Yes, the same store that one week to the day Safi had her arguably worst meltdown EVER. I was anxious to go, because if you recall..I took a bit of a beating in the fray of things. Mom told us both that it was ok, we'd be fine, and we needed to go to get donuts. We went, we got donuts, we got a little anxious when it was time to check out and get ready for our treat from the quarter machine....but, WE DID IT! No tears, no screaming...just a little anxiety. WE ALL RULE!!!!

The weekend...well, dreamy. Santa left us surprises both Saturday and Sunday. We got remote control puppies, polar bear and lion cubs that blink and do stuff, and a whole new set up for band Seifert. We got a new keyboard, digital drums, a microphone, and a DJ turn table for mixing and scratching...'cuz Safi loves that! My favorite of all our stuff is the remote control puppy...Safi's favorite changes daily. Today her favorite is the keyboard! Oh, and our diaper room got a magical makeover. Mom made a reading nook for us, complete with bean bag chairs. She also hung butterflies and stars from the ceiling and even put 3d clouds up there. So cool. Diaper room no more....butterfly room, hello!

So, for the most part a really great week. We needed one, and we got it! Hope you all had a great week! Sending a BIG birthday shout-out to Nana Cummings. We wish you a magical birthday filled with fairy dust, lots of glitter, tons of gifts, and a boat load of cup cakes! We love you very much!

Peace

Ok, so we had a pretty hectic week with back to school and such. Both Nix and I had some great days at school. Nixi tried going to school without her weighted vest and she did ok, but was really wired. Afterwards she was really easily agitated and tearful. I had a dicey day on Tuesday because there as a fire drill we weren't prepared for. It took me about 15 minutes to get "ok", but I did and then I thought the drill was really funny. There's the brief overview of school.

Now, the more in depth report on my worst meltdown to date. Mom's been expanding our repertoire of stores lately and we've added a supermarket back into the rotation. We decided to go shopping Thursday after school. In hindsight, everything is 20/20...or 30/30 for me 'cuz that's my vision! But I digress. In hindsight, I was struggling all week because we put up some Christmas stuff at home but not at school. I use school and the "all done" format there as my calendar, so while I love all our Christmas stuff at home...it was confusing to me. Also, stores during the holidays are really overstimulating and confusing for lots of kids with autism. We typically know where everything in a room is, etc. and holiday displays and items just aren't "supposed" to be there. Back to Thursday. Mom, Nix, and I went to the supermarket and it was going great. We get to push the cart and load it with lots of stuff. At the end of most outings we get a small treat as a reward for doing awesome. The last time we went to this supermarket we got to pick a treat before we checked out. This time mom thought it would be fun for us to get a treat after checking out from the quarter machines by the exit door. That made me anxious. We picked which machine we wanted and got to it. I really wanted Nixi to pick something different than she did and that, on top of everything else started the meltdown machine in motion. Within seconds I was on the ground screaming at the top of my lungs. Some lady leaving the store told me Santa wasn't going to come to my house, luckily I didn't hear her and mom told her how deeply offensive her comment was. Mom tried to help me self-talk my way through the situation but I was too far gone. She ended up having to carry me out of the store. I was banging my head against her, the shopping cart...and eventually, in a moment when mom had her back turned, even Nixi's head. Mom had to grab her out of the car and shut me in so she could tend to Nix. Mom was able to get Nix in her seat but when she tried to get me in mine I kick her, head butted her, pulled her hair...I really hurt her. She wasn't able to get me all the way buckled in to my 5 point harness but got me secured enough that I wouldn't be able to hurt anyone on the 2 minute drive home. People were staring and gathering to talk about what was going on and mom was afraid they'd call the police. (Sidenote: there have been a number of kids with autism that have been temporarily taken into protective custody while police sort things out because people witnessing a meltdown thought the parents were abusing the child. Imagine how much worse the situation could have become if Nix and I were taken by strangers, even for an hour..let alone a night, as is customary.) It was really bad. Probably about as bad as my worst point when I was in 2's...only I'm bigger, stronger, and I went after Nix. It was scary for everyone.

The next day we all recouped and even sang Christmas caroles at the top of our lungs throughout the town from our stroller bike. Mom took us to Lowe's for a quick outing just to make us all "get back on the horse", we did great and we ended it with chicken mcnuggets and a movie before nap.

That night we got to meet our very own elf and adopt him. I named him Oker (pronounced Ah-ker). He's our direct line to the big man in the north! Check out his website:
http://elfontheshelf.com/
He brought us a letter from Santa himself saying that every Saturday and Sunday in the month of December we'll be getting a Santa surprise. That will help us to not get overwhelmed by all the Christmas gifts and goodies. So, we get a week to love up our new stuff and adjust before we get more new stuff...so awesome! So far we got dollies (my fav), snow globes (Nix's fav), xylophones, and a couple other cool little trinkets. The Seifert's Christmukkah has officially begun!

We hit Bravo Farms on Saturday and had a great time...as you can see from the pictures!

So, that's the long and short of the week. I'm tired and I wanna hit the hay...so I'm outta here.

Turkey Day...........


Sugarplumb Fairy....

You know your kid has autism when they use the Christmas tree as another opportunity to line things up.....! :)




A week off...and it was good! We did great with the break from school/services. Yeah, there we had our moments...but nothing related to being on break. Super cool!

We did some art projects, went to the park with Heather and her niece Liz, hit Lowe's, and even went to Big Lot's and spent Thanksgiving money that grandpa and grandma Seifert and our Omi sent us! We celebrated Thanksgiving, dad was home for 4 days straight, and we ended the week with putting up our new Christmas tree! Such a neat week.

Ok, so the park and hanging out with Liz was AWESOME! We met her first when she started coming to our summer school to help out. She's almost 9 and she's the coolest big kid EVER! When we were at the park she played lots of games with me and tried her darnedest to help Safi conquer her fear of the pitfall slide. She took me down it bunch of times and each time Safi got less and less upset...mom calls it habituation...whatever that is. Then it came time for us to leave and Safi asked to go down the slide, just like she had last time. She got up there and started to freak out...just like last time. Liz just sat next to her and offered silent support. Well, I decided that I needed to replay the last time we went to the park and freaked out getting into the car. We left Safi up there to work it out on her own. While everyone was focused on my meltdown, nobody noticed that Safi had quietly gotten off the play structure by herself and come to the car. She was so proud of herself...I was a screaming mess. So, a tremendous success for Safi...now we have to work on getting me out of my loop. I do that, I get into loops where I have to do things the same way every time...even if it means melting down.

Thanksgiving was ok...I love turkey. Safi had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We both had our moments of freaking out but all in all an ok day.

We went to Bog Lot's with our money, save for the dollar we each took to the bank...check out the video. It was cool...lots of stuff, also lots of people. Turns out I kinda get freaked out by new stores now. I was doing pretty well until I realized where I was then I started screaming and wanting to imitate what people around me where doing. We got outta dodge fast...but not before buying out treats with our money. We gave it to the cashier ourselves and everything. Even got some change! So cool.

The icing on the cake...putting up our Christmas tree. You know how we feel about Christmas...L-O-V-E!!!!

So, great week...now back to the grind!

Peace
Nixi

When mom asked Safi what she was going to do with her Turkey Day money she said, "I takin' it to the bank" without skipping a beat...mom wasn't able to get that on video but she was able to bait us into a half-hearted replay on our way there!


We made up this tree decorating song as we decorated...what can we say, Christmas moves us!

Hat season is upon us.....Woohoo!

It was a long week, not a bad week, but it seemed to drag on forever! Was an even longer weekend and we're all a little drained.

Nixi had school on Monday and Tuesday, culminating in a pre-Thanksgiving feast! Mom and the other grown-ups did a potluck thing, so I got to eat a cookie! Nixi's teachers set up a holiday table with fake candles and everything. They had cheese and crackers, apples slices, and pumpkin pie. Nix wasn't into anything but the crackers...asking for seconds and thirds! She did pretty good in class both days (Heather was there), but the fallout later at home was pretty epic.

I had a short week and I'm off until the 28th. Bummer!! We made cool turkey hats, though...and I used the school toilet at least once each day. Teacher Mel asked us all what we were thankful for and I said, "mommy kisses and daddy hugs." Mom had my first parent-teacher conference and Teacher Mel had nothing but great things to say. I'm meeting all of my goals from my IEP (individualized education plan). Pretty exciting.

I think Nixi told you about our weird visit with the OT last week. So, mom cancelled her for awhile, asking that she check in on Nixi when she's in class instead of coming to the house. Mom's instincts were dead on for this one...when Thursday rolled around and teacher Lorene showed up both Nixi and I said "No teacher Jo today, all done teacher Jo." Mom hadn't mentioned anything to us about not seeing her at the house for awhile, nor had she talked about it to anyone else in front of us. So, that was just our way of saying that we weren't wanting a home visit.

We hit Lowe's a few times during the week...as well as the park. Turned out I didn't get sick, but Nixi got a nasty cold. So, we hung out around the house until she didn't have a fever again. Saturday we had a pretty hairy day, from start to finish.

In the morning dad took us to get fancy donuts from the donut shop. We left a little late and when we got there it was crowded. I kinda lost it and started hitting Nix and screaming...of course, she started screaming and we were off and running for the rest of the day. We went to the park, it was fun at first. Some older kids were helping the little kids play hide and seek. The big girl, in particular, was carrying Nixi around and hiding her and I wanted her to do it with me too. So, I started getting a little screechy and upset with Nixi. Mom helped facilitate play between us all and it was ok. I rode my trike and Nixi road her scoot and zoom around. Then I went to swing before we left, and the park quickly filled up...I mean really packed. I thought I saw Nixi on a particular slide that I really want to go down, but am afraid to go down and I flipped. I asked to go on the slide, mom said ok. I got up there and began to scream that I was scared...I mean really scream. Everyone stopped and stared and the other kids were scared. Mom had to climb up there and get me. Nixi freaked out because dad was holding her and carried her to the car...she needs to walk. Basically, we both totally lost it. We had to be forcibly put in our car seats, and I ended up giving mom a pretty intense pounding. It was awful. Mom says we're going back to the park Monday and either a)conquering the slide or b) at least going to leave on our own two feet!

So, that was the week....this coming week will be interesting between rainy weather and no school for us both. I guess Thursday is Thanksgiving...boy am I gonna miffed if the day doesn't end with me snuggled up next to a fluffy, feathery turkey!!!

Someone left this supportive sticky note on mom's rear windshield when she was out shopping...


I apologize in advance...this blog entry is gonna be a short one. We're getting sick...AGAIN! Safi woke up with a fever Sunday morning and I started to get one later in the day. Good grief! We plan on getting flu shots at some point, but seems we keep getting random viruses.

Either way, mom has a bunch of crafts for us to do, 'cuz Safi's gonna be super bummed about missing school. Should be fun!

I had an ok couple of days at school. Teacher Shannon was back and Lorene and others were there to give me support. I did some fun art projects and got to eat cheerios! Good enough for me!

Safi had some great days at school...even getting to call home and tell mom when she went on the school potty 3 times!! So cool!

We had a weird home visit with my OT, teacher Jo and Lorene. Turns out teacher Jo is afraid of dogs due to a past experience. In the year she's been coming here she hasn't said a word, but she kind a freaked on Thurs. Winny licked her ear and she said she couldn't do this anymore and wouldn't come out to the house again if he wasn't kenneled. Mom, of course, put Winny in the kennel immediately...but also reminded teacher Jo that had she EVER said previously that she wasn't comfortable with him milling around she would have always had him in there. Weird. Mom's wondering is maybe she wasn't annoyed with something else. Specifically, she kinda seems bugged by Safi's presence during our sessions sometimes. Mom's gonna address this with her next week. Teacher Lorene also made some comments that she thought I was leery of Safi. Mom couldn't take it and kind of unloaded on her. See, mom and dad are frustrated because the early intervention folks still don't seem to know Nixi. Of course this is due to the time constraints placed on them by the way the services are set up. Never the less, it still doesn't help us any if they don't know me...and they don't. I could go on about it, but we're just all drained. So, look forward to future rants! :)

This week should be interesting, sickies and all. Check back in next week to see how we all pulled through it!

Peace
Nixi

Sisterly love!!! I just think its hysterical when Safi blinks!

Let the good time flow..............

Ok, its just too exciting to save for last....so I'm gonna go backwards this week. I USED THE TOILET!!!! Sunday morning mom outfitted our toilet with this cool attachable seat me and Nixi's size. So rad. She downloaded some potty time apps on the iphone, got a cool book, and we were off to the races! The whole deal started off pretty dicey. We were intrigued, but anxious because it was a big a change to the bathroom. Also, the potty seat was really wobbly and just didn't feel very secure. So, both Nix and I had a few bouts of screaming and such...but after we chilled out at nap time, and mom went our and got a different and better potty seat it was on like donkey kong! Turns out Nixi really can't pull her pants down on her own and she's having a hard time getting on the potty and feeling secure. She likes to get up there, hang out in a very tense manner for a second, then say "I did it" and hop right off. I, however, am determined to pee in the toilet. In my quest to go pee, I went poop....three separate times!! And I was totally cool with it! Didn't bother me one bit, only I really want to pee. Oh well. Mom has this cool thing, if we go to the toilet and do something we get to pick a color of food dye which is then dropped into the toilet when we flush so we get to make cool colors in the water! So much better than a sticker!! Ok, stickers rule....but we really like this, too. Its unique and special and we only get to do it in the toilet! So, we're heading towards a really cool milestone....potty learning! WooHooo!

It got pretty cold this week, and we even had some rain. Mom, Heather, Nixi and me went to Lowe's to check out the Christmas decorations...AWESOME...and to get a big box. Why a box? Rainy day playhouse! We made a super awesome house...I even figured out how to make it a mobile home! We colored on it with markers and decorated it with stickers and it was just so much fun!

I had a great week at school. I was bummed that I didn't have school Monday...but Halloween made up for that! Halloween was great! We had a mini pumpkin treasure hunt (think Easter egg hunt, but with little plastic pumpkins with goodies inside)played Monster Mash musical chairs, ghost bean bag "no hands", and we went trick or treating for the very first time! It was so coooool! We went to two houses, our next door neighbors...then we politely asked to go home. We had a really great Halloween.

Nixi had a rough two days at school. Heather was sick, and so was the normal teacher for her class...so two MAJOR changes in the normal routine. Nixi didn't handle it very well. By the middle of class on Monday mom had to go into the class because Nixi was in a full blown meltdown. She asked that they call Nixi's home visit teacher Lorene to come and offer Nixi some support and she was able to pull it back together for the rest of class. On Tuesday Nix barely made it through the front gate to the classroom before looking around and seeing her teacher was still absent and dropping to the floor screaming, kicking, etc. Her OT, teacher Jo came the rescue and her and Lorene helped her get through class. She got to make a really cool picture of an owl, complete with real feathers! Pretty neat. Hopefully this week is easier for her. Heather wont be there Monday, but she'll be there Tues. We shall see.

So, for the most part, that was our week. Some awesome greats, and some sad lows...but we're all still here! So, take a peek next week to see if we remain! :)

Check out our rainy day play house/mobile home!


Lowe's fun day............

Sickies, sickies...a house of sickies. The week was all about being sick! Safi was sick, as you'll recall...then I got it. Boy howdy, did I get it. Safi didn't get a runny nose but I was an ooey mess.

We got to go to the doctor, and dad got to go with us. It was a really big deal because he hasn't been to the doctor with us since we've been doing so amazing there. Last time dad went we both had nuclears and had to be restrained, carried out, etc. He was so proud to see us walk in with a smile, hop on the scale, get measured, and do everything our doctor needed us to do...no screaming, a few tears from me, but pretty great. Safi got some antibiotics for a possible ear infection and we both got stickers and lollipops again! We LOVE the doctor.

I missed school on both days and Safi missed two days, too. She was super bummed because she loves school so much, but she handled the disappointment pretty well and was able to get some much needed rest.

Nana Cummings came up mid week and got stuck with two crabby grandkids. She didn't seem to mind, even though we were pretty rough on her. Heather came the second day she was here and facilitated some play with us all and that was cool. Each day got a hair better than the one before and by the time we were feeling better about the whole thing, she had to go. We just have a really hard time with changes and company in our house, no matter how much we love the company, is a huge change. So, we get a little more withdrawn, a little more rigid, a little more controlling, and little more anxious. Safi did get to have a great time showing Nana what she can do on mom's iphone and I got to play hide and seek behind the slide on our swing set with her...that was really fun. We also got to take her to Burger King! She brought us some neat goodies...Safi is in love with a Toy Story 2 book Nana brought, so much so she's been sleeping with it! So, in general an ok visit...I'm just in a funky place right now, have been for some weeks now and we all know that puts Safi in a funky space too...so, the visit went as well as it was gonna..sick or not.

Nana also got to go with us to Safi's school Halloween carnival on Friday. Oy vey! What a mess! Great idea in theory, but without any degree of structure it just wasn't very fun at all. I had the most fun in the beginning when all the kids left the classroom to hit the carnival and I stayed inside by myself (with Nana close by) and got to play with all of the stuff I've always wanted to play with! I also liked getting funky with the musical chairs! It was just too loud, too chaotic, too much. Safi seemed to enjoy the beginning. Remember how mom asked last week if the kids could have a little structure? Well, it did happen. Mom had to just yell, "Line up"...and the aid, teacher Joanne, helped get everyone semi organized. Teacher Mel didn't coordinate with any of the other teachers so when the costume parade started she just began plugging her kids into the the line as it went by...so they weren't all together. Mom saw Safi and a couple of other kids panic and asked Joanne to hold their hands...which she was delighted to do. It was just nuts and it ended with us both in tears. I will say this much, we LOVED showing off our costumes and we got lollipops...and you know how we feel about lollipops. So, chalking that up to another life experience.

Mom went to my transition planning meeting and went fine. Her and dad will be touring Maple Special Services Preschool for me next year, because I'm just not gonna do with at Lincoln with the lack of structure. Other than that, nothing too exciting. I'll get to go to a speech group one day a week before I go to actual class...that's kind of cool.

We're super pumped for Halloween. Can't wait to wear our costumes all day and mom has some funthings planned for us. Should be spooktacular! :)

So, that was the week in a disjointed nutshell!

Peace
Nixi

Halloween carnival.......note me feeling the groove with the musical chairs!


Nothing like a quiet Sunday morning...playing with pots!
