This is what happens when you combine a powerful sprinkler and a (resourceful) boy with sensory defensiveness! 🙂 Hoping he’ll get more comfortable with water over the course of the summer!

2011 NMF Conference Teen Program Slideshow
Every year I make a slideshow of the teen conference program (which I run with my friend Ben). Sadly, it’s taken me 10 months to finish this one up, but here it is! I love getting to work with the teens and I can’t wait for all the fun we’re going to have in Chicago this summer!

End of the Year Gifts
Thursday was M’s last day of school for the summer (so early, right?!). I turned to Pinterest for inspiration (of course!) and decided on a project from Lisa Storms.
I got all the supplies from Walmart. The cups were about $3 a piece and it was around $10 for all of the packets of Walmart brand lemonade. So, that comes to about $4.50 per cup. Not bad, right? M also included a picture with each cup.
I know it’s common for parents to give gifts to the teachers and therapists, but I wanted to get something for M’s bus drivers and bus aide as well. The aide in particular has been fantastic this year and I really hope she’s on our route next year too.
However, the labels for this gift don’t really fit for bus drivers, so I did some tweaking and came up with this:
What have you guys done for teacher/therapist gifts this year? Anyone else give something to the bus drivers?
