It's just a high-pitched "Nnnn-hhnn!" that he does when he's really enjoying something, whether he's jumping on his mini-tram, playing a game, or playing "come-get-me."<BR/><BR/>It's freezing outside today & rainy. So where is Connor? Out in the backyard (he followed directions to put on heavy socks, mud boots, a coat and gloves) and he went to find all the ice chunks he could so he could smash them. What's more fun than that?Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828922734405535654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21838748.post-76044604797782770572008-01-26T14:46:00.000-08:002008-01-26T14:46:00.000-08:00Impaired kids make me laugh...Thursday morning, i ...Impaired kids make me laugh...<BR/><BR/>Thursday morning, i pulled into the south medford parking lot, got out and was walking to my first class. other cars were pulling in and the special-ed bus drives past. in the window i see a kid with a smile, just like Conner's, staring out the window. he sees me and proceeds to take a purple ice pack, one of those gelatin ones, and shove it all over his face... and cracks up laughing with a huge smile on his face... I began to laugh and i gave him a nice wave back...<BR/><BR/>It's always amazing to see what kind of simple things can make someone happy... <BR/><BR/>I've always enjoyed visiting your guys' house and one of my favorite things is waking up to Conner's amazing amount of noise (innocent noise) coming from the bathroom (can be a little unnerving) and watching as he does his routine of turning on certain lights, going into the kitchen, coming back and usually playing "Lego Star Wars" on the TV and just watching HOW he does all of these things can make me feel awake and cheerful. <BR/> <BR/>Watching him is so foreign, yet so simple and... dynamic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21838748.post-79350181294344397722008-01-25T17:44:00.000-08:002008-01-25T17:44:00.000-08:00wow, that is a cool article.

He may not change that much day to day, but we usually see a pretty big change everytime we come up to visit! He is sweet and lovable, and most of the time, very very happy!<BR/>Give him a hug from Tante Keeka!keekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09731742459975936881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21838748.post-24142241566628166022008-01-25T13:02:00.000-08:002008-01-25T13:02:00.000-08:00This is our son Logan.

The world only sees a small sliver of the wonders of autism...good and bad. But this says it all...we are richer for having him...as expensive as it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
