30 days of autism: day 25

Javin will be back to his Octonauts obsession once he sees they have a new creature chart to collect sea creatures! At least they sell the toys here now, don't have to buy from UK anymore! 

Yup, he's happily concentrating on coloring Octonauts for his book we created last year! 

If you are interested in creating the Creature Chart and collecting sea creatures, go to disneyjr.com and click on the Coloring section of Octonauts. Everything is available to print off! Have fun!

30 days of autism: day 24

This is one of the shows that Javin is currently obsessed with...Charlie & Lola. Notice how many episodes are on the list...my job as Javin's mama is to memorize each episode and know any obscure reference to each episode.

30 days of autism: day 23

So I had another post in mind for today but then THIS happened:

Umm, this is a REALLY big deal. Huge! Javin is playing with the neighborhood kids! They are playing cops and zombies. And when they all ran across the street, he sat down in our yard and waited for them to come back. I just sat in awe while I watched it all unfold. #hopefulmama

Javin is sportin' his new "Ausome" shirt! 

At the dentist!

This kid amazes me with what he can handle. Didn't know they got a new x-ray machine that spins so I couldn't prep him for it but he was a champ!!! Proud Mama!

30 days of autism: day 21

Notice how he's eating his apple? He's got two loose front teeth. He says, "the applesauce inside this apple is juicy!". Lol! On a side note, he sang the Good News song in front of the whole church today! I left my camera in the car so I couldn't take a pic or video! :( I am so proud of him! We have a special needs ministry at church and we have a "Good News Event" each year for people in the community of all abilities to come out and have a good time (moon bounces, pony rides, etc.) without fear of rejection.

Javin is playing dentist as we have a discussion about his trip to the dentist tomorrow. Always have to prep him before changes in his schedule occur. Glad @inchulk Daddy is the patient, he doesn't look too comfy! Lol!

30 days of autism: day 20

Photo by hubby: @inchulk Javin started therapeutic riding today. I missed it because I was at an autism conference but was so glad to hear he had a blast! 

30 days of autism: day 19

Oh my sweet baby! I am so proud. He won a Character Counts award for responsibility. I just always assumed (outside of those who know Javin personally) that he was invisible and today I was proved wrong. I am one happy Mama!
