Pumpkin Inferno at Fort Henry

Pumpkin Inferno

For the first time ever Fort Henry brought us Pumpkin Inferno. A yearly event at Upper Canada Village, I was ecstatic when I heard they were bringing it to Fort Henry. Many times I had planned to go see Pumpkin Inferno at Upper Canada Village but it was never in the cards for me. I was determined that I would not miss it at Fort Henry.

The Last Battle If it should be that I grow frail The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this — the last battle — can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close — we two — these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Is your child; - Sensitive to noise? - Sensitive Is your child;

- Sensitive to noise?
- Sensitive to how their clothes feel?
- Not do well with change?
- Has trouble sleeping?

Did your doctor tell you this is normal or give you a diagnosis you didn't agree with?

6 years ago we were told our youngest son had ADHD. I did not agree but was not able to get a second opinion. YAY a doctor shortage in Ontario. 

A blessing to our move is we ended up getting a doctor who listened to us. After 6 long years we finally got our autism diagnosis. 

A new blog post is up (link in bio) that explains how we knew it wasn't the ADHD diagnosis we were given.
