April 2 - Autism Awareness Day!

Cayleb's school held an assembly today in honour of Autism Awareness and their students who live the struggle that is autism. Siblings of students with autism, and autistic students read letters they wrote describing autism in this completely student lead assembly. I felt myself holding back tears several times as the familiarity of their words hit home.

The best part of the assembly for me, was seeing the bond Cayleb and Ivy have built become extremely obvious. Cayleb's teacher had told Cayleb that Mommy, Hermyonie and Ivy were coming to the assembly. Cayleb's eyes lit up the second he found Ivy. He walked over to her, gave her a big hug and sat beside her. His hands did not leaver her once, nor did his smile leave his face even for one moment. Ivy's tail wagged as she gave Cayleb kisses and visited without command. It melted my heart to see these kindred spirits enjoy each other's company.

I am SO looking forward to the day Ivy becomes a student at MSB!
