Vacation

This morning for what reason we have no idea E tells us he is going on vacation. So here is our converstation:

Us: Where are you going?
E: Disney World (which later he changes to Land)(I don't think he knows the difference)
Us: How are you going to get there?
E: I am going to take a taxi and then get on an airplane. I know how to get there.
Us: Okay, who are you going w/?
E: By myself (which later he adds my mom and then dad)
Us: Do we get to go?
E: No. But I will miss you. I need to get my backpack and pack my stuff.

So E gets his suitcase out of the closet and packs a few toys. Then he tells me he needs some clothes and PJs. So I give him 1 pair of PJs some underwear and a pair of pants. Then he puts on my shoes (he is still in his PJs) and asks for his coat. We told him he didn't need it. Then he says he is going to go out the door. To which we say uh I don't think so. So for the last 2 hours or so he has been impatiently awaiting his taxi. So does he really think one is coming I am not sure. We have tried to get him focused on something else but it just don't seem to work. So I guess this is his version of running away. Which is going to be kindof hard for him since he isn't even allowed to go out the door w/out one of us. I am interested to see how long this is going to go on today. But he is very persistant. Oh boy!!!

Improvements

E has made so many improvements at school since I last posted. He had a rough several months and he is doing so well now! It is a very obvious difference to everyone. He has even been doing things I thought he would never participate in. He actually stayed for the Thanksgiving feast at school which I wasn't sure if he would especially since there were some parents that came. However the sing-a-long and Christmas party were another story. He did okay at first for the party but then when they started playing games he lost it. The good news is he has grown so much that he now knows when to remove himself out into the hall. I can't blame him though it was really crazy w/all the parents and kids and so much going on so after trying several times to get him to come back in the room I decided we should go home. The sing-a-long was the same way it was to many people and to loud but the good thing about that was that it was the last day before break so we decided to go and hand out our goodies to his teachers and office staff instead. Which he really enjoyed! We have been trying to teach him about hugging other people. He (as you all know) loves to give hugs to people so we are trying to teach him to only hug people if they want a hug. Which from what I saw the girls always want hugs from him. From what I have been told all of the girls love him and there is one or two that are always w/him!

Pig? Elf?

So for Christmas some of you might know that Hallmark came out with these snowglobe looking things that when you press a button they sing and dance. There are 4 of them in all and when you connect them they all move at the same time. So anyway one of them is an elf. E loved to listen to the music and watch them dance and was soooo excited everytime I brought home a new one. So he was watching them all and said something about a pig. So we told him that's not a pig it is an elf so from that moment on that one became know as the pig named elf. We would crack up everytime we heard him say it. We tried to correct him several times before we just eventually gave up!
