Saxon’s drumming update
Saxon has progressed alot this year. His playing is still loud and he hits hard! Things really started taking off when he got a handle on double stroke rolls, now he’s playing faster and his understanding of different time is quite astounding. He still loves to play!
“Mum, this was a great idea”
Saxon had been looking forward to see the Symphony for Kids performance by the Canberra Symphony Orchestra. He had picked out what he was wearing, played in the mud the day before in above pictured outfit, made sure I washed it ready for today… and had the most fun ever. Saxon even ended up on the stage with agroup of kids performing actions to the wiggles medley!
Griff was the real suprise today. Griff doesn’t like noise, it stresses him out. He prefers complete silence. So when we arrived at the Canberra Theatre and as he was taking his seat he said “Look, it’s like Steve Vai” I was suprised. During the first song he leaned over and said “Mum, this was a great idea!” I was suprised. For the next ninty minutes he would hum Mozart on and off. Griff really enjoyed the show!
Today’s your birthday!
Lily and Levi shared their birthday celebrations today. My goodness how time flies.
Saxon loses his first tooth!
It had to happen eventually! He was 7 years and 9 months old. Dad helped…
The Autism Aspergers Act Gala Dinner
It was a wonderful evening at Univeristy House, the fundraising dinner raised $30,000 towards the the Autsim Centre Of Excellence. I had the opportunity to take photos for the event. I was very fortunate to meet Sue larkey who is a wealth of information on all things autism.
Hey Steve Vai, Happy Birthday!
Steve Vai’s birthday is a highly anticipated event at our house. The date is marked on the calendar and Saxon crosses off the days, he was awake at 5 am to let me know that we had to make a cake right now!
I made him wait.
This year we made a “flexible” guitar. Saxon absolutely loves that the neck is broken, it appeals to his destructive nature!
… and then it was time for the birthday song, sung in his best Ronnie James Dio Voice! We had a fantastic day filled with guitar solos and we even let off fireworks in celebration! A nice little reward that marks the time about 5 or 6 years ago that saw our lives take a very sharp turn in direction when Saxon discovered Steve Vai!!
Happy birthday!
Catching up with the cousins
We met up with Ruth, Chris and their families at the club for dinner, it was good to catch up with everyone. The Vikings club proved to be a bit of a challenge for Matt and I with the boys but we know what to do if we go there again!
A future hair stylist maybe?
He found some scissors in the bathroom, I didn’t even know there were any scissors in there. He decided to give himself a fringe trim… at the scalp!! I had no choice but to get the clippers out and finish what he started.
