best looking allen

When we were at Oceanside , my cousin told me this funny story that happen between her and Ethan. We were in her hotel room and every day Ethan would spot her candy. One night he wanted a pack of nerds so he asked her and she said she would give him one when we left. When Ethan wants something he wont let it go , so he keep asking and telling me we had to go so he could get his treat. So I told Ethan why dont you tell Katie something nice. So he goes in her room and says "Kati I like you, now can I have the nerds." She gave them to him , he thought he was pretty smart and told her son "hey I told your mom I like you and she gave me nerds".
Later that night he really wanted to play with her phone, here's their conversation
Ethan-can I play on your phone
Katie- not now Im playing a game
Ethan -Katie I like you
Katie-maybe later
Ethan-Katie I love you
Katie_Ethan thanks but Im playing a game
Ethan-Katie you are the best looking Allen
guess who got the phone after that

Time to Brag!!!!

Dont worry Im not going to brag about my kids, this post is all about me and how awsome i am. I mean I could brag about my kids... For example Seinna is so advance I mean she is only 31/2 and she says like 30 words, amazing she even gets to go to early preschool because she needs to be challenged more. Then there is Cambria , she is the most amazing actress, she can cry over a drop of a hat, and real tears and her drama is amazing, she hasnt even had acting lessons. Ethan , I cant say enough about his social skills, he has so many friends, he cant even decide who to play with at school, and i mean ever, I think he doesnt want to leave anyone out so he plays with no one so he doesn't hurt anyones fellings, how sweet is he. Now enough about them, heres what i did, all by myself, no help from the husband, I made these from scratch, they were just flat pieces of wood, I even made the drawers.

marcus

I love how marcus only had one front tooth forever

Mothers day

The kids filled out a thing for mothers day about me. A few of the answers made me laugh,
the question asked what does your mother say alot......
Cambria- "clean up the house"
Ethan "i love you"
Sienna "daddy"
So cams thinks im bossy and ethan thinks im sweet
The last question was what does your mom like to do
Cambria"nap"
Ethan"walk"
Seinnas was the best thou when asked what does mommy like to do........daddy!

honesty

Ethan has a hard time lying, if he starts laughing and says i dont know why i laugh uncontrolable, that means he is lying. Jeff decided to go see a movie with Ethan ,they stop at the dollar store to get candy and soda. While buying the tickets jeff hides the candy and soda in Ethans jacket, and zips it up. Then Jeff hears Ethan talking very loudly to him self " Something does not seem quite right about this situation, this is really strange hiding stuff in my jacket" THen while Jeff is talking to the ticket person Ethan again loudly to Jeff "Dad this does not feel right, I dont think
I should hide candy in my coat." This happen right after he was baptized maybe he was trying to be good.
On the other hand Cambria has no problem lying in fact she comes up with great stories without any problems. One example was ,we were getting a manicure, and then someone called and I relized i was suppose to be somewhere now I couldnt leave for 45 minutes so I tell cambria we cant wait for your nails to dry we have to leave here fast. She then says mom dont tell them we were getting manicures just lie and say we had to go to aunt kimmies house because she really needed our help. Again not sure if kids can be quite, she said this so loud all the other ladies in the salon started to laugh

Cambrias Diary

Cams got a diary and loves filling in all the blanks there were a few funny things she wrote that i want to remember
So the diary will show a sentence and then cams fills in the rest
all i know is.....Will is so into me. (wow shes full of her self)
my biggest problem today is...... i cant find the seeds i planted.( shes lucky if thats her biggest problem)
things me and my friends laugh about......boys they are so funny
who im crushing on right now.....fuzzy i love to touch his soft hair
I think its so funny how she talks like a teenager

going green

In the morning before school Jeff starts the car for it to warm up then goes back into the house. When he comes out he asked the kids who turned the car off. Ethan says dad I did you are polluting the ozone layer, and how many times do I have to tell you Im going Green.

lipstick!!!

Sienna just makes me laugh, a girl with few words, but with lots of personality. Every few days i will find her with lip gloss falling off her face.

High school musical

cambria just told me she is sharpay and not gabriella because gab. only has one boyfriend and sharpay has like a ton of fans and is fabulous, just like her "my shoes are fabulous, my hair is fabulous, my shirt is fabulous, my toys are fabulous" and so on. wow shes got great self esteem

Stop reading!!!!!

One of our biggest struggles with Ethan is to get him to play at recess time, Ive bribed him and that works for a little bit, Ive talked with his teacher to assign him a friend, that doesnt seem to work. And now Im threatening him
Me -Ethan If you dont play with anyone today Im going to just have you come home from school at lunch
Ethan- but mom math is after lunch and i love math
me- Ethan if you dont play with someone, i wont let you stay at school for math!!!
Another time at a play ground Ethan was reading a book instead of playing and i yelled for all the moms around me to hear "Ethan stop reading and go play"
I know a little backwards, but thats what you get with ethan, and if thats the worst then im ok with it. We keep working on it last night i role played with him how to go up to a friend and and talk and play with them. He is pretty good with the role play we just need to get better with the follow through.

Literally

With Aspergers you take things literally ,there has been a few times Ethan has taken things literally and they make me laugh

one time Ethan was telling me something really cool and i say "shutup!"
Ethan stops talking and says mom why did you tell me to shut up, I to him I thought what he was saying was really cool.

Another time we were at the beach and Ethan started shaking the sand off his towel and it was right by everyone. My mom says Ethan take your towel down to the water away from us.
Ethan takes the towel and gets it soaked in the water, as we yell Ethan stop no.... He comes back up to us and we say Ethan why would you put the towel in the water
Ethan says grandma told me to take it to the water.

This story is my fAVORITE example.......

then had to explain Im in the car with the kids and they start playing the game raise your hand if...This is how it goes

Cambria: Raise your hand if you think dads funny

Ethan: Raise your hand if you think Siennas a chubbers

This goes back and forth a few more times then

Ethan:Raise your hand if you think mom has a hot body

Now Im thinking ok cool my son thinks i have a good body

Tyler: Ethan I have a hot body, really?

Ethan: ya mom Your bodies super hot. Thats why i come in your room at night and cuddle with you, you keep me so warm because you bodies so hot.

Oh man, is that what he means, I was feeling all good about myself.

The Middle

Tonights conversation about the show the middle went like this
Ethan-Mom I love watching the middle with you because I love you ,Mom why does the little boy whisper
Mom- Will Ethan you know how you squeeze your face,and you say you cant control it, will thats how he is, it soothes him like squeezing your face soothes you.
Ethan- Mom we are meant to be, if he was real we would be best friends, he does things uncontrollable same as me, we are both eight, and we both love books.
It was cute because the little boy on the show has Aspergers and is really similar to Ethan.

silly bands

cambria shows me a silly band and says mom its a bitch, me: what? Cambria : its a bitch ,its shaped like a half bat half witch so i call it a bitch. .

Titanic

Im sure there will be lots of stories about the Titanic, since with Aspergers one of the characteristics is you can obsess about topics. Im not sure where the fascination with the titanic started but its been a fascination for about two years now. I never knew there were so many books for kids out there. So here are just a few stories....

Last night at dinner Ethan says lets play a game.....

Ethan"where did captain Edward john smith die?"
US"the titanic"
Ethan "no where on the titanic"
Cambria got it right with, in the room where you drive the ship.
Ethan" next question, where on the titanic would cambria like her room?"
Everyone that knows cams, knows the answer is.... 1st class.
Ethan" ok , where did the titanic get hit, and and did the bolts pop out, or did the bottom get cut?"
Us " ????"
Ethan" on the sides the bolts popped out, and on the bottom it was cut open"
Will, this game went on for 20 Questions.
If you ever need to know anything about the titanic call Ethan.

One more story about the titanic....

Ethan was reading a book about what came from america and after every date I would hear 1920 the year a blender was made only12 yr after the titanic sailed , oh good kids had Teddy bears on the titanic because they came 10 yrs before the titanic, pilgrims came312 yrs before the titanic,people sang happy birthday on the titanic because it was written 22yrs before the titanic left from south Hampton England.

Ethan only dates girls with freckles

ethan "mom im in love with page from the first moment i saw her." Me " does she have freckles." ethan "not sure i havent really seen her face, mom i dont know why but all the girls i date, since preschool have freckles." Me"what happen to jada?' ethan " oh i broke up with her because she brook my heart. mom all the girls i date i kiss too." so my 8 year old, dates , kisses and breaks up with girls.

One of my favorite stories

The first day of 2ed grade i drove Ethan to school, the whole morning Ethan was so excited to see his girlfriend Jada(she doesnt know they are girlfriend, boyfriend).
Ethan "mom i am so handsome, Jada is going to think i am so goodlooking."
Me " Ethan you cant tell jada you love her, you need to leave her alone."
We get to school and guess whos right in front of Ethan, yep Jada, he doesnt waste anytime
Ethan " oh well hello Jada my love......., Dont you look beautiful........do you think i look handsome."
she was very nice and giggles, and so does every other 2ed grader within ear shot.
what happen to our conversation 30 seconds earlier when i said lets leave Jada alone.

The things my kids say or do

Every day , at least once a day , funny things will come out of our mouths, Then you forget about them. Will, I thought of restarting my blog to post everyday things that make me laugh, so if im having a bad moment i can come read my blog. Hopefully others will get a kick out of my life too. Lots of my post will be about Ethan, Because of his Asperger syndrome, the cutest most funny stuff happens because of him. Dont get me wrong there is negative things that come with it, but i also think everyone has issues that can not be the normal. So i am greatful he is this way because if he didnt have aspergers lots of these stories would not happen.
So heres my first story......
Today we celebrated my father in laws birthday he turned 66. This conversation was between grandpa and ethan.
Ethan"Grandpa how old are you"
Grandpa"39"
Ethan pauses for a minute......"Grandpa, I have a problem with that, 39 is still quite young"
Grandpa" yes Ethan im not old"
Ethan" will if you were 39 you would still have hair on your head, and you would not need glasses."
