What do you do when your child’s body is changing at a faster rate than their mind?
It’s crazy to think back over our journey with autism. When I think about the frustrated toddler who could only grunt or whine to communicate with us, and then look at the boy he is today with an expansive vocabulary who passes as “normal” to so many, it blows my mind.
This week Sawyer started his first season of peewee basketball! I don’t care if he sits the bench 90% of the time; seeing how happy he was about those few minutes on the court made him makes it all worth it. ♥
Holidays with a special needs family member adds a whole different level to preparing for and celebrating holidays.
It’s been nine years since we got the label of “autism family”, and it’s one we wear proudly.
Today was a bad day, and something happened that I’ve prayed would never happen: Sawyer hit someone.
Sawyer has been talking a lot about his Mamaw and Papaw lately.
I got one of the most fabulous phone calls a parent can get today.
