My daughter should be toddler of the year because she has a huge heart and despite having autism, has came a long way this past year!
We would like to thank you for supporting Autumn in this year's competition. Your participation helps us support Toys for Tots in their mission to bring joy and hope to children during the holiday season.
We're celebrating the power of play, creativity, and imagination through beloved brands families know and love.
Autumn has a personality that lights up every room she walks into. She’s incredibly curious, always exploring her world with wide-eyed wonder. Even though she’s nonverbal, she finds the most beautiful ways to communicate—with her expressions, her energy, and the way she gently takes your hand to show you what she wants. Autumn is sweet, silly, and full of love. She has a quiet strength, a big heart, and a smile that melts us every single day. Her joy is contagious!
What are Autumn's favorite activities?Autumn loves anything that lets her explore and engage her senses! She enjoys playing with her toy kitchen and pretending to cook, especially after watching her daddy (who’s a chef!). She’s a big fan of puzzles and loves putting pieces together with such focus and care. One of her favorite things to do is play with her dollhouses—especially feeding her baby dolls pretend bottles and tucking them in at night. She also enjoys water play, playing with her CocoMelon toys and listening to music!
How would $25,000 impact your family?Winning $25,000 would be life-changing for our family. It would help us provide even more support for Autumn’s growth and development, including additional therapies, educational tools, and sensory-friendly resources to help her thrive. It would also help ease some of the financial stress that comes with having one parent at home full-time to care for her and drive her to and from school and therapy. With this support, we could create more opportunities and experiences that would enrich Autumn!
