Ann has started her own blog, focusing on Gregory, who is on the spectrum for autism. G-man is, thank God, extremely communicative and affectionate, and as this video shows, he loves to be tickled. This is one of Ann's favorite videos, and she figured out how to put it on her sidebar. The "Dugga Dugga" game, as Gregory calls it, sends him into hysterics, and has been used to transition him from frustration elsewhere a number of times.
Given our schedule, especially with the time I spend in the field, times like this are special. Our children do inspire us, and they make the challenges the business sometimes pose more bearable. There are things I never would have done as a single guy that I embrace as a dad. But embracing Gregory tops it all.

Thank you for sharing Gregory with us. I have 3 friends with children that have varying degrees of autism and I know just how challenging and rewarding it can be. Happy New Year Phil!
What an infectious laugh that kid has. Yet you manage to sit there with a straight face most of the time. You're a good dad.
Susan- "labor of love" applies quite fittingly.
Elizabeth- Thank you. I try with all four.
Eileen- Just think, you may get a chance to do the same thing in 2010.
When Gregory comes home from school he smells like perfume. The teachers can't resist. Nor should they. Kids should feel loved.
