The Reluctant Adventurer: September 2013
http://kristin-thecarvers.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
A boy with Fragile X Syndrome does not always try new things without some prompting and persuasion. Monday, September 2, 2013. I'm going to miss this view. Well, it was quite the summer. And I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I've posted anything. Guess I spent a lot of time working on my tan! The biggest news for me is that at the end of June I was offered a job! I have been mostly okay with it, but here I am the night before the big day and I am scared spitless. Because while he is the...

The Reluctant Adventurer: Way to go, little man!!!
http://kristin-thecarvers.blogspot.com/2014/03/way-to-go-little-man.html
A boy with Fragile X Syndrome does not always try new things without some prompting and persuasion. Monday, March 10, 2014. Way to go, little man! Wow, what a difference one person can make. Just over a month ago, I took Ian to see Dr. Mead who handles his medications. I expressed concerns about Ian's behavior at school and we discussed the possibility of making some changes in our routine and his dosage, etc. Since previous attempts to do this were not successful (disastrous is a better term! The only s...

The Reluctant Adventurer: Spring Break and 9 Weeks to Go
http://kristin-thecarvers.blogspot.com/2015/04/spring-break-and-9-weeks-to-go.html
A boy with Fragile X Syndrome does not always try new things without some prompting and persuasion. Sunday, April 12, 2015. Spring Break and 9 Weeks to Go. So, how was your Spring Break? Well, we did not go to Disney. Or the beach. But, we chilled and slept and basically recharged the batteries. Because there are only 9 weeks left until the end of the school year. 9 weeks! On Easter I made brunch with mimosas (of course), hot cross buns, sausage from the Lakeside Farmer's Market, and scrambled eggs.

The Reluctant Adventurer: My Teacher Appreciation Week Project
http://kristin-thecarvers.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-teacher-appreciation-week-project.html
A boy with Fragile X Syndrome does not always try new things without some prompting and persuasion. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. My Teacher Appreciation Week Project. I thought this poem was perfect. Teacher Appreciation Week Project, 2015. So, a few years ago my friend Joyce Kreger was very complimentary of my gift bags for the teachers on Ian's 5th Grade Team. She even published it on her Cool Party Favors site! Well, this year is not quite the same level, but I decided to share it again. So, using discounted...

A boy with Fragile X Syndrome does not always try new things without some prompting and persuasion. Saturday, April 18, 2015. Back to school and an IEP Meeting. So, this week went pretty well. My co-worker Regan timed her maternity leave perfectly because baby Henry James arrived on Monday evening. What happy news! Can't wait to meet him. The substitute for two weeks is a very nice guy named Mr. Martin. Regan left great sub plans and Mr. Martin has fit in just fine. We love you Ms. Nidia! April, and hope...

The Reluctant Adventurer: Kindness, in bulk
http://kristin-thecarvers.blogspot.com/2015/04/kindness-in-bulk.html
A boy with Fragile X Syndrome does not always try new things without some prompting and persuasion. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Kindness, in bulk. So, if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you probably know that I shop at BJs. A LOT. And you might just kind of wonder why. I mean, we are not a large family and it's not terribly convenient to our house. Well, the main reason is Ian. We don't buy eggs at BJs! Sometimes he'll push the cart and help me unload it at checkout. (Did I mention the eggs? So, we ...

The Reluctant Adventurer: February 2013
http://kristin-thecarvers.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
A boy with Fragile X Syndrome does not always try new things without some prompting and persuasion. Monday, February 25, 2013. This one's not about Ian.well, sort of. It's been an action-filled couple of weeks, and I have fallen behind. A little "back"ground, ha ha. And, to be honest, I was very, very scared. Yeah, I know this sounds dramatic, but it was AWFUL. So, we get into the ER and this is kind of where my thoughts turned to Ian. Not that I was worried about him being home with Ashby. (In f...He wo...
