Fundraiser for Toys AUcross America- Sending toys to Autistic Children All over the U.S!

Hello everyone ! I just started running a fundraiser for a wonderful cause called "Toys AUcross America" which you can find them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ToysAUcrossAmerica?ref=stream&hc_location=stream

This cause is... A wonderful dad and his eleven year old boy with Aspergers, have been sending out toy trains and cars to children with Autism all over the United States up on their request. 

I have been talking with the dad for quite some time now, and I really think what they are doing is amazing and beautiful, Giving kids big smiles on their faces and parents are so thankful. 

I am running a Fundraiser until 9/25 to help raise money to cover the costs of the shipping fee's since we know it can be quite expensive, and as much as he has been shipping them out, it truly adds up. 

So my Avon Online Fundraiser is http://trisharoberts.avonrepresentative.com/online_event/view.php?rep_spnsr_evnt_id=421394

I am willing to donate 25% of my own personal earnings to Toys AUcross America 

If you would like to help, Please make sure to use the Promotional code: AFTAUA so it may be linked with the fundraiser, and please share with family and friends! 

Thank You everyone for your loving support and if you have any questions, Please don't hesitate to ask away! Have a blessing day

Something about Stimming

Stimming... Something that majority of Autistic children do. There are different ways such as verbal stimming, physical stimming. What does your child do? 

Stimming is shown to be a way of a child to express their excitment over something. For an example: Hand flapping or clapping, making noises as they are getting happy with something. 

Sometimes it could be a child going in circles, jumping up and down.  My son does the hand gestures as well as the noise he makes, almost like a unique way of growling. Here is an example of a way my son stim's playing with the camera on a cell phone lol. At least I know he is happy! 

On that note... My son is done with Summer school! His last day is today which is wonderful. Can't believe he will be going to Kindergarden in Sept! But he does love school. 

Not to shabby of a day!

So today hasn't been bad at all. Richy had a great day at school and enjoyed some water playing! Each day is different, he has his good and bad days. Mostly good at least!

He was up at 5:30 this morning (I really need to start going to bed before 2am) and the morning was a little rough. Surprisingly even after school he wasn't acting out. Normally when he gets over tired.. his behavior changes. He can become..very resentful. 

Don't get me wrong, he had some moments, but nothing compared to other days we have had. He fell asleep tonight by 9pm. Earliest in a while! I just hope he doesn't wake up at 3am. 

What do you do to calm your Lo down around bed time? I normally shut Richy's Laptop off at 9pm unless he does it before me, and we lay on the couch and watch T.V until he falls asleep every night, it's a now routine for us both. 

A Special Post tonight

Good evening everyone!  Not to much has changed lately with Richy, He did have a mishap on the bus, hitting himself and trying to dig himself.. it is the first time he's ever done that, and I am hoping the last. 

Tonight, I really would like to share a special Facebook page with everyone. A wonderful dad of a 11 year old boy who has been sending out toy trains to all over America to Autistic Kids and it's really starting to become known and I absolutley think it is wonderful!   His boy has decided to donate his trains, and they have been mailing them together and it's just very touching. 

Please visit his Facebook page which is called "ToysAucrossAmerica" to learn more of how it became!

Bad on the school bus

So apparently today, I was getting Richy off the bus, and for the first time, they had  a lot of trouble with him. They said he wouldn't stop trying to dig himself in the face and eye, and he kept putting his fingers down his throat and hitting himself in the head. 

This is the first time he has ever done this on the bus. Nothing bad happend at school, so I am not sure what happen. =(  When we got home he has been acting normal, So maybe it's just a bad day on the bus or maybe he's just in his moods? I don't know. He hasn't tried making himself puke in a long long time, So i am not sure where it started today. =(   The bus's Aid had to sit next to Richy the whole time and hold his hands so he would stop. 

Thank goodness tomorrow's Friday and I hope it's a better day.
