Autism Awareness



I love this photograph of Chase with his yoga teacher and two other "yogies". These girls have become good friends to Chase, they just "get" each other. It amazes me how Chase can arrive to his yoga session pretty grumpy but he sees these girls and they just understand each other - what joy that is as a mother. Last week Chase went to yoga and commented afterwards how great he felt. It was enough for him to tell me "I get there in a bad mood and leave feeling so good."
Today www.autismspeaks.org is premiering different video clips for families to watch in helping them identify some of the signs of autism in their youngsters. Pretty amazing how far we have come in this journey.

Chase has forever etched his spot into my heart! That smile of his fills my soul with so much joy, it's indescribable. You are so blessed to have each other. He you, and you him. Yeah yea for people who give like his yoga teacher, so that smile can go back on his face, and that little light shine. What a privilege it is for me to know your family!
