breaks out to tell me that while I was gone daddy broke the rules! I

asked what he meant and he said " daddy made bad choices he broke the

rules, he needs to go into time out and have a spanking mom.....then

he looks a dad and says, that's it dad go now!! time out right there

for 2 min. trying SOO hard not to laugh I asked WHAT rule he broke!

levi said MINE!! pointing to himself, we again started to laugh and

asked what levi's rules were, so he starts listing off, tickle and

wrestel, go down stairs ect giving me a play scheudual, apparently

dad didn't listen to levi's list of things to do and THAT was what he

was trying to tell me, then later he again said dad made bad

choices. when I asked how, he said he ate bad choice while you were

gone.....I asked like what. he said pizza, bread, and continued to

list non diet foods, (WHICH dad is suppose to be working on doing for

himself) son told on him

> the sweet thing to share was we got a big snow storm over break and

our son went out and was helping shovel and we live in a 8 appartment

complex town house style with stare walk ways. my son went from

house to house clearing them with the new kids shovel mom had gotten

him. one of the guys seeing this thought it would be sweet to give

him 3 dollars, he comes in proud as a peacock, look mom I had my

first job I have money!!! he called and told his grandma ect....3

days later we are walking at walmart and on our way out there is a

salvation army man ringing the bell, he stops hearing and says look

mom a bucket, I said yeah levi that is where people can give money to

help poor kids who need help or can't get present, he looks at me,

puts out his hand and said mom I need one of my dollars.....having it

in my purse with tears I handed him the dollar knowing what he was

going to do with it, he walked over so proud and placed his dollar in

can and told the guy merry christmas eve......he looked at me,we both

smiled.....I put my precious little boy in the car realizing how far

he has come from this last year. las year mom pregant and bed ridden

the whole house having strep levi in PANDAS melt down flinging feses

on the celing and making pancake with it into the carpet

ect...drawing on the wall with it ect. no to not have the label

autism and to have developed into a caring contributing american boy

at only age 6 with a crush on a girl. I am so proud of him. this is

the first year he has been able to verbalize what he wants for

christmas and has 'gotten " Christmas. he asked to go see santa which

floored us so we did, he was so excited has his picture taken with

him, and told him he wanted a treck attack which we couldn't figure

out what it was, but we searched high and low and figured it out. he

said it was fast and hit walls and flipped backwards......(he saw it

on a commercial after the dora mermaid movie) we found it and he

keep going oh my gosh oh my gosh it's my favoriate toy EVER,,,,,,,

> leading to yesterday. we had a fix it man come to fix our tub,

levi was facinated (told us at one point that he wanted to be one) he

pulls his sister into the hall and says look jazzy this is the fixed

man, (sister could care less and leaves, he is still staring) I said

levi this is john, he is fixing the tub. OHHHH said levi, john gets

done, (jasmine shows him what she got for christmas) levi gabs his

hand, Hey fix it guy come see my gift, I got a treck attack and it's

awesome......the fix it man playing along so well said ok....and

follows. he points to it, see it's a treack attack and it does flips

and goes room room (waving his hand from one side of the room to

another) OHH says john, levi grabs his attantion again, it's my

favoriate toy ever.....(mom feeling so proud that we got it for him)

john goes to leave, levi leans on the door, hey man, thanks for

fixing the tub john, we appreciate it! happy new years and merry

christmas. it was soooo funny
