Ari Sees Horton Hears

Today we have good news to share and some bad news to share.

We're sorry to share that we have lost one of our Angels on Earth.  Sweet Ashely Williams was just a little older than Arianna.  She was from the Birmingham Area.  Indeed it is a sad week for the whole Angelman Community.  Please join us in lighting a candle this evening for Ashley.  We hope that she looks on us from heaven and that she is able to give Dr. Wagstaff a hug.  We offer our deepest sympathy to the Williams family.

On a brighter note... Ari should be blogging this next part...

- Hey all, Ari here... so Nana took me to my first big girl full length feature film yesterday.  The Autism community, Arc, Pathways, and the Palace theatre sponsored a movie event for us extra special kids.  We got to choose between Happy Feet and Horton Hears a Who.  I chose the Whooville!  Nana bailed me out from school early in the AM... we got popcorn, snacks, and even some press time: http://news10now.com/Video/video_pop.aspx?vids=70112&sid=1079&rid=1115

I sat in my chair and lounged while we watched the movie and had popcorn.  It was very kewl!  I was so excited to tell all my friends at school! 

That night we went for a wagon ride to the diner and then mom and I played for a while.  I thought--- well since I'm on a roll --- why not work on saying something?  So mom and I worked on B  B  B  B Baaaaahhhl.  I got it out once, then did some more BBBBB while we tapped on the ball.  Maybe I'll do some more tomorrow.

Tonight the zins (cousins) are coming from Florida.  Good thing it's nice out here, I was worried about em freezin.  I think I'll take them  out and show them the town... wagon style. 

So to finish up it's been a roller coaster week and it's not even Friday!  Just remember, life is short, smile and eat lots of ice cream.

Peace out- Ari
