After I said the prayer tonight I asked him if he wanted to say anything else. His response:


"Thank you God for golden butterfly.

Thank you for baby condors. (Both of those are from Diego.)

Thank you for cheese.

Thank you for water.

Thank you for applesauce.

Thank you for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Thank you for Santa."


Santa is still really big around here. Santa is the only person he will talk to on the phone. Today he talked to Santa Leslie & Rachel at the CK offices and left a message for Santa at Grandpa Gary and Grandma Susan's house saying, "where are you Santa."


Awesome.


And I just heard a little voice coming from his bedroom singing "do re me fa so la ti do."


Seriously awesome.


And all those words you have been leaving today are totally filling me up. I can't wait to read more on Monday and see what you create.

    You are such an amazing woman, mother, wife, artist, human being. Your art, photos and blog are so real and sharing. My nephew is autistic and I have shared with my brother and sister-in-law all of the links you so kindly share with the world. I find encouragement and ideas for my newphew, inspiration for being an "aspiring life artist" and wonder at how you find enough hours in the day or days in the week to accomplish so much. I feel very blessed to have found your weblog. Thank you for being such a positive spirit in this world. My word is Courage because I have lived in fear all of my life. This year I am feeling so ready to find my Courage and come out of my lonely cocoon.

    LOL I just had to respond and tell you that this morning when we were praying, my 3-year-old Camden thanked God for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, too. Too precious.

    Ali, my first visit to your blog, actually my first blog visit ever. God bless you and your family, Simon is a joy. My word for 2007 was very easy, it simply popped into my head when I read about the word of the year. My word is "REST". I have been on disability for almost a year after working since I was 14. I am now having a blast hanging out at my two younger children's school. My older son is 14 and I regret not having had the time to help out when he was
    in elementary school.
    My problem now is I am supposed to be resting, I have MS that is progressing too quickly due to stress. I need to learn how to say "NO", I just do too much. So, I am going to put he words "REST" wherever I can in my house and scrap a layout about it. If I can, I will post it on your site. Thank you for the inspiration.
    God bless,
    Shaun

    Our kids are about the same age and we "talk to the angels" every night before we go to bed. And since before Christmas, if I forget, Samantha blurts out "And bless Santa and the reindeer and the elves too!" And I say, "Oh yeah, please bless Santa and the reindeer and the elves, Amen."
    And then we go to sleep. :)
