As I think about all the things my son has done I am reminded how true this statement is!
Yesterday was a good day and one that I thought I'd apply this statement too. A great day for Alex, all around.
First, Alex went with his father to challenger bowling where he has finally learned to run and release the ball in a single motion instead of running, stopping, and releasing. His score also reflects this accomplishment.
Alex bowling a spare:
After that we were off to a family party where the kids went swimming in a "very deep" pool. Alex was brave enough to go down the slide with a little coaxing. After he did it once, he went again and liked it!
Hard to believe that this is the same child that for some reason at the beginning of the summer was refusing to go into pools. Oceans, a different story - but pools he always takes a very long time getting in. Once he is in, he loves it but he is VERY slow to go in.
Alex on the Slide video (yes, he did swallow a little water - but he survived!)
So, these are small accomplishments but no accomplishment is too small, right?
On the "To do list":
- Lose the training wheels off his bike
- Lose the swimmies and swim independently
We are so very very close on both of these!
Kids with autism can do anything. Alex will do it!

They are all growing up so fast.
good accomplishments, looks like they both will be achieved by end of summer at the latest.
This is a great site that you have here. I am commenting because we are actually having a debate on my website about whether or not corporations should market to kids and I would love to hear your input.

Keep up the good work. Jason
Way to go, Alex! Love the video clips :).
So true, kids with autism can do anything, great post!
Awesome! Kids are amazing!
Love the videos. We have a pool at my parent's house that our son loves to swim in. We'd never get him away from it if it had a slide. :)
Your site is very helpful and informative. I too have an informative Gluten Free blog and I am very interested in recommending your site on my blog and maybe you could do the same for mine?
