We had our first appointment with our neurologist and a follow up appointment with our paediatrician today. Waiting times aside (hello, 4 hourssss), they both reminded us to look into Rett Syndrome<\/a> because it’s still not off the table. We won’t know the test results for months yet, so excuse me if there is more emo posts here on the blog. <\/p>\n

The dr also threw in the term ‘severe’ to describe Jovie’s Autism and I didn’t flinch. I don’t know whether that’s good or bad, but I guess when you live it, any term you use to describe a situation doesn’t matter. <\/p>\n

Jovie’s doing this new thing where screaming, out of happiness in the highest pitch known to man, is her release. It started before bed times<\/a>, and then progressed to wherever we took her – my favourite was the toy store where she did her usual ‘clearing off all counters’ (bye bye slinkies<\/a>) and then screamed<\/em> while I paid for some halloween lanterns. I’m learning really quick to find all exits and to clear a good 3 feet buffer zone around Jovie. <\/p>\n

Trying to remind Jasper to use his manners, Uncle Allan asks him ‘What’s the magic word?’. <\/p>\n

My sweet Jasper replies …. <\/p>\n

‘Abracadabra!’<\/p>\n

I’ve been getting back into painting and screenprinting lately. It’s been a welcome distraction for both Jasper and I and the smell of the paint brings me back to my high school art rooms. <\/p>\n

I never was good at painting, but some prints & things that I made the other day make me happy \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
