My little man is watching another on demand marathon of spongebob. It all started with the new slippers he got for Christmas. Now its all Spongebob, all the time...there are worse things in the world I suppose. But...he's singing along with the theme song. He's never done that before. He's never sung along with anything, never done acted out along with a tv show (like Dora or Diego-yes we are a nick household) and now...he's doing it!! If I could I would be doing backflips. There is a light at the end of this tunnel called autism.
There are days when I can look beyond this diagnosis and know its all ok. So, my son is a little quirky, but then again so I am so he fits right in. I probably would be considered autistic by school standards of today. I was in my own little world most of the time, but that was because I was very creative. It didn't mean that there was something wrong with me, I just liked being on my own when I wanted to be on my own. I didn't need to be surrounded by others. Its not a bad thing, and I turned out reasonably normal.
On another note I've been talking to one of the placement folks at DSS and there are several opportunities we've been looking at for a little girl. We'd love to add a daughter to our brood and the Little Man wants to be a big brother. Specifically he wants a sister. This is exciting. Its amazing how prayers can be answered, maybe not in the time we want them to, but they are answered.
Little Man was invited to 2 different birthday parties this month for 2 boys in Kindergarten with him. So, tomorrow I will be off to buy presents at Wallys World (my favorite place in the world-not) and pick up the usual milk, bread, eggs and produce. Also have to go to the library and get some new reading material. Its the start of the year so that means its the start of the health kick. Actually, that's a year round thing but I really need to kick it up a notch. I've been stuck fluctuating between the same 15 lbs for the past few years-lose it, gain it back and the cycle starts all over again. So my goal for the rest of January is to try to break the cycle once and for all.
Game on!
Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld
