People are basically good

If you didn't know, we have had a really tough time getting Josh a communication device. The end result has been a lot of anger, frustration, and right now all we can get is an ipad with an app (only because no one can stop us from buying it)

Luckily, or perhaps not as much luck but because of wonderful people, Josh had an ipad donated by Christmas Tree Jubilee. I had many concerned friends and even acquaintances who gave advice on cases to best protect it. The winner:

Pretty amazing stuff if you ask me. Besides, Tyler's aunt and uncle bought it for us. So now just the app! The one we are looking at is almost $200. My visiting teacher came over this morning with $100 from some friends in the ward to go toward the app. Because of these wonderful people, my son will get in 2 weeks what the insurance couldn't get for him for months if at all.

I can't wait to tell you guys about how much he loves it. I am so excited that he will have a voice. Not with the help of therapists and insurance companies but because of everyday people who want to help a little boy.

Christmas pictures, better late than never.

....And I seem to be having trouble with this so you get pictures with no captions! They are rather self explanatory anyway.
