Wedding Fun

Today was our nephew's wedding and we brought the whole family to the reception this evening. It's always an adventure taking young children to a social setting like this. Throw in a young boy with Autism into the mix, and it can be down right exhausting. Luckily, it can also be down right hilarious.

Our first funny moment came when we were standing in line to see the Bride and Groom. As we were talking to our son about how exciting it was that they were married today, he quickly replied "Are they making babies?". Where did that come from??? My brother busted up laughing and wanted to know what we've been teaching our children. What can I say? Sometimes a 4 year old is wise beyond his years.

Another funny moment came when we were walking across a busy street back to our car. We were trying to hurry to make the light and my son was putting up a fight. He didn't want to hold my hand all night, so I just figured that was the problem. But half way across the street I looked down and saw that his pants were around his ankles. Ooops! I quickly picked him up, got to the other side, then covered up his Big Bird undies. Oh, the adventures we have!

Funny thing about Autism

It has been a year since our darling little boy has been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. What a year it’s been! We have had so many ups and downs. We have shed many tears. But surprisingly, we have also shared a lot of laughs. While there is nothing funny about Autism, it has been very therapeutic to find humor in the day-to-day things that our bright 4-year-old boy says and does as he carves his place out in this crazy world. Some of these things are way too funny to keep to ourselves. That’s why we have decided to share them with you!
