Beaming with Pride

When we first started noticing some delays in Stone, then again when we received the PDD-NOS (autism) and Apraxia diagnosis, there was a bit of a morning period for me. I somewhat feared life for Stone, and in all honesty, with Stone. I didn't know anything (really) about either, but I did know that I wasn't ready to pack up my dreams for Stone.

Our diligent research on schools lead us to Stone's current school-a place I can't credit enough for his amazing growth. We've had a ton of luck with a GF/CF diet and we've worked hard with individual therapists to get where we are... Which is an amazing place! But this? I didn't ever expect this...




On a recent visit to the State Fair, my kiddo volunteered to get up with Ronald McDonald and participate in a magic trick. Volunteered! He interacted with Ronald and the crowd, he was amazing!




Stone is a blessing to us EVERY day, but today... Today I'm beaming with pride. This is MY kid, my kid that has a diagnosis that says he should hold back, my kid who's had a lot of cards stacked against him, my kid that is pure perfection, crafted by God just for my family. My amazing kid!
