If every child in the world was celebrated for their uniqueness and showered with true love this way the world would be a better place.

Happy Birthday Leo!!!

Leo you are blessed to have parents who get what's important in this world.

WOW!

I made the cake, but my friend Elaine made the cupcakes -- can't take credit for those. :)

Delicious!

I love the idea that anything goes and no-holds-barred is the whole point of Leo's birthday. Clearly, it works well if those photos of his beautiful punim are evidence! :-) Here's wishing the happiest of birthday celebrations to all of you!

Best wishes to your whole family for this very special day. And I have to say, judging by the Totoro cake, it looks like Leo has excellent taste in movies.

Leo's Party

Well, Leo's Mother, we all know how good you are with the homemade party favors. Is it weird that I got all teared up when I looked at Leo's coloring book (again)?

And, my good sweet Lord, who made that birthday cake?

Love this post!

You're awesome. Just found you 'cause I posted my own Halloween tale here. Love the pix of Leo. What a lucky guy to have a mom like you. I really like your writing and with kids(and all kinds of other folks in my life) with their own quirks I appreciate the information and suggestions.

Always fun and informative to read your posts. Halloween was always a big scarey not-fun day for us in our house. Even to this day highschoolboy still hates it. Does not find enjoyment in being scared, costumes and the like. In fact as a small boy Halloween used to frighten him because he thought that all the people transformed into their scarey costumed characters. How's that for being a literal aspie?

BTW great pics.

Another great post!

(aka Bubblygrl) Thanks for the shout out, Shannon.

Between Nik's not understanding what Halloween is about and last year's sensory nightmare when we tried to take him Trick or Treating...we're going to sit this dance out! I'm printing this post to file away for ideas when the day comes that Nik might want to participate in Halloween. Or, if not, to share with other families.

On another note, is it wrong of me to hear the theme to Green Acres as I look at the photo of Leo alone in the back of the truck? *giggle*

I'd take the autistic, challenging, loving, wonderful little boy over measles any day ;) . Seperating the autism from who he is as a person is impossible- I wish his life was easier and I wish people were more accepting, but I don't know how to wish away the autism and not wish him away.

I would be less annoyed with anti-vaxing community if they weren't so committed to spreading confusing misinformation and disinformation. And if they weren't putting immune compromised children, infants, children who medically cannot recieve vaccinations, etc, at risk by not only choosing NOT to vaccinate but also choosing to fearmonger their friends and neighbors into not vaccinating, thus putting us dangerously close to a threshold that could cause the reintroduction of many serious diseases in our country.
