Idols Live Pictures (aka: Noah Meets Anoop!)

In case you haven't read my other post , Noah got to meet Anoop last Thursday when the American Idol tour came through Dallas.

In no particular order, here are some pictures from the concert and from the meet and greet after the show.

P.S. Don't let Noah's nonchalantness in the pictures fool you. He was exhausted by the time the concert finished. He may not be reacting in the pictures, but his reaction during the concert said it all. He had the time of his life!!!!

Thanks again, Anoop and Mike for setting this up for us!!

THAT.IS.AWESOME. I love hearing things like things. It's so great how they treated Noah and just loved him that way. I was bawling when you described Noah writing a letter to Anoop. *sniff sniff* that is awesome

Wow, that's amazing. My son, Adam, has mild autism and has really responded to Adam Lambert. Funny, Huh? He loves that they share a name and both wear nail polish (yes, I let my son wear nail polish - as a mom of a child with autism I'm sure you understand the funny quirks!)

How did you get Noah to be able to meet "his" Idol? I wish that I could let little Adam see Adam Lambert - he would be so happy.

Thanks for the sweet comments, everyone!

Erin and Amy (aka "The Danny Fans" - lol), Danny was super sweet. Just knelt down and swung his arm around Noah.

Meg, one of Anoop's friends got in contact with us several months ago after seeing the youtube videos of Noah reacting to Anoop on American Idol. (We had videotaped most of Anoop's performances and Noah's reaction and then put them on the blog). Anyway, we kept in touch off and on... and he and Anoop arranged for Noah to get tickets to the concert and passes to the Meet and Greet and Afterparty.

Adam seems really nice and I know he has a HUGE fanbase. If you get on some of his fan forum boards, I'm sure you could find out more about how to get meet and greet passes at one of the concerts. Also, he'll know doubt be a star, so I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to meet him at some time.

Oh, and I totally laughed about the nail polish. Yes, we autism moms do develop the attitude of, "hey, as long as they're happy"... :-)

How great! Looks like he had a great time! Everyone did. How did the movie go? I have been meaning to ask, but didn't know if you wanted to 'go there' since you hadn't mentioned it. Just wondering and hoping all went well there too. Hugs.

Leslie,
Aside from how incredible it is that all of this happened for Noah, the fact that you made me cry like a baby, and that I am so happy that you were blessed with such a moment with Noah...one that all moms cherish, when for a brief moment, we are affirmed by our children, that to them we are truly blessed and truly loved...aside from all that...I have to say, my girls were cracking up at your video blog when, about 10+ minutes into it you said "ok, I'm going to keep this short!" Loved it!! We want more video blogs:)

Isn't it AWESOME when people step up and do something so kind to our kids who are a little bit outside of the norm. I am always pleasantly surprised by what people will do when they find out about someone else's dreams. Way to go Anoop. I'm so glad Noah hung in there until the end. Keep blogging.

This is so cool! I'm so happy for y'all!!!

I took my sister (also has autism) to her first concert a few years ago, and JUST took her to her to her second - David Archuleta a little while ago.... It's great to have those opportunities to give to them!

I'm happy for y'all!
*muah*

P.S. About the motorcycle... They scare me too - I am all for the "No Highway" rule - haha!

The Answer to Noah's Shirt Chewing...

NOTE: If you came across this page by googling "Shirt Chewing", please click here for the most recent post on Noah's shirt chewing. Thanks! Sugar. Who knew that five little letters could wreck such havoc? As I've mentioned before, Noah has a terrible shirt chewing habit. I can't quite remember when it all started, but we all noticed that it STOPPED completely when we were in Austin. The only thing that was really different was his diet - since we were living out of a hotel for a week. When we got home, we racked our brains to figure out what it was.... what food triggered Noah' s shirt chewing. We were home about 2 days when Noah started chewing again. Agave Nectar. Sim had put agave nectar on Noah's waffles. We took the agave nectar out of his diet and the next day, the chewing decreased. A few days later, I gave him a peanut butter and jelly rice cake. He started shirt chewing. It had to have been the jelly.. which goes to show that just because it's

Acceptance and Moving Forward

It's been so long since I posted here. I wasn't even sure that I would remember my password. And, actually, I really haven't planned anything to write out, but I just had this overwhelming urge to post today. Maybe so that I can look back on this post next year and see how far we've come, I'm not sure. But here we are... and here I am.... 2016 was a challenge. Not just for our family, but for everyone it seems. I look around and 2016 just seems to be a year of hurt. It was a tough year on so many levels.  A little over a year ago, on December 23, 2015, we were told that my husband most likely had a certain lung condition that gave him only three years to live. We are so fortunate that it was NOT what they thought, but it led us straight into 2016 full of fear and despair.... feelings which continue all the way through today.... and may lead into 2017. To condense a very long story that's full of grief and misdiagnoses and full on panic attacks (for me), I wi

Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!!! I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?" And he said, "Iduvumum" Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?" And he said, "Esssss" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie." This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus). Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
