11:30 AM Every Day At Our House

Kannin attends a special pre-school every day of the week with other Autistic children. He rides the bus to and from his classroom leaving the house at 7:50 am and home by 11:30. Ryder waits all morning for him to get home. When Kannin walks in the door...the following occurs...

Kannin purposely falls to the floor and Ryder removes his socks and shoes.


Then the backpack gets taken off.


"Let me help you un-zip your coat Kannin."


Ryder loves to help Kannin & is so excited when he gets home!

What A Smarty Pants!

Last week Ryder brought me this piece of paper and asked me what it said. I read it outloud to him and asked him where it came from. He said "I wrote it Mommy!" I was shocked! He is not quite 5 yet! What a big boy. I recognized the sentences from a stool that is in his room. He copied it letter for letter. He is definately ready for Kindergarden.
Ryder's Work of Art



The stool he copied it from!

They DO get along!!! Sometimes!!!

Tysen & Ryder butt heads more than any boys I know. They were in Ryder's room last night for over an hour...being very quiet! When I realized this...I thought for sure one had mamed the other. I went to check on them and to my amazement...they worked together, quietly and built this cabin. What good boys............................WELL....

Just when I thought they could co-exhist in the same room...Ryder knocked the cabins down by kicking them and then Tysen pushed Ryder down to the floor a 1/2 hour after they built it. Screaming ensued = They both were sent to bed!

More Disney Live

More Disney Live...
The Whole Gang takes the stage for the final dance/song number

Confetti and String Cannons Shoot all over for the Finale! We were covered with string...even found some in my purse when I got home!


Ryder wanted to take all the Confetti String Home!!!

All in all...we had a great time. We finally met Mickey and the $132 worth of tickets was worth the smiles, laughs and dancing from the boys! Great Memories! Tysen stayed home and will get to go the the Monster Trucks the next time they come to Billings!


DISNEY PLAYHOUSE LIVE!!!

Last night (Feb 7th) Matt and I took the little boys to Playhouse Disney LIVE! Ryder made a calendar a week ago and marked off the sleeps we had until the big day! They both wore their "Red Mickey Mouse" shirts...yes they are cute to match...but we dress them the same when we go into crouds...so we can keep track of the same colored kids!Daddy Matt and his boys...Kannin 3 3/4 & Ryder D. will be 5 next month!


The Little Einsteins...are ready to explore.



One of Kannin's Favorites...Handy Manny and his friends from Sawdust Lane

Darby helps Winnie The Pooh & Tigger compose a song for Mickey's Music Party



"Meeska...Mooska....Mickey Mouse!!!"...Donald, Mickey, Goofey & Minnie take the stage









End of a LONG day

At the end of the day it is so nice to get home and crawl into WARM jammies. Ryder has a new pair of SpiderMan Jammies.
These little guys played so hard today. We let them watch a movie in our room while we watched our movie on the big screen. They lasted about 10 minutes before they passed out!



Afternoon Out

On Friday afternoon Ryder wanted to go to his 2 favorite places...
The Carwash...
Kannin looks a bit unsure of the big brushes. The carwash is a hit or miss with him. He either loves it or is scared of it.
Ryder, on the other hand...LOVES IT!!!



THEN...OFF TO MCDONALDS!!!
The boys have to have their "Burger, Fries & Chocolate Milk"...creatures of habbit they are. They always want the same thing!

Ryder & Kannin...Playing on the slides.

When it is time to go...they crawl to this part of the equiptment...they think that I can't get to them there!
