Shopping and Nicholas are two words that you never used to be able to put into the same sentence unless of course oil and water are also used in the same context. This past Friday night, I took Nicholas grocery shopping. He did not want to sit in the cart – he doesn’t anymore actually. […]

Nicholas had an amazing Halloween – we are so thrilled with his progress and the changes in him – every day he blows us away. Every single day. Friday, he had his school Halloween parade and party. We went to watch the parade and this year, we could tell Nicholas was looking for us in […]

A couple of things blew us away today – Nicholas spelled his name from beginning to end with no help whatsoever. Tonight, as we were eating dinner, Nicholas was drawing. His drawing tonight was unlike anything we have ever witnessed with him before. On the first drawing, he drew a smiley face. It wasn’t scribbles, […]

I am up late, still in amazement of the time that Nicholas and I spent together after school. Sometimes, he has had days where I just don’t want him to go to bed – well, this is one of those days that I don’t want the day to end. Today was a beautiful day – […]

I usually wait a little while in between updates, but I don’t want to forget anything as we have been seeing amazing progress over the past few weeks…. Nicholas talked to a friend on the phone for the very first time yesterday. It was so amazing and adorable — and witnessing it almost made me […]

It appears that Nicholas may have a girlfriend. Yes, a girlfriend. During outdoor playtime at school yesterday, Nicholas spent the day holding hands with a girl and they went from activity to activity together talking the whole time! I never expected news like this. Wow.
