Was so excited to not only find a balance bike for Joey but one that was paid forward. He was so excited we had to stop at the park to try it. A rough adjustment of the seat and he was off. Road over a mile which is a win. #josephrobert #thisis3 #ASD #toddlersofinstagram #momswithcameras #mommasboy #ADHD #adhdlife #mohawk #toddlerswithstyle #balancebikes #miniglider (at Onondaga Lake Park, Wegman's Playground) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCB_3rJpneX/?igshid=kjvry0mxg6bf

We had the best time today. Not too hot and our friends were able to join us. Thanks @crystalmariebeebe for hanging with us. Joey did great trying to keep up with colt. I think he may need a bigger bike again. He took a 5 minute nap then we set up the tent. #josephrobert #thisis3 #ASD #toddlersofinstagram #momswithcameras #mommasboy #ADHD #adhdlife #mohawk #toddlerswithstyle #toddlersonbikes (at Erie Canal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeB-YBpAhu/?igshid=r1ssapxuk8pd

Joey was so happy Coneheads is finally open. He enjoyed his red ice cream aka strawberry 🍓 hanging on to every bit of normal we can. Plus it was beautiful out. #josephrobert #thisis3 #ASD #toddlersofinstagram #momswithcameras #mommasboy #ADHD #adhdlife (at Coneheads Creamery, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAL5MuzpMMF/?igshid=huz5w7c5ww8v

Not a bad weekend!

Weather was 78° Joey was rocking his new trolls shirt and mickey mask. He was doing so awesome we even took a short trip to the dollar store. He hasn't been able to come to the store with us since March 16th. Most places are still closed but our buddy needed a break.

We spent the afternoon outside ended up with battle wounds from playing football with daddy. So to make it up to him mike scored half the trolls collection at dollar general. Joey is obsessed with queen barb. Have you seen the new trolls world tour movie?

It's been forever since I posted an update. We are among the many who are on lockdown doing distance learning. Joey is learning how to cut with scissors ✂. Trying to keep up with all the lessons has been difficult. We have recently found out Joey is autistic, has adhd, odd and a coordination disorder. Therapy during the quarntine has been hit or miss mostly a miss cause it wasn't being offered. I included a photo of Joey enjoying is cupcake. He loves frosting! Even though it's hard and his routine is messed up I love the extra time we are getting.

Was trying to get on video him dancing while pushing the shopping cart but he wouldn’t do it when I was recording. Instead I got this cute photo of him putting toys in his shopping cart 🛒 #josephrobert #toddlersofinstagram #momswithcameras #shoppingcart #melissaanddougtoys (at Fayetteville Free Library)
