Spring has come to Sacramento which means the air conditioner is turned on again. Whee!<\/p>\n
<\/a>— 1 —<\/strong><\/p>\n Is there anything better than eating Cheerios and watching Winnie the Pooh with a cute little boy on your lap?<\/strong> I think not!<\/p>\n (The little boy fell asleep shortly after this picture was taken. He loves to nap on someone’s lap.)<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/strong><\/p>\n Daniel is fully adjusted to preschool.<\/strong> We had an hour of tears on Monday, maybe a minute of them on Tuesday, and smooth-sailing the last two days. He likes his teacher and aides and they are positively smitten with him. I’m so thankful that the local public school campus where they house the state preschool classes is only a block away and that the teacher for the autism class does it because she loves the kids. Next Friday, he gets to go to the local zoo with his class and I’m excited for him to experience his first field trip.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/strong><\/p>\n There are no words to adequately express my horror and disgust at this<\/a>.<\/strong> In a nutshell, the dictator of Uzbekistan has ordered the forced hysterectomy of women without their knowledge or consent. Please join with me in signing the petition to Secretary of State Clinton to cut off U.S. funding from this monster.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/strong><\/p>\n My mom sent me an interesting article<\/a> about an autism study conducted by the University of Washington<\/a>.<\/strong> Apparently, there are differences in white brain matter present in kids with autism. This actually isn’t a surprise because we know that Daniel’s MRI last year showed some white matter abnormalities. I’m not taking this as a “surefire” sign that predicted Daniel’s autism but it is an interesting idea.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/strong><\/p>\n Anyone else excited for the crossover between Hawaii Five-0<\/a> and NCIS: Los Angeles<\/a>?<\/strong> I’d prefer one with just the NCIS shows but I’ll take this one. I’m probably not going to be able to watch Hawaii Five-0<\/a> on Monday night as it conflicts with Hart of Dixie<\/a> so I’ll just catch it online while Daniel is at preschool that Tuesday.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/strong><\/p>\n I have a blog<\/a> set up for Brett<\/a>.<\/strong> I would blog for him here but I have to use my last name to do that and I keep that off this site because it’s incredibly searchable. I also wanted a site where I could add his adoptive parents as bloggers if they so chose. Peacefulwaters.Org<\/a> is the domain I use for various projects so it fit that I move a blog over there. I’m having a really bad time with the WordPress<\/a> on it and I think I’ve re-installed it three or four times. Argh.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 7 —<\/strong><\/p>\n I have two weeks until the Promise Walk for Preeclampsia.<\/strong><\/p>\n For more Quick Takes, visit Jen at ConversionDiary.Com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spring has come to Sacramento which means the air conditioner is turned on again.
