Simon says...
"whatcha doing people?"
Lots of talking coming for this little guy lately...and some pretty good antics too. Last night while Mom, Chris and I were watching American Idol (known around here as the "singing show") he grabbed the tub of cookie dough and headed back to our bedroom for a little feast. Yum. Daddy caught him on that one. He (Simon) laughed and laughed.
He is asking to be tickled and to be chased.
He says, "I cry myself" on the way to school every morning and has been choosing to "I take a break" most days when we get in the door of the classroom. The class has a spot set up just for "taking breaks" with some big beanbags so he can calm down and acclimate before making other activity choices.
He is really into Little Einsteins this week. Lots of "patting" going on (they pat their legs to make their rocket go fast).
He feeds Lily 2 cups of dog food in the morning (and sometimes sneaks a little bite for himself).
Simon and Chris and my Mom will be joining me up here in Portland tomorrow night for part of the CK Convention. Fun to have them here with me to see what I do, etc. Looking forward to seeing lots of familiar faces over the course of the weekend.
And man, those numbers keep on rising. It is so, so exciting.
OK, I couldn't add a PICTURE of the badge but I added a link to the badge on my school web page. You never know, some of my students' parents might be inspired to donate!
Cute picture of you and Simon!!! I'm so proud of him!

Simon is so completely adorable!! I've been meaning to say a huge thank you to you for all the work you do for Autism and finding a solution. My best friend's son was just diagnosed and I immediately put her on to the six degrees website. It's been a comfort to her in these trying days.
Thanks again Ali!!

I love the idea of a spot just for "taking breaks." I think any kid (or grown-up) could use that. I just may arrange a spot in our house for that very purpose!

Hey Ali: Just wondering how life as a politco's wife is? Is Chris enjoying his new job? We heard so much about the campaign just wondering how the actual job is.
That photo of you and your son is hysterical!

Great photo!! And I love the "taking breaks" corner. Will have to mention that to our principal. (I think I could use a "taking breaks" corner myself sometimes!!)

What a beautiful picture of your son! Sounds like he's making leaps and bounds.

I do believe I said a word not appropriate for Simon's ears when I saw over 11,000 on the banner!!
And I totally need a taking breaks corner for my life.

I don't mind a little dog food myself sometimes too. I like the little treats that look like pigs in a blanket. The outside is really sweet. This is not a habit though.

Love to hear Simon's words. Funny, my Christopher calls Idol the same thing. Sometimes it's "mama's singing show." Keep up the awesome work, Simon!
