But for those who haven't, Buttercup is in love with a farm boy named Westley. When she wants to tell him she loves him, she says "Fetch me that pitcher, farm boy" and he replies "As you wish" which means I love you. So our joke is that his nickname is farm boy and she says "fetch me that watermelon, farm boy". It's all in good fun. She no longer gets embarrased about it. She just thinks it's funny.

She brought her GPA up from 0.33 to 3.75. That's not a typo either. I couldn't get the right help for her until she started high school. That is why her GPA was so low. Now she's a straight A student. I guess that's why I push so hard for parents to become their child's advocate. If you expect the school to always know what is good for your child, you are settling for mediocracy. They have so many children that need help, they can't know your child as well as you do. Maybe I'm overbearing, but I have worked so hard to help my children achieve their potential. Now my girls with autism (Fiona and Bristol) have a great start to their lives.

She and I play every night before bed. You see, she reads voraciously. This past weekend, she read 4 books that are around 200 pages each and then read several smaller books. Now she's on the last book in a series that she's been reading. I pretend that her favorite "stufty" animals are reading her books. She used to tell me that "They can't read, they're just stufty animals" and get agitated when I said they could. Now, for two nights, she's pretended that her doll talked to me. This is such a huge learning leap for her. She's never tried to pretend with me, she's usually very literal. It's such a hard thing to teach an autistic person. I'm so thrilled right now. Since she was little, both me and her therapists have tried to teach her to use her imagination and now she did it!!!! She's done so well this year. First, she finally learns to dress herself (this is very recent too) and to not need a paraprofessional in class, and then she starts using her imagination. I couldn't be prouder right now.</p> Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:49:18 -0800 2009-03-16T14:50:48-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (fortheloveofFiona) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/4383536395 41.229346 -87.129499 41.229346 -87.129499 2431926 My sweet princess... <p>FeFi is finally learning to use some imagination.

I am her custodial parent..always have been. He's been out of the picture since she was 5 months old. Anyway, her stepmother decided that Belanah is an embarassment to her dad and their family because I allow her to wear eyeliner...black eyeliner. She told me that me allowing her to wear eyeliner is the same as her(the stepmother) pushing my daughter off the roof. She then said that people that wear black eyeliner end up pregnant and on drugs. Honestly...what the hell is this woman talking about? I modeled as a teenager and was doing runway shows when I was 14. Belanah is 13 and a half. I think she should be allowed to wear light tasteful makeup (she only uses eyeliner, mascara, and chapstick). Her father agreed with the stepmother and chose to give up seeing her anymore because I refuse to allow the stepmother around her. I gave him the option of visitation at my house (visitation is to my discretion according to my court papers) and he refused. Today, he called me and tried to tell me I had until tomorrow to give him the right to claim her on his taxes so I could get a bigger refund from him (he is over 13,000 behind in child support). I chose to refuse him, I consider it a bribe that he's trying to give me. I am reporting him to child support in the morning and letting them hear the message he sent me in a voice text. I am going to court again to have the judge look at my support order and hopefully issue the warrant for his arrest for non payment of child support. I want to make sure they hear the bribe, so that if he does claim her without my permission(and signature), they can prosecute him for that. Belanah says she's done with him. I don't blame her. Can you believe this whole thing started over black eyeliner?</p> Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:43:21 -0800 2008-11-01T22:35:11-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (fortheloveofFiona) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/4364116409 41.229346 -87.129499 41.229346 -87.129499 2431926 Black eyeliner <p>A really lovely head shot of Belanah...I got into an argument with her father this weekend.
