Possibilities.

Hi Ali! I had the same problem with my Ethan {3 years} in regards to the water. I bought him the best ever kids goggles:

{or of the link does not work search for "Aqua Sphere KIDS Seal Clear Lens Swim Goggles" on Amazon.com}. Seriously - the best goggles EVER!
take care!

What kind of mask did you get and where did you get it? My son also has Asperger's and is turning 5 in May and I'd like to get one for his birthday.....Thanks!

Never heard of this place, but if you say that it's good, I'll try printing my photos there! :)

Love that photo of Simon on the sofa!!

Mmmm...love that feeling of opening an envelope of newly-printed pictures...taking a moment to relish in the memories they capture...savoring the possibilities that a stack of photos offers. Hope you have lots of fun with your latest prints. =)

Yes, first you can not get them in the water, then you can not get them out. I remember that with my boys.
I just got a package of pictures myself and am so looking forward to scrapbooking those wonderful stories. Hope you have fun with your photo's/stories. I look forward to seeing your vacation album if you post it. Your albums are always such a great source of inspiration to me!
Enjoy your little fish.

It is sooo exciting getting photos back from the printer and it is very inspiring as well. It is great to hear about Simon and his fascination for water. I dunno if you saw when I wrote to you about scrapbooking after one of your sketches (p.137 in A desinger's eye for scrapbooking)
http://scrapjo.blogspot.com/2008/04/vr-frsta-lgenhet.html Check it ot! And thank you sooo much for all the inspiration you give! I loved you book Life Artist and flip through it every day :)

GO Simon! GO Mama! Go Papa!
It is so amazing to see them grow and learn, everyday.

Isn't it great when they figure out that swimming thing? The little ones are so much fun to watch while they frolic in the water like little seals. Glad Simon is enjoying it.

Love the simon on the couch pic....and soooooo get the out of the pool meltdowns; daughter #1 was a mermaid in a former life. be well. h2

love the white borders - just got a set from scrapbookpictures myself...and the water - I think it is the freedom. Madison is a fish too! we always say that she would live in a pool if she was able, only to come out for snack breaks and an occasional dvd. : )
have a great weekend!

Hi :) I love that picture of Simon laying on the bench/couch. What a great shot! I really like your choice of today's post title, "Possibilities". That's my word for this year. I haven't been doing very well as far as putting it to work or seeing that word at work in my life but I keep looking. I did find a Sherwin Williams ad in May's issue of BH&G. (Here's a photo I took of the ad--cropped to just the word, however: http://www.flickr.com/photos/64193962@N00/2441152802/ ). I know & love that same feeling of getting a package of pictures in the mail (especially when it's from Shutterfly because they have fun packaging). Thanks for all your inspiration. What has inspired you/where have you found inspiration for yourself lately? (other than DD's Inspired workshop). Oh, one last thing...wtg to Simon, for becoming a great swimmer! (sorry this turned out to be such a long comment)

Yay Simon, so glad to hear that he has become Nemo. =) You must take lots of pics so we can see this new adventure of that cutie.
Thanks for the link to the photo developing place. I love their options and have signed up to get some printed. I figure after having about 3000 that I need printed, I better get started soon. I like that you shared with us some of the photos that you received back from them so I was able to see the quality of the print. They look REALLY nice.
Have a great one Ali. Happy Friday.

Just a little trick that I always use to get my kids out of the pool. Most community pools or swim clubs have an adult swim. Ours is the last 15 minutes of every hour. My warning is always: The next time the whistle blows, its time to go. Then they know they have to get out and gather their things. Usually a promise of a snack from the snack machine on the way out adds that extra incentive to pack it in.

I have not ordered photos on line for so long...but after seeing your post, I am going to do that tomorrow. I have my little grandson coming to spend the night tonight and I want to get some good pics. Somehow, having a big stack of favorite photos seems more fun than painstakingly printing a few at a time....Good idea. Love your blog!

Congratulations to your little fish. I need to get my guy swimming like that. He can keep afloat and propel himself forward, but it ain't pretty. lol

How therapeutic for you and your husband as well as Simon.

congrats momma on the pool thing!!! Isn't it great when they are getting it?? Really getting it!
