A Way To Give Back!

The Livingston County Head Start Program has done so much for Isabella and Nikolas with their autism, that I wanted to share this with you as a way to give back to the program. 

Little Niko is selling Yankee Candles to raise money for Head Start. The candles are being sold at a discounted price and there are tons to choose from. At least 70 items are under $15!!

If you wanted to stock up, or maybe grab something for yourself, or as a gift to give, now is the chance.

A POST SIX MONTHS IN THE MAKING...

I know it's been awhile since I've posted- but I'm back with some amazing news to share. So I hope this makes up for slacking a bit here.

See, my little bug has a more severe case of autism than my little butterfly does. He will be four years old in the beginning of February, and he is still considered "non-verbal". He uses speech, but usually only when he's repeating someone. That is why his video is so amazing.

He's leading the charge!!!

Nikolas counting from one to ten (and throwing an adorable twelve in there at the end).

I titled this post "Six Months in the Making" because we've been working on letters and numbers for the better part of the last six months. For the longest time, he would only repeat the numbers after I, or his teachers, said it. Well, last night, while singing our "number song", he started taking the lead. Thankfully, I had my phone handy and managed to capture the whole glorious experience on video!

I'm not sure if words can express just how proud/happy/excited/thrilled I was/am to share this today!

That face makes my heart smile!

Stay tuned: the next few posts will include another Arts & Crafts post, an updated Graphics Share (since Autism Awareness Month/Day is coming soon), an edible science experiment post and, as usual, updates on the trials, rewards, tribulations and thrills of living life the autism way! 

As always, thanks for reading!
