Instead of posting just one picture for this week, I decided to post a few pictures from our visit to a small pumpkin patch close to our house

E and me looking at a pumpkin

A nice lady at the pumpkin patch let E “drive” the tractor

He loves to drive!

They also had a pirate ship for the kids to play on and pirate hats for the kids to wear

He wasn’t too excited about the pirate ship or hat.

and finally, here is a picture of the $5 edible squash I bought

Any ideas what I should do with it after it’s done being a decoration?

Sometimes Joey and I will call E, “E Monster”. I’m not completely sure why we started calling him that but this morning he was an “E Monster”

I left his room for a second and this is what I found when I came back

And next he decided to empty the diaper bag while I was in the kitchen

Oh man. I am in for trouble!

Here is proof that Pumpkin is a good cat

E started attacking her the minute we got home. I sure hope this doesn’t continue or I’m afraid E may learn his lesson the hard way (i.e., Pumpkin bites him).

E watching America’s Funniest Home Videos

Too funny!

Here is a funny video of E walking around and hitting his head on things and saying “ow”.

Note: video appears to be upside down but is really not

I don’t know why he does this. Silly boy.

Another note: If E is wearing clothes with characters on them (like the pajamas in the video), they probably came from Grandma O. I am not a fan of characters on clothes so I will not buy them until I absolutely have to (i.e., E asks for them)

Joey took these pictures of E during class last night. I love how happy E looks

E loves the fish tank at the Little Gym. During class he will usually make his way to the door and start making his fish sound like he wants to go see the fish. I remind him that we will look at the fish before we leave and bring him back to what we are supposed to be doing.

Today during class he kept making the noise he makes for fish and started sucking in the sides of his cheeks. Too funny. I tried to get a picture of it and this was the best I could get

Silly boy.

I watched this video and liked what it had to say so I thought I would share it here

I have had the opportunity to work with families before and/or after their child is diagnosed with Autism and for some reason when he held up the card that said “the diagnosis was the easy part”, it really made me think.
