Deb, John and Monica.
Will & I went to AK this past Sunday, ate at the new Yak & Yeti restaurant (yummy--will eat there again), then went and saw the holiday decorations at the Yacht & Beach Club Resorts as well as the Boardwalk. These were all taken w/ my new camera
Monica,
We ate at Yak and Yeti too the night before we met up with you guys!
It was a spur of the moment thing on the extra magic hours night at AK. They had only been open less than a week, but it was really fantastic! I will post a cute pick of us with our drinks at the bar when I get a free moment!

Thanks Marilyn! You made me feel much better!You are not the world's worst mom! You're the best! When I look back to how I was when mine were little I cringe!
One of our grandson's(age 9) has mild Aspergers and some of the behaviour is very similar to Tyler's. He can't cope with change, change to routine that has been planned etc. It has taken a long long time for his dad to accept it isn't all bad behaviour, his mum had accepted he was different and worked with him well, but it was getting worse. We had noticed many years ago some more odd behaviour such as he had to go on a certain route to school and touch certain things or he threw a paddy or wouldn't move!A couple of months ago they received a letter from school saying he had been naughty in a maths class. Apparently he just wouldn't do the work and wouldn't say why. The teacher got cross. Joel just said he didn't know what to say to her as he didn't understand and wasn't being naughty. Last year's teacher understood him more, but this one was a new. The other week his mum tidied up his bedroom and he came home and tipped everything out and made it a mess again! They have had a few meetings at school and hopefully they have a few things in place to help him and the teachers. He isn't bad enough at all to receive extra help, which is good and bad. They are beginning to worry about the change of school in 2 years though.
You know, because of some of the odd obsessive type behaviors Tyler has (for example, a couple years ago, he couldn't walk past an open door without closing it or would lie down and have a tantrum), I've recently had people mention Aspergers to me. But not until after all of his appointments, so I didn't know to ask the thoughs of the docs he's seen. SO, it will be something I ask the psychologist about when she starts seeing him.
No You are not world's worst mum as I am same as you too!! With Olivia as her behaviour was terrible recently but this month she is coming on great and nice to me. I was shouting at her too I think I had enough of her temper or cheeky. If we argument she sometime tell me I hate you then march off then come back and give me cuddle I love you!!
She have bad temper and we often wonder if her deafness or frustrated?
But so far she is a good girl maybe exciting for Xmas!!

Olivia could very well be frustrated. Understandable. But good thing she's being good maybe in anticipation of Christmas coming! I wish that would work with Tyler. He just says, "I don't care! I don't like Santa! I don't want stupid presents!" 
Wouldn't he be surprised if there really were no presents under the tree?
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOEL!!!
I'm sending you Birthday thoughts wrapped in Birthday wrap and not combined with a Christmas present!!
Have a great trip!!
Cheers!
