For some reason, I wanted to take a walk on a cold, rainy day.



For some reason, I wanted to take a walk on a cold, rainy day.



Mommy and I ventured out on a super rainy day to meet up with Mommy’s friend, Aliah, and have some tea.

This is Aliah. She was super nice!

The front of the tea shop was in an old train car! Here I am, in the caboose.

I could peek out this window to see the rest of the tea shop.

I wanted to go up to a hidden little seating area at the top of the train. I had to climb a ladder, and Mommy and Aliah helped me.

The tea shop provided chalk to draw with, so I wrote my name on the wall, so everyone would know I was there!

There is a new development being built near our house. They finally paved the roads, so we took a walk down Meadowlark Drive. I can’t wait for it to show up on Google Maps!

One of my birthday presents was an airplane kite. Today, we got lucky with a really windy day!

For the day after my birthday, I requested we drive to the airport on the roads of my choosing. We drove all around Portland, including two bridges!

Then, as usual, we parked at the top of the parking structure to get the best view.


Finally, we headed into the terminal to watch cars drive on Airport Way and to run back and forth on the moving walkways. Now I’m already planning out my next birthday!




Good morning, 2018!

It was a really nice day today, so we went out to the field behind our house and played with the glider Nana and Papa got me for Christmas. Thanks for the cool gift!






Eliwen is moving to Japan on Christmas Day. So we went to our old haunt, the Singer Hill Cafe, with her before she left. I told her I’d send her candy canes because she loves them and they don’t have them in Japan.


My dentist had a winter scene set up for pictures, because everyone wants a photo from the dentist, yeah?

Well, it was finally the day for me to get a haircut again, which is always a drag. But this awesome map on the wall at the kid salon made it all worth it.

The Autism Society of Oregon set up a sensory-friendly Santa experience. No music or camera flashes! (They GET me).
Still, there was no way I was going to look at the camera lady. (You can’t just trust a total stranger.)

Instead of asking for toys, I got down to the important business of asking Santa what airlines he’s been on. He said North Pole Airlines. What?? Never heard of that one…and I’ve heard of ’em all.

I also let him know all of the roads we drove on to come see him.

Then it was off to the craft table to make a cool ornament. Thanks, Santa!
