He even wrote a letter to Howie Mandel letting him know if Howie ever wanted to take a vacation, he would love to stand in! Shari Mom to DS 10, DS 11, DS 13 Ability doesn't make us, Choices do!

I use to see the Fuzz on his dresser and throw it out and get in trouble. I kept forgetting he wanted to keep it. Finally, I got with the program and complemented how nice his Fuzz was. He appreciated this. This seems strang but there is more... Recently, I mentioned this and commented how it was funny. He started using the word Fuzz as a subsitute for other words randomly thru out his day. It drives me a little crazy. He also collected bottle caps at one time. That was fun. Does anyone have any thoughts on this Fuzz?

LOL, DS started to watch wheel of fortune at 3 and really likes it. He even suggested having a b-day party with wheel of fortune as his theme when he turned 4. Kinda crazy. He started on jeopardy at 4.5. He still likes them both but hasn't been watching them as obsessively. We got him the wheel game that you can hook up to the tv for Christmas, he really likes it and is quite good. Lately he is into electronics, which most 4&5 year olds aren't as enthusiastic about. He can play with his snap circuits set for hours (he just got it for his birthday). We just went on vacation for a week and he brought his set. he kept asking some kids (our friends children) that are ages 3 1/2 and 4 if they wanted to do electronics with him. They were uninterested to say the least. He also likes Soduko and is quite good at them and now can do the 9x9 ones pretty well. He loves all sorts of on-line puzzle games and board games...and some of the on-line puzzle games I don't get at all...but he picks up on how to do them quite quickly.
