mother's day

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! I always miss my mom on Mother's Day, but feel especially blessed to be a mommy to two cute boys who love each other so much.


Our friend, Mandy shared this video and it absolutely made me laugh and cry, maybe because it is Mother's Day and my child on the spectrum has been so emotional lately. Anyway, this is a conversation between a mom and her son with Asperger's (high functioning autism). We hope that Lewis has this kind of understanding someday, but it gives insight into the way many of these kids feel (and how their parents feel in response) when they become more aware of being different. If you have a few minutes it is worth a watch (listen).
