One day late.

DS really gets the trick-or-treat thing. I didn't think there was any chance of DS wearing an actual costume for Halloween. Last year he just wore a skeleton shirt. He's got a dinosaur costume, but I didn't even try to put it on him. He started putting it on by himself and yelling "trick-or-treat" until someone gives him a piece of candy for his collection.

I had a parent-teacher conference for my son with ASD. He is doing great! Good test scores, participating in groups, trying to participate in class, and reading a lot. This kid who never drew or colored until the end of kindergarten is a drawing machine lately.
My son in kindergarten is being a great buddy to a student in his class with special needs. His teacher was proud he was cheering on his classmate and helping him!
Proud mom.

DS has had balance issues. After a year of working on balance and coordination with lots of balance toys, dance and gymnastics class he can now balance on one foot for 30 seconds. It was maybe 2 seconds.

Hearing aids are Thursday, but I am nervous about it. I don't know what I am afraid of- just nervous about about multiple things. Any advice, hair pats?

We spent halloween at DS's BFFs. I'm just so tickled he has a BFF. They are so jazzed to see each other and they both dressed as darth vader.

Good luck Waverly!

DS dressed up like Captain Underpants last night. I love making costumes and this was another one of my favorites, replete with a giant fat suit covered with a full head to toe nude body stocking and giant underpants up to his nipples.

When his BFF, who is developing a bit of a snarky attitude, saw him he told him he looked stupid, completely ridiculous, and dumb (I was standing within earshot). DS responded by saying, "You mean, awesome, right? Totally hilarious?" BFF relented and agreed. I don't know if that's a brag. I don't know if he thought his BFF was kidding- or if he knew he was being snarky and was trying to lighten the mood. Regardless, I thought he handled it well.
