he wants - she wants

She wants to buy an i-Pad, like, two months ago.



He wants to think things through.



She wants to download free educational Trevy friendly apps...two months ago already!



He wants to wait til' Christmas.



She wants to make the most of every single moment. We've got a right sided brain to re-wire after all!



He wants to make the most of every single moment and penny...and has heard prices will be much reduced right around Christmas.



She wants him to read this post...



And then she'll hear more about what he wants!

My friend bought an android tablet for $100. Looks the same as an iPad but a tiny bit smaller. Now if only proloque2go was for android and not iOS.

An iPad is probably in Bennett's future, but not today. Not so much because of the cost, but because I don't think he's ready yet. He still throws stuff and doesn't do some basic correlative things on toys yet, so I want to wait and see.

Of course, I could be 100% wrong, which also sucks that one can never KNOW what one's SN child will and will not show response to.

Ken-ly...I think you should just go ahead and get it now. There are some VERY basic aps that I've seen. Visit the babies with ipad blog! You'll be surprised. And it could be that he sits with you for five mins a day...and uses it.

And yes...it's yours truly doing the photo magic. With free online tools...and zilcho training I'll add. Not too shabby...least that's what Tobes and Bri are telling me!

You KNOW you should get it asap!!
(Jonathan - hope you're reading this! lol)
(you could always hardly spend anything on him at Christmas and he wouldn't mind)

So, what do you think of Proloquo2go? Looks pricey and would want personal recommendations before i bought it/persuaded husband.

I do know that H loves using the simple apps on my iPhone like animal sounds so it is probably very worth it, and with the bigger screen of an iPad.

Good luck, kt x

Jonathan has been spying on our iPad conversation...and says that Ken hit the nail on the head with...

"I don't think he's ready yet. He still throws stuff"

But I think I've successfully convinced him that we should invent an iPad cover with adjustable straps.

I don't see iPad prices coming down before xmas. We haven't used ours for Marissa, but the Brother acknowledges it and takes swipes at the screen with intent.

4 months old. There are waterproof cases, I'd look at one if I was you.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
