LIVE NOW - NO OPPORTUNITIES WASTED!!! LIVE in the NOW!

Every day more and more children in South Africa are born with Autism.



Cullen was born 15 September 2006...



Children with Autism dont show emotion, dont make eye contact, dont play, dont interact, often have problems with Speech and fine motor control...



Cullen continues to challenge himself and conquer all of this...



The Challenge - SPEECH and FINE MOTOR CO-ORDINATION, MORE PLAY, MORE INTERACTION...







Follow our journey, our challenge, our triumph, our lives...

CAN YOU SAY EXHAUSTED!!!!!!

Well well...its been far too long! This month of May has literally left me feeling completely wrecked!!!
I feel like nothing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I do  - can help to ease this EXHAUSTION!!!!

Work, crazy long hours work, no domestic helper for 4 weeks and kiddies will do that to you but wow - really moeg!!!

Any suggestions - anyone?

On the up side - just last nite whilst trying to get kiddies to bed - we lay on the couch cuddling.
Ladybug has since my going away to conference decided nope - NO MORE GOING STRAIGHT TO BED IN HER ROOM - SHE IS GOING TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH!!!

So begins our nightly ritual, pillow and blanket to couch Lady bug on couch - oops then she remembers that school is teaching her to pee pee in the toilet before sleeping - so off the couch - take nappy off pee pee in the toilet - put nappy back on - re dress - back to couch - oops - lets read a book - off the couch - back on the couch - read book and so on and so on and so on...that little stint in itself (JUST WRITING IT MAKES ME TIRED) is exahausting. so just when I thought I had one kiddiwinkel sorted sleep wise (well at least going to sleep)....that big bubblegum bubble has popped and splattered all over my face.

Anyway back to the story - so we lay on the couch and Horsie decides to cuddle up to his little ladybug and makes himself comfy by pulling the blankie over - and then to my amazement - he turns toward ladybug and holds her hand!!!!

I mean holds her hand - and she ofcourse was thrilled and smiled ear to ear - and said Cully hold hand hold hand. It was the most precious few seconds we have had this week.

      ...and in that moment the TIRED DISAPPEARS...
