boy bites horse

Dear Reader,

Just as I was about to crawl back into bed the other day (the day started off quite poorly), I happened upon the most brilliant blog. It saved my day. Truly! It is written by a father on behalf of his son with AS. And it is SO funny.  I then spent an indefinate amount of time reading nearly every one of their posts; giggling my brains out. It was very therapeutic.

I sometimes get so caught up in the 'hard' things required of me in raising a child with special needs that I forget to mention or give voice to all the sweet, funny and miraculous things that happen on a daily basis. 

In fact! Did you know that we were told Conrad would never walk? Well he does. It just took him a bit longer - FOUR years longer. Did you also know that we were told that Connie would not know that we love him? HA! I am happy to report that I did not believe that for one second. For anyone that knows Conrad and has seen him with his dad, his brothers, me, or any number of his extended family knows that this is simply not true.
Just the other day his Grandpa H let him 'play' with his scruffy face (which translates into- letting Conrad pretty much do anything he wants to your face-scratch it, pinch it pull on it rub it, and maybe getting a bit of dribble in your mouth all while laughing hysterically) Tell me that is not mutual love at its finest.

Please check out Christyan and Diane Fox's blog-you'll be glad you stopped by!
