Recently, we had something happen to us, and we just had to share it. If youve been reading our blog, you know our three kids are all on the autism spectrum. This means they have trouble picking up social cues.

When we were kids, most families followed a similar routine. In the mornings – you got up, ate breakfast and went to school. In the afternoon – you came home, did homework (well most of the time), played with your friends, came home 15 minutes after the streetlights came on and sat down with the family for dinner.

I dont know about all of you, but Ive had the best of times and the worst of times with child care. Its not like you can place a general ad or hire the first person off the street as if you were Wal-Mart.
