One of my very favorite times of the day is when I call Silas into my room to have morning snuggles with me. He’s so bright and cheery in the morning. I love calling his name and hearing his little feet run to his door and open it and he’ll say “cuddle mommy?” and I… Continue reading Morning snuggles

Siblings of Autism
One thing about this autism thing that truly breaks my heart is Ikey. I can’t help but wonder if he’ll live his life thinking he’s getting the short end of the stick.

Sweet sweet nap time. Glorious. So I’ve been in a bit of pain lately that I’ve been blaming on my sciatic nerve.
