Live from the Yankee Dental Congress

It has been an interesting few days. Well, we found Sam's iPod. Our desk has a hole covered by a round piece of metal. It is what you would run cords through so they are less visible. The Little Person is a big fan of this hole, and we have stopped telling him to stop putting things down there. When you put something down the hole, it ends up under the desk. It is the one place we did not look. M happened to ask The Little Person if he knew where the iPod was, and of course he did, because he hid it. Little bastard!

Today I got up early, first to hang out with Sam, and then to attend a course called Success with Autism, given by Stephen Shore, Ed.D at the Yankee Dental Congress. It had to do with how to handle patients, especially children, with autism in a dental office. It was a good talk, and I think my Dad found it really interesting. We purchased a couple of books from Dr. Shore, one called Autism for Dummies, which struck me as funny, and the other his autobiography with a foreword by Temple Grandin, called Beyond the Wall. Dr. Shore himself has autism, and so he speaks from him personal experiences with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Next on the agenda: shots for Sam tomorrow. Wish me luck. Right now he is whining/crying for no reason I can detect.
