The 12 Things at Christmas that Suck with ASD!

I was floating the web the other day and typed into Google 'Autism and Christmas' just to see what would pop up and amongst the few things I came across this humorous version of The 12 Days of Christmas song written by a parent of an Autistic child... once you've got the tune in your head sing along and just try not to laugh... I dare you!

PHOTO FUN!!

Sunny Days

What a gorgeous weekend it was... a great excuse to get outside for a little while!!
Felicity was with us on Saturday and after a bit of playroom in the morning we decided to take advantage of the fine weather and Milla being asleep to wash both cars. Of course Fliss jumped at the chance to much around with the water so we put on her togs and let her go nuts... Matt got pretty wet in the process!





Then on Sunday we had a mini Christmas with Wayne at Clovelly beach after dropping Fliss off so Milla was able to get into her swimmers this time.

Photo additions....

We always have the camera handy just incase something needs to be snapped and over the weekend one of those opportunities popped up when Milla was standing in her car seat looking out the boot of the car at Matt.... a great shot.... But.....


....on closer inspection we found a extra 'friend' in the photo.

Spot the Difference

After the last post of the photos of Miss Milla in the bucket mum had a flash back and has sent some photos through of me doing the very same thing..... I just had to share.




You'd never know she was my daughter really - NOT!!

Summer has begun!

Christmas is just around the corner!!

With Christmas less than a month away and December (and summer) officially starting today we have put up our Christmas decorations!! Milla is amazed at the Christmas tree and wants to touch it all the time but while I was putting it up she was much more interested in the box it came out of.



We decided to not put any presents out in case Fliss or Milla's little fingers go looking...
