It really is a huge guessing game. She litereally showed no interest in her big "Santa gift" from last year until about a month ago. It sat, ignored, in her closet for over 10 months, then BOOM, she loves it. This is not the first time this has happened so we buy a bunch of items and she will open them all, show little or no interest in 90% of them, so we will put them in her closet and any that are still ignored by Dec of next year we will donate to Toys for Tots and start the process over.

Her son is autistic and I have never personally been around someone with autism before. So learning and trying to understand better is a goal of mine. She doesn't know but I'm scared I won't be good enough or I won't understand enough so if you have any advice on good books or even videos that could help me understand better and adapt more with his situation that would be greatly appreciated. The Boy Is Awesome by the way he adores me just as I adore him but communicating has been difficult. I want to be better for him, myself and it will take a lot of stress off of her.

By keeping that suit, I think you are trying to keep his presence with you. This probably isn't the best advice, but I say keep it. Hang it in the back of your closet if you want to. Maybe someday one of your sons or grandsons will need a suit and then you will be okay with letting it go because you will know that by giving it to one of them, there would be nobody your daddy would rather have it. Meanwhile, it's in your closet when you need to smell his scent or just hold on to his earthly presence. I know you'll see your daddy again in time, but mourning is for the living and we all do it differently. You do what you need to do to be okay. I love you, my friend.Robyn Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477324903882427808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599317265897121292.post-30627280256872493472017-11-04T16:49:01.613-05:002017-11-04T16:49:01.613-05:00Wow lots of the comments rang true to me.

He has already had class suspension for behavior. Somehow I pray to be able to reach the parents and make them see that the child needs counseling, therapy and or what ever it takes to help him behave & sensory issues. His brother is a pica child. And does not eat a variety of foods at all. We take care of the boys every day after school, sick days & vacation days. Their Mother is self centered. I cannot buy try to help the child cope with what is required of him. We are hoping for school intervention, but this should have been addressed 2 years ago. They both do not like to print & color. Do not ride bikes, etc. They need help. Concerned & worried.

I saw a chart once comparing the two and it was amazing. Unless you know if there was drinking or not, I suppose you cannot be sure about FASD. I do know there was not a drop of alcohol in Tate's system at any point during his nine months in the womb. I was his birth mother. Sydney's birth mother was likely an alcoholic. She has so many physical deformities that are small and unnoticeable unless you know her. All are consistent with FASD babies. mother of manyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908483127049496177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599317265897121292.post-92205194050009174682017-07-17T14:50:29.872-05:002017-07-17T14:50:29.872-05:00Beautiful, Lisa!
