Simon says...

you are so cool. - Love the video. What an inspiration

GREAT picture! I am so glad that Simon is doing so well. Have a GREAT time this weekend.

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!

great photo! have fun at ckc!

idol is known as the singing show in our household too:)
and here's to tivo working...so no more wed idol's go untaped!

Haha... I'm hearing a lot of "pat, clap, pat, clap..." from Camden these days. The idea of a "taking breaks" corner is SO perfect for him. I think I will set one up for him in his room. Thanks for mentioning that! I love updates on Simon. To me, he's just as precious as my own little ones.

such a cool picture and I must say that I a bit "jealous" on how good Autism is supported in schools and special programmes in the usa. I wish we had those here too in the Netherlands.

Ali,
My 5 year old son was also diagnosed when he was 3 years old. It was a defintie up hill battle to get the diagnosis. I appreciate all your info on your blog. Amazing!What a resource. I am also really liking your banner that was posted the other day. I will keep reading! Good luck with your efforts. I am trying to get my MIL to join in on a walk with me in June. Wish me luck!

ALi-
We are big into the Einsteins here as well. We are actually going to see Ralph's World this weekend (band in between shows)...I even like the music. :-)

Simon is growing up fast and making such progress. Love the cookie dough story! He's a child after my own cookie dough heart. Glad the family can join you at CK Convention and I wish I were there, too!

Lisa and Elden

Simon asked whatcha doing people? I am taking a break from my job.
Thanks for the smile! I can make it through the day!!
Happy Weekend!

Simon is adorable. 'Whatcha doing people?' How sweet! Seriously cute pic. :)
Love the progressive sounding nature of the school he is in. I wish I heard more stories like this. Especially since he knows how to 'cope' with a school situation and they equip him to do it on his own. You should be really happy with this, Ali. I have 2 autistic cousins who've struggled (and still are) in environments that were meant for kids without autism. Your school seems to 'get it.' I bet you had to do a lot of research to find the right place. So glad to hear this stuff!

I'm mostly just a lurker, however, I couldn't help but respond - Simon seems to be making some great progress! That is so exciting!

Wow, look at those numbers! I'm so so so proud of you and proud to have donated!! My little 3 yr old boy Nate, who is autistic does the pat, pat, pat thing too. So cute!!

I'm excited for CKC PDX! Doing some shopping this morning and will be in class with you tomorrow....can't wait to meet you! (and maybe your family)

Simon is so adorable. I enjoy the photos. I am so excited that your numbers and donations are climbing. Would love to see you finish at number one. I pray that everyone keeps these donations coming so you can finish on top and hope the donations continue when the project is done.
Ali you are an inspiration to us all. Thank you so much.

I need a taking breaks spot, when no one can disturb me.
What a lovely idea!

we're just getting our daily dose of simon . . .can never get enough of that! hope your convention goes well ~ so neat that your family gets to be there with you and you to have them there with you.
