Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Di, I already wrote you about the friendships that has been able to make over the years but after reading another e-mail from you, I wanted to say a few things. You are right about needing to get away from the special needs issues and just plain talk to an adult whether that is about our kids or not. Don't feel bad about that. We spend a lot of time researching, planning and doing the best for our children. And WE need a break, too. Over the years I have seen many parents of kids with SN who didn't know how to take that break (and I am guilty of it, too). I believe some of us are too hard on ourselves. We get apprehensive about how others will handle US and our kids. You need to meet other parents. Get involved with the PTA and help at school -- that helps to set the stage for a relationship to develop. Nic is so young and you will find many opportunities to get to know some other kids and parents. I initially started offering to watch someone else child while they did something so our kids could be together. Also at 4yo, you could always call and ask for a playdate for Nic. I am much more relaxed now about the social environment for but when she was younger I worried so much. I wanted her to have friends! I wanted her to know the joy of being invited some place and of having sleepovers, etc. It did happen but I carried the load not my husband (who isn't real sociable himself!). It will get better, honest! Good luck. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Oh Pam, how great!!! You made sure the girls had the best day!!! Your grandmother sounds charming, what a woman!! You all have great fun together and know we are thinkin of you all, Dawn ( I am impressed with the blowing out of the candles!! And just the fact that tried is super!) Birthday Party Well, we had the birthday party for the twins today. There were alot of family and friends here. It was BIG DAY!!! I made a cake for each of the girls. For the first time Hannah actually blew out all her candles. tired and tired to blow out all of hers but she just couldn't do it. But she sure did have a big time trying!!! She LOVES singing Happy Birthday and eating cake cake cake. As a matter of fact I think she had too much cake and ice cream. About 2 hours later I went into their bedroom to check on them and She had pooped all over herself. She had it all over Hannah's bed and was laying on her bed with it all over her too. Needless to say I had to put her in the bath tub and clean up the bedroom. I don't think the cake and ice cream agreed him Hannah either because she too had some diarreah and of course she didn't make it to the bathroom in time. The twins did enjoy their birthday even if I didn't. OH! And the best part of the day was My Grandmother came here for a visit. She lives in Conway Arkansas and comes to stay every year for a month. My son and my neice's husband drove down today to get her. They arrived about 6 pm. I was so happy to see her and am looking forward to her staying with me. She is 90 years old and still drives and goes dancing every Friday night at the senior citizen center. She is amazing!!!! I love her so much! Anway this is todays events. All and all it has been a good day. Pam mom to Josh 21, Dusty 15, Hannah (DS) and (DS-ASD) 7 --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 > > Soooooo I think I did well! > > For your friens to ask for your lower calorie crab recipe, I would think so. I'll have to post it to the files when I get a chance, but it is so easy. You take Wontons wrappers and " butter " once side of them. I used I can't belive it's not butter light, but I bet you could use Pam butter spray, In the mean time you take 8oz softened cream cheese (I used low fat) 6oz can crab meat garlic powder 2 green onions chopped (just the white part) soy sauce worchestershire sauce Spray a mini muffin pan (it's kind of a pampered chef recipe revamped so I used the pampered chef mini muffin pan I have, but I'm sure just about any one would work) and put the wrappers in there so the corners are sticking up (kind of like a little cup) and bake em in the oven for 8 mins @ 350 take them out and then spoon about 1 tsp (maybe a bit more) of the mix in to the wrappers and then put them back in the oven for 5 mins. That's all there is to it. The wonton wrappers are much crisper since they are baked and not fried, but still good. I will get all the exact measurments later and post it to the files. > > And *certainly* for you to handle it all so well within your food plan! And > you even had your cake! You are such a strong woman!! I dunno if strong is the right word... LOL. It was much cheaper for me to actually make the crab rangoons and frozen egg rolls then it was to buy the ones from the resturant. It really helped to see the actual calroies from the resturant and then what it would be if I made it. SO between the 2, cost and calories it was much easier just to make my own. > > > > (who is searching for Salsa recipes) > > http://cgi.fatfree.com/cgi-bin/fatfree/recipes.cgi?salsa > > Use a pop-up blocker if you have it, because this site has plenty of them > (recipes AND pop-ups)! Thanks.. I did stop in there just to see what they have. It looks like most of them are fresh salsa recipes. I did a google searh yesterday and found a few, but not that were at all similar to what I had. We knew the ingredients, but not the amounts. I did however find a homesteading site that has alot of canning stuff on it and other things that pertain to what I would call " true country living " and found it pretty interesting. It has given me a few more ideas (like I didn't have enough already) hopefully they'll help save some money around here! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 At least his birthday is in a warm month so you could have it outside. I once did a pirate theme for my son's birthday and the kids just loved it. I made a cake to look like a treasure chest (two 13x9 inch cakes stacked on top of each other with frosting in the middle and on the outside, then I propped a tinfoil covered piece of cardboard on the top to resemble the lid and then covered the top with candy necklaces and bracelets, candy coins and different candies), then I bought different colored bandanas and toy eye patches for the kids to dress up in. We played a treasure hunt game with candy. It was inexpensive, which was up my alley. Hope it works out well for you. Let us know what you decided to do and how it went. ( I used toothpicks to prop the tin lid on the cake.) Have fun and happy birthday to your son!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hi Narelle, I’m not sure what facilities are available to you in Australia, I’m in rural Scotland! We were able to hire the local community centre for very little money. It included a bouncy castle and soft play toys in a large hall with a table set out for eating off of and a cd player and amplifier for music. We just brought our own food – sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls, little sausages, savoury bits and pieces, fruit and juice. Also had cake and icecream (though the icecream melted a lot). Disposable plates, lots of napkins and babywipes. The children take about ¼ hour to get sorted out and arrive, they run around for about half an hour getting high, we then played pass the parcel to calm them down a bit, ate for half an hour, ran around for a bit then were collected. Total party time around 1 ½ hours. Some parents stayed with their children (tended to be those with children who were on the spectrum). I didn’t really organize anything and they all seemed to be happy enough with what was provided! We’ve had swimming parties at the local pool, but it was easier to keep them dry <G>. Hope that gives you some inspiration – or reassurance that you don’t need to provide something spectactular.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Oh my I could have written this post! My son is turning 6 August 19 and thinks he needs to invite his whole class cause that's what everyone else does. Well after much thought I decided that we will have it at an art center that does 1 or two crafts and then cake and ice cream. It's structured and run by staff. I did this for my 3 year old in March. We have a pool and wanted a pool party with all the kids ... not happening. I know it will be too much for him to have that much chaos. He's psyched about two parties ... a family pool party and a class party at the art center ... Good luck ... you know your child best. I've had a couple of distastrous parties that had too many kids running in all directions. It puts my son into a meltdown and we had to step outside more than once. I know other mother's think I'm over protective but I hate to see over stimulated and that's just what happens with too much going on and chaos.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi, We have invited my son's whole class twice for his birthday party. I response has been less than desirable. A lot of parents just never respond at all. In first grade I invited the class to go the Ecostation, a spot that is very popular. Only his close friends responded at all. I ended up including his baseball team and his boy scout troop to make a good showing for him. Again, this year, I invited the whole class to a party at our house. Most never responded in anyway. So I invited the boys scouts again and between everyone we had a good showing for him. Not to be negative, just to prepare you for the possible response from the class. My son is fully-included. And has odd behaviors at times. However, shares the same interest as most of the boys, in his class. Good luck on your party and happy birthday to your son. >From: " Narelle Crowe " <ncrowe@...> >Reply-Autism and Aspergers Treatment ><Autism and Aspergers Treatment > >Subject: Birthday party >Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2005 17:39:11 +1000 > >Hi everyone, > >I have a little bit of a dilemma it is my ds (ASD) 6th birthday next month, >he wants a party & wants to invite his whole class of 20, he wants it at >home.
