HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!!!! :00003653: I just wanna say I love that red headed/dark headed/nu-hair stranger!

Sniff... me too.

That sounds a lot like my 2-1/2 year old grandson, Owen. He was born 3-1/2 months prematurely and weighed 1 lb. 13 oz. He seems healthy and normal in every way except that he only says a few words (in English, Spanish and baby sign). His nanny only speaks Spanish. He also is obsessive in certain behaviors, like pushing buttons, and it's hard to get him to eat. He goes to preschool and is very happy there but ignores the other children and plays by himself. He loves to play with adults and his 9-year-old male cousin. He makes eye contact and will snuggle when he wants to. Like most 2-year-olds, he'd rather run around than sit still on your lap. He's a beautiful, happy, sweet little boy and so far doesn't have meltdowns. The specialists who work with him are saying he "probably" has autism. I love this thread. Blessings on all of you and your families. M

Hi, All - I just joined today, too. I never had been to FCA until I came to view the pins and saw that there a was message board. I started out at Bolt and never could figure that out, lol -- then found Claymates and from there migrated to ABB, where I stayed for a long time. I was Metis over there. Then I discovered EAYOR at Red Hot Topic, and that's been my home ever since. I'm Morgain everywhere now, although a few from the ABB board and at Texas Clay Fans still call me Metis. Anyhoo - since I never venture much outside of EAYOR (and the Reading Room at Clayversity), I've kind of been looking around lately for another board where I could get to know more people. I read your philosophy and guidelines for posting and loved them, and then I saw Claudia here, so here I am. Hi, Claudia! :wave: I have loved Clay since I saw him the very first time on AI2. I didn't really intend to watch the whole series, I just wanted to see what it was all about. Ha! He stole my heart from the first moment, and I've been his willing captive ever since. I love to read and study - ancient history, philosophy, mythology, religion and Tolkien. My favorite kind of music is classic rock, blues, American roots music, world music and CLAY! I agree with Ivy that everything he sings sounds better than the original. I can't wait for the Jukebox Tour. I'm going to Lake Darien and Indianapolis. Claudia, if you want to come to Dallas and drive to Indy with me, I have an extra ticket - 9th row dead center on the track. And a hotel room. That's about it. I'm looking forward to getting to know folks here. M
