Thanks, @nam. I will look for it. There’s is a Shiraz called Jar Jar that I really like to drink. Especially when I make either a big pot of chili/pasta or some winter kind of roast with lots of root veggies. I love that one. Shot fire makes my favorite Shiraz. |

I currently buy Joel Gott Cabernet for $12.99 a bottle. It’s really good. Several friends have commented when I’ve served it.
I don’t like white, although I’d be willing to taste test in case i find something i do like. They are all too fruity for me.

I don’t like Chardonnay either. A former friend of mine always ordered Chardonnay when she had sushi, and the pairing always felt off to me. I don’t drink often but I always try to keep a bottle of Sauvignon blab or sancere on hand for white and just a Pinot Noir or a Cabernet for red, but I mostly cook with that. My mom, sister and I recently went out for omelettes and chardonnay... |

Just finished talking to the OT.
She's referring him to a neurodevelopmental pedi because she can't make a diagnosis but she sees behaviors that make her think we need to see if he's On the spectrum.

So, you guys know how on Facebook messenger if you message a page listed as a business it has those auto messages you can tap on to send like “still available” “how much” stuff like that?
I was just letting C mess around with my phone while I cleaned the kitchen and she somehow messaged the secretary of Landon’s school asking “how much for your services.” 😬🤣🤣

Thanks for the solidarity friend (we will pretend I’m not several hours behind you!) I bought a few different kinds of pumpkin/Octoberfest beers so I’m going to try one of those. Then I’m making the kids Mac and cheese and I’m going to order myself takeout tonight. |

Dh’s flight is delayed 😫😫😫 Is it to early to start drinking?? Join me. I have no idea where they are, if it took off, if it took off on time or late, what time it’s expected in...I feel like I should have heard something by now and I’m on my way to being a wreck. |

cagoldi how are you feeling about that? Not having the answers is awful, but testing and whatnot is also so stressful.

cagoldi how are you feeling about that? Not having the answers is awful, but testing and whatnot is also so stressful. IDK sort of like, huh. Really? I mean, I definitely see the "red flags" she described but they're not that out there or I never thought of them as a concern. Sort of chalked them up to "oh, that's kind of a peculiar thing he likes to do." Pete and my mom insist he's fine, he's great. He is. But I think what they're calling "red flags" we saw as strengths like "he really enjoys xyz and isn't it cool that he's so observant/focused" and didn't recognize it as self-stimming or repetitive behavior, you know? |

I’m sorry cagoldi. That’s never what a parent wants to hear. I hope you can get in with the developmental pedi quickly and he can either allay your concerns, or get a plan together for X moving forward. |

 If you like pumpkin this is pretty good! (And this is coming from someone who doesn’t like PSL’s) |

I hope the next consult goes well cagoldi. And keep in mind that it's called "the spectrum" for a reason and perhaps if X is in fact on it, maybe you guys didn't see it because he's on the mild end. Either way, I know that you'll be able to handle it well and X has a lovely supporting family to help him reach his potential. |

Stressful, cagoldi . I thought it was too early for a spectrum diagnosis at 2. I hope you get some answers soon. My sister (an SLP) worked with children who were just over a year old and had been diagnosed with autism. In some cases it can be pretty clear very early. |

C has cried more tonight then he has in months. First because I yelled at him for kicking the gate on our way out of school. Cue meltdown. Then he fell walking up the stairs and a toy fell on his toe in the shower. He’s clearly overtired and at an 11. I can’t wait for bed time!

Stressful, cagoldi. I thought it was too early for a spectrum diagnosis at 2. I hope you get some answers soon. She did say it is kind of early, but she has seen these behaviors since his first visit and just wanted to give herself more time to observe. She said at this point she thinks it's appropriate to move forward with a consult. |
