My Boy With Autism

I blog about my life with my child who has Autism, severe learning difficulties, poor communication, Epilepsy, and OCD. Born in 2002, he has become so much more than just a label. I write about our life ; the ups and downs, the triumphs, the joys, and anything in the news (about disabilities) that has caught my eye. He is the eldest of three. My youngest has Nystagmus, a mild speech disorder, and a very mild Sensory Processing Disorder. *Thank You For Stopping By*

Bear in the Big Blue House

This American children's programme has been a part of our lives for 7 years!
It is J's all time favourite programme and over the years I have recorded it on VHS from the PlayHouse Disney channel, then bought them on VHS, then upgraded to DVD and now record on the Sky+ Box.

It is made by Jim Henson productions who made the Muppets and Fraggle Rock ( I loved both of those as a child). J will watch them endlessly all day every day and never gets bored.
I must say that he will not give this much time to any other programmes, however Noddy does feature a little.

For a child who is nearly eight years old it may seem unusual that he likes programmes aimed at pre-schoolers, but I know he will be watching them well into his teens and most probably adulthood.

I buy a lot of Bear items from eBay as they do not make anything new, apart from the DVDs.

Is it sad that I can sing over 20 Bear songs from the show?! Answers on a postcard please.
