People who don't have kids with autism will never know how a photo like this warms a mother's heart. My son rarely smiles in pics, but he has two amazing kindergarten teachers who worked with him to get this photo. I cried when I saw it.
Such a big smile.
Teachers rock! ππ

I think the first one said, let me be the bait. Then when he stops you all run out and surround him! πππππππππ

So glad your ok. Beautiful dogs. Dogs bring such joy & happiness to our lives. They also bring protection in case you need it & makes you feel safe. I have a 80 pound German shepherd named Bella. If anyone ever broke into my house I know she would protect my kids and I. πβπ¦Ίπ
She so happy. Little beauty.
My daughter's both had very long hair when they were little. They decided one day they both wanted to cut their hair & donate it. I can't tell you how proud I was that day of my girls

How long did it take to do all that makeup? Did you really drink pure sugar water? I sure hope you didn't, but I know you go all in for a role.
I was folding laundry. I walked out of the room for a minute. When I came back this is what I saw. My laundry was throw everywhere & Bella just sitting in the middle of it. π
Your book has become one of Brandon's favorites. He has the biggest smile when I read it to him. Sometimes he will sit and just look thru the pages. It has such beautiful illustrations.
Thanks for such a sweet little book. We love you Vincent π
Brandon was so excited to go back to school. The last few days he would hold his bookbag & stand at the door. He had the biggest smile this morning when he was getting on the bus. Kindergarten Rocks! School

If they are hanging with dad they are happy. Kids are usually easy to please. I let my 5yr old son with autism play with an empty dishwasher box. We had a blast.
Spent nothing. Priceless time with my sweet boy. ππ
My kids grandfather had a stroke
last week. I just got a phone call and he's now been moved to ICU. He wasn't breathing right and they had to intubated him so he could breath. Please send positive thoughts his way.
I'm really worried. Thanks everyone.

The kids are in bed.
I read The night before Christmas to Brandon. π
Now he's all snuggled warm in his bed. I can't wait to see his face in the morning. Watching kids on Christmas morning is the best. I love seeing their excitement & smiles. π
I found a kitten. Trying to decide if I'm going to keep it.
We already have a zoo here with 2 dogs & a cat, but look at that face. I love animals & I could never let one go hungry. Ashley wants one for her Birthday so I need to decide. ππ

Self confidence is beautiful. π Every woman struggles with it from time to time, but all women are beautiful in their own unique way. I don't always feel pretty, but I do today. I feel strong & ready to tackle anything. π
Brandon has said "Mama"
twice this week. Once on Sunday & once this afternoon when he got off the bus. After he said it he looked at me & smiled.
We walked home hand in hand. I had tears in my eyes, happy tears. Moments like this make me so happy to be a mama. π
I am so proud of my son Brandon. He faces daily challenges & does so with a strong heart. This is autism awareness month.
Please be kind, have patience & understanding. Please put a blue bulb on your front porch during the month of April to show your support. ππ
Brandon's teacher sent me this photo. She told me he said "mama" in class.
I haven't heard that in over a year & a half. When your non-verbal autistic child calls you mama its the best
Mothers Day gift ever. π
Brandon brought me his talk pad & pressed pancakes. π₯
So quess what I'm making for breakfast?
How could I say no to this face?
He knows he has mommy wrapped around his finger with those sweet puppy brown eyes. ππ
My Valentine. My little man Brandon. I got him a heart box of M&Ms. His favorite. For dinner I'm making him heart shaped pancakes. Then watching his favorite movie. Nemo.
I hope everyone has a Happy Valentines Day. πβ€οΈπ
My beautiful daughter Ashley is going to homecoming. She's a senior this so this will be her last year. My little buttercup is growing into a beautiful young woman. I'm so proud of you Ash. Have fun tonight! π
I won't be on much during the next few days. I'm having surgery tomorrow. Please keep me in your thoughts & prayers. I'm sure you have had enough of me. I'll be back soon to drive you all crazy. Till then this precious smile of Brandon's will get me thru. Hugs π€ͺππ
Check out this book!

If you have a kid or grandchildren they would love this book. I'm getting one for my son Brandon.
What kid doesn't love a pig? π·
This is Blossom & Bella.
Bella was a few years older. Bella died in my arms last night.
The girls are so sad. Blossom is grieving, after she does I will need to get another mate for her soon. A bunny can go into a depression being alone after losing a mate. Bella was so sweetπ
Like most moms I'm usually the one behind the camera.
Ashley took this one of me.
She takes great photos.
She can always get Brandon
to smile.

Absolutely. She did what she & her husband thought was safe & good for their unborn child. She was being a mama bear protecting her baby. I see why they left. I'm also glad he is putting his wife & children first. As a husband should. Princess Diana would be so proud of him. π
Brandon just started rolling on the floor with his pillow & laughing. His smile & cute giggles make me so happy.
Nothing I'd rather do today then love all over him. π
Brandon surgery was supposed to be Friday, but they had a cancelation. He's now having it tomorrow. I'm trying to be calm & not stress. I'll probably still be a nervous mess tomorrow. I'll update how he does. Thank you everyone for the prayers & positive vibes. π
This is so true. Brandon did say mama for awhile, but now he hasn't said it in over a year. When he says mama again I know ill cry.
Cry as if it was the first time.

I love quiet Saturday evenings.
Brandon climbs in my lap so I can read to him. Then he lays his head on my chest while I rub his back. He's such a snuggle bearππ»
