Everyone needs a little Elmo.

Battling winter colds around here yesterday and today. Right now Simon is all bundled up on the couch watching Monsters, Inc.
A couple days ago we discovered a great little Elmo video that is a free download from iTunes called Happy, Healthy Ready for School(part of the Learn Along with Sesame program). For some reason I can't seem to post a direct link - if you use iTunes it is listed under TV Shows/Kids/Learn Along with Sesame. As you can see from the photo above, Simon is really enjoying the video (talks about putting your backpack in a cubby, snack time, letters, numbers, etc - all the things he does in his school).
And thanks to Stephanie who sent me a link to The Foundation For A Better Life site yesterday. Uplifting.
I also wanted to share what my Mom wrote in the comments section yesterday regarding those photos she took on the coast:

I want your Mom to adopt me! I too have a little autistic son who is an absolute treasure, but sadly neither my parents, nor my husbands parents have ever taken him anywhere, and between them all, he has only been babysat 3 times in his 4 years. I have officially given up on them after reading your post, and your Mom's words. Thanks for sharing. It is heartening to know that it's not that whole generation that is opting out of their grandchildren's lives...just the ones we know!

I enjoyed reading your mom's message. I lost my mom in Oct. 05 after a two-month battle with lung cancer. At the time, I was also going through a divorce. My son, who was 3 at the time had to deal with the double devastation of his parents' divorce and the death of his best friend who happened to also be his granny.
She absolutely adored him. They spent oodles of time together. She was my biggest cheerleader and best friend. She was also my always-in-the-mood babysitter. I know the gratitude you feel when your mom does a couple of errands for you. I wonder if they realize what a help they are being...
When I read your mom's message I was reminded of mine. Thank you.
