Christmas Parade

So I know it has been a while since the Christmas parade but I thought this was funny. So we went back to my hometown to go to the Christmas parade w/my dad (we do every year). I think this was really the first year that E has gotten into it. Well we let him sit on the hood of the car w/a blanket that way he wouldn't keep asking my dad to hold him. I don't know if this is a rule in all towns or what but you are not longer allowed to throw candy from cars you have to walk by and hand it to people or walk by and throw it to people (I mean really you throw it when you are less than a foot or so away) okay sorry anyway the a lot of the people I guess didn't see E so they wouldn't give him any. Which let me tell you I was fine w/b/c it was that far from bedtime anyway. So couple of times he would yell out hey but they wouldn't hear him. Well this one kid came by and I guess didn't see him and I can't remember what he yelled out it was either hey or what about me or something I don't know and the kid looks at E and then just keeps walking. So E yells out WHAT? I can't do it all justice just posting it but it was the funniest thing. Just the sound of his little voice and the way he said what. My dad and I were cracking up!

Heart Broken

Today when I dropped E off at school there was a little boy getting out of his car so he says the name of the little as if to say hi and maybe wanting the boy to come over to him. The boy looks at E and then turns his head and walks away. Now this really may not be a big deal to most people and normally I would be sad for E but I would get over it. Well today of all days E actually looked sad. Normally when kids ignore him or whatever they do he doesn't seem to really notice I guess that is the good part about his issues he is a little delayed in the understanding and body language of people. I was hoping this day wouldn't come for a while but it did today. Seeing his little face look so sad just broke my heart. It has to be said sometimes some kids just suck!! Hopefully one of his girl friends gave him a hug when he got to class. It just makes me wonder has there already been lots of times like that I was just not around to see and that he hasn't told me? I mean I know that is a part of life but let's face it it is a part of life that we all hope is delayed as long as possible!
