1 YEAR TODAY!!!!!!

With such awe and happiness, I can say my blog...yes MY BLOG is 1 YEARS old TODAY/TONIGHT...

I began this blog to document our lives through the eyes of my babies, through Horsie and Ladybug and their interactions!

They are 3 and 5 years old respectively, and today as if they knew I would write about them, they PLAYED, and PLAYED and PLAYED TOGETHER...
Ok albeit with a little more reluctance from Horsie than from ladybug...but he participated.

SHE IS SOOOO in LOVE with her big brother, the kisses couldn't be held back, she kissed him at Delta park, she lay on his lap in the car, he played with her mouth (horrified?? don't be - that is his way), she even followed him around like his own personal puppy slave, she tickled him on the couch he giggled back, she kissed and loved him in the bath all the while he "ALLOWED" her into his special space (his domain) and he smiled, and "chatted back."

THIS IS the interaction I have wanted...and this is truely amazing to see, and so beautiful and special. Ladybug doesn't (I think) quite understand how unique brother is...and she can get frustrated when he "DOESN'T/CANT" play, but one thing is for sure, they are playing and KNOWING each other!!!

Now for a boy with Autism this is RARE, this is almost unheard of, what a superb amazing achievement...

So as an anniversary gift to myself as I write this blog entry...I AM watching the HORSIE GALLOP into his own...(for me it may mean a slower version - as everything I do needs to be quick and fantastic), watch him become more of himself, and Ladybug is fluttering her wings and bringing with her, her own gorgeous little smile, dance, song and love with her, helping Horsie fully appreciate and enjoy life.

What a privilege to apart of this...watch this...absorb this..
And feel these things for these two amazing souls...

The began writing a blog to help me - for it to be cathartic - to remind myself of the small little jumps we make every day with Horsie, and to watch how the Ladybug interacts with him and PLAYS...

It is definitely worth it...

and Now I really do believe ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE...albeit not in MY TIME LINE...but in our creator, in our Horsie and Ladybug, and in watching the simple small steps evolve and unpack, sometimes unexpectedly, making those moments even more special and unbelievable!

I love hearing from all of you who contribute regularly...
Thank you for all your support always!

Cheers to this past year!
So grateful and thankful for you blessed people in our lives.
For being our cheerleaders...for being apart of our family.
