circles

Tristan likes to put something on the floor and dance around it. One
of the bus drivers thought it might be duck duck goose he's imitating.

Well, I was sitting on the floor, so he started dancing round and
round me. and ended it by climbing in my lap and saying what sounds
like "hug you".

haircut

I think he's digging his haircut. He keeps putting his face or the
side of his head or the back of his head on my face, or my shoulder or
my lap...

course, last night, neal lightly scratched his head like he
occasionally does and tristan cried. I guess he wasn't ready for it w/
his haircut. just mommy can mess with the new do, I guess.

smiles

asked if I could take more pictures. He looked at me sideways.

asked for a hug, including clap clap and motion by holding my arms
out, palms and two fingers up and motioned to 'come here' with the two
fingers on each hand.

he looked straight at me grinned, and came over and hugged me

sooooo cute!

he just grabbed a chunk and shoved it in his mouth. He really liked the texture of it. we figured he would he has a bad habit of eating tissue.

I had a picture of him with a bigger chunk but the batteries died and didn't save it :(

I took the big chunk away from him and gave him a small piece after taking the shot. figured this was a little too much at once.

squeeee

ran towards the little guy squealing...

and then hugged him

he looked startled like he didn't know what was going on, and then
smiled. he loves hugs.

Godmom and I took all three to the aquatic center (a big outdoor pool
with 0" depth that slowly goes up to about 3 or 4 feet plus a couple
sectioned off deeper areas).

While he'll float in the bathtub if there's enough water, he's too
cautious to completely try there.

but he absolutely loved it

an he was jumping up and down and dunking himself
and he liked it when godmom tossed him in the water and caught him
just as he hit the water
and he also would walk on his hands and kick with his feet (he could
go pretty fast doing that)
and at one point he tried to copy my doggy paddle with one toe on the
bottom of the pool.

also in dunking himself cause he completely lets his arms and legs go
wild he scared both godmom at one point when he first got in an
another woman (I was making my way toward him) cause it looked like he
was falling under.

and he was smiling and happy and he loved the little falls and the
area where the water spurts up

an he was cautious on the toddler water slide.

It was so amazing watching him.

His smile lights up the room

Lily is in daycare today. so trister and Lola can have more of my
attention today. and well tristan, he's so... I don't know how to
describe it. He just, is happy and well I don't know, when I've been
just focusing on him, I feel so un-stressed. (which is a feeling I
don't feel to often lately)

Austistic Pride Day is on Father's day.

Interesting. For us it's the first father's day after Tristan was
labeled autistic.

siblings

Tristan keeps going up to Lily and cuddling her, they'll hold hands,
or just now, he put his face gently next to hers and she reached out
and touched his face.

easy chair

tristan used to always sit in my lap and lean back on me like I was an
easy chair.

he especially liked it when I was pregnant, cause Lily would kick him.

well, he noticed lily was next to me, an not in my lap.

He then waited until Lily lifted her feet up (her feet were closest to
me an stepped between us an climbed into my lap an sat on me like I
was an easy chair.

he's since been climbing in and out of my lap and making me hug him an
tickle him.
