Very Small Feet

It’s hard when you do the school pick up, kids want to tell stuff to their parents. Well most of them do... Our Egg is just happy to see us and we don’t know what he was going until the school report comes in...  he is doesn’t talk. He says things only when he wants to...  So when he started to come in to kiss his baby bother good night he started to say “Vav you” our hearts were so full... my eyes well up just thinking of it.  It is incredible that he chose to say love you to his brother and now to us when we kiss. We are so lucky to have this wonderful loving boy.  He is always looking very concerned when his baby bro starts to cry. And is very penitent waiting till we need to stop faffing with pram and such...  Obviously it is hard now knowing what’s up with Big all the time. It’s a guessing, educated guess, game all the time. Definitely not a dull moment!  But I am sure glad holidays are over and school is back in full swing (well with Covid restriction...

So I have never actually wrote about this ... not saying exactly what it is and how is it... and well it’s not easy.  About 2 years ago on a nice summer day we have been told, that my partner suspected and what I was in denial about that our little one has autism.  Everyone experiencing autism differently, and it is different for everyone. Spectrum is wide. Some have extra gifts like music or math, some cannot stand certain things, like wearing certain fabrics or maybe loud noises.... some like Egg don’t really speak.  There is no cure and it’s is not a disease...  There is a lot of learning and understanding to do. We are all getting better at this. Some days are great others not so much.  But he is a loving happy boy. He is now trying to talk and learns new things everyday...  My hubby is excellent at finding all these incredible audiobooks, can’t quiet read about it, on the subject. The best discovery so far was  The Reason I Jump by Naoki Higashida...
