My Aunt called me a couple of weeks ago and told me of the show "Parenthood". She said I should watch it because the little boy Max has asperger's. I have been recording this show (the only way I have time to watch it with out the kids) the last one I watched Max took this rubber band ball away from his cousin. When the parents found it they told him that he could not have it because it was not his. He said "you told me if I ask I can have it, I asked ,that means I can have it". I laughed so hard and told Matt that is something that Carter would do. The very next night at dinner he said the exact same words! Matt and I were laughing so hard, poor Carter had no idea what was so funny!
Have you ever seen this horrible back pack things! I bought one when Shayla was little because she is Shayla! The thing resurfaced, Shayla put it on and stated she was ready to go to Walmart. Oh no not with that on, I told her. She said but WHEN I run away you can just pull on this. I told her you don't need that because if you run way I will just spank your bum! I guess that was good enough for the store, She took it off. 
If you are thinking of getting one DON'T. Shayla would just crawl around barking like a dog and neither Matt nor I would hold the other end. We tried to use when Carter was in baseball. I never thought those days of baseball would end so soon :( I don't miss Shayla running away, I miss watching Carter play and hoping he would get the hang of it and love it.
Shayla loves to cross her eyes. Then she taught Grandma how to do it!
