My son Alex is 7-almost-8, was diagnosed with High-functioning ASD when he was 3. He is OBSESSED with Mario and all of the other Nintendo characters, as well….what is it about these characters that are so appealing? I have no idea, but am thankful that this is what captures Alex’s attention! I’m currently searching for Mario birthday cake ideas, which is how I stumbled across your blog. Congrats on the noise and pogo bounce, may there be many more to come!!

I declare (as we say in Texas). Your children sound so much like mine, it’s scary. Must be the Anglo or the Saxon or the Norman or…maybe it’s just the Quirky. It’s like a parallel life when I read what you write.

Nice Mario.

I love when they are thrilled like that! Nigel gasps loudly and tackle-hugs me when I make his favorite dinner. I mean, now that he’s 14, he can really take me down without even trying!

Oh, I love it. That noise says more than any spoken word.

Oh, that is wonderful! I make homemade cakes and decorations, but mine *look* homemade! I figure that my children will look back at the photos and there will be no question whether I crafted that thing myself. Yours looks so professional!

Funny, there must be some kind of hard-wiring with these little guys: not only do I know the noise, and the pogo, and the hand flailing that probably accompanied this – I do frequently get my arm squeezed like the drugstore’s electronic blood pressure cuff, and also get licked. Somehow, it manages to be endearing and the mark of absolute glee.

But the noise? Around here it is more “severely wounded rabbit.” It scares the cat.

We’re seriously into Mario right now, too. Can’t account for it.

Tell you what, give us a couple of weeks for drying and post birthday and then I’ll package it up for you. Doubt if it will arrive in one piece because they’re very delicate but I think it would make a perfect Christmas cake decoration for the alternative family. So saying few families are sufficiently alternative to consider buying / making / eating Christmas cake for some unfathomable foreign reason!
