    DD went on her first pony ride and loved it. I had to balance her but she was having a great time. When she got off she kept petting the pony and calling it "kitty"

    We went camping with DS this weekend and he did a lot better than he did last year! Last we were content letting him hang out in the tent much of the time watching movies; this year we successfully limited him to just an hour before lights out. He played on the playground successfully with some kids, and with some prompting from me, struck up a conversation about Ipad games and had some nice back and forth about Angry Birds.

    DD is starting to pull up and stand while supported. She can even do unsupported standing if she is against a table.

    DD1 is, finally, at her much-anticipated bird camp this week. :)

    Yesterday when she was getting dressed, she said, "I'm going to wear my dress with a bird on it, because my teachers and my friends will think it's cool." 

    I love it when she brings up that kind of theory of mind stuff. And is aware, at least in some sense, that other people notice her clothing choices. This is one of those times when what I thought about parenting is bass-ackwards when it comes to ASD. I thought I'd want my daughter to dress for herself and not care about other people's opinions. I still want her to dress for herself, but I also WANT her to think about and notice that other people get an impression of her based on her clothing and appearance. All those social niceties -- that get magnified by other girls, maybe not so much at this age, but later. 

    I dunno, it might be little, but her caring about what clothes she wears is one of those things that makes me hope she has some chance of fitting in with other girls at some point.

    This is so great! I have had this thought many times. My DS is getting closer, but isn't quite to her point. He has heard his friends talk about their Sketchers shoes, so when I asked him what type of shoe he wanted he insisted on Sketchers. Not at all what I would have picked out for him, but Sketchers it is. My Mom was so appalled that I would give in to him. She would have never, EVER, let me get the "cool" shoes, and would have insisted on the ugly Kmart knockoffs. But for DS, I will probably always bend over backwards to make sure he gets what he likes while pointing out what's hip. I asked him what type of lunch box he wanted and he said the one with kittens on it- I gently redirected him to Angry Birds and he was equally happy with that one.
     
    What a lucky girl your DD is to get to go to a camp about birds!

    My daughter who is usually content playing solo deliberately did something naughty when I was ignoring her to talk to her therapist. When I got my mom voice out for what she did, she giggled and tried to initiate play.

    Today was our dx day so it's kind of hard to think but one positive note is that DD noticed the "toys" at Children's today, and verbalized "toys". At her first appointment back in January (you know the one where they told me they'd put Autism at the bottom of the list, and they had a "real problem" seeing Autism" ) she didn't even show interest in the toys when I tried to show them to her. It's not a huge deal I guess but just that much more awareness makes me happy :) oh also, even though she tried to runaway on our last grocery trip this week she did listen to my directions and try to get things I asked her to off of shelves and put them in the cart.
