On Saturday we went to Simon's first Rock Concert with Auntie Colleen and Joe. Breaking the Silence is an autism benefit that a friend of Joe's started; so in addition to a bunch of rock music there was a big fund-raising raffle. Simon had a ton of fun: loved the music, loved watching the people. He just stared and stared at the first band while they played. In the week that followed he has told me about how some people played guitar with the picks and some didn't use picks and how the drums were played with a foot or a stick. He was watching intently. He didn't love wearing his earplugs, but that was non-negotiable so he suffered through it. After the first band finished up, the drummer swung by to talk to us and gave Simon one of his drum sticks! Simon spent the rest of the day playing drums on the chairs. It still amazes me that it never flipped out of his hand and he never hit anyone with it.
We had to leave before they drew names for the raffle prizes. Colleen and Joe stayed and were there when I won a hand made blanket (YAY!!) and Colleen got the fancy coach purse she had her eye on. Lots of great pictures were taking by a ton of folks. I pulled some from the official page and from facebook and attached below.
