In my last post, Lisa posted in the comments about a happy moment with her son that brought tears of joy to her eyes. I started to write this in the comments, but I'm so long-winded, I decided to make a new post instead.
I have happy moments quite a lot with my boys. Moments I just enjoy seeing my children smiling and happy doing everyday stuff. I get happy tears from everyday stuff, too. One from yesterday: I was driving home, and looked back at Hutton in the little "kid view" mirror I have attached at the bottom of the rear view mirror. He met my eyes in the mirror and smiled his beautiful smile. EYE CONTACT! AND A SMILE! For the parent of a child with Autism either of these is great, but together, they're so wonderful. My eyes are tearing up just writing about it. Then I reached my hand back, palm up, and he reached forward to put his own little hand in mine for a squeeze. This wasn't the first time we've done this, but it makes me smile every time.

Wanna swap him for a teenage girl? I'll even throw my preteen in for free!
I remember waiting for them to walk and talk, now I want them to sit down and be quiet...
